Originally by: Durzel If you sunk billions into this, knowing full well it was unintended behaviour, and failed to get out when it was obvious that CCP were going to react, then you don't deserve the spoils.
How do you know it was unintended behaviour?
Actually, reprocessing modules was INTENDED. They even changed the default reprocessing into something special where you didn't get all the materials on the blueprint list, especially you didn't get the capital component parts. So they were FULLY AWARE that people are going to reprocess these items.
Besides that, the cyno-jammer translates into planetary interaction raw materials average price of 0,70 isk per unit raw material.
Most of the currently sold npc items which are used and produced by PI (like water, coolant, robotics, mechanical parts etc.) are below 0,45 isk per unit raw material. So they are much cheaper than the cyno-jammer in comparison and still CCP thinks that this is perfectly okay.
So, why do you think it was unintended? Everything points out that this was fully intended. |

It was possibly unintended as it was essentially rendering PI useless and was a ISK printing machine. I might also add, that CCP did say that it was a bug.
Bugs usually are unintended for most software developers.

It was not a bug , it is just CCPs excuse for being ignorant.
Somehow minerals and construction parts were not recoverable which indicates they were aware of reprocessing.
And now NPC orders ( guidance systmes anyone ? ) just shows their incompetence again.

Not sure if serious...
Originally by: CCP Chronotis Hi Folks,
There is indeed an issue where you can reprocess the starbase modules whilst they are still regulated by the old market supply prices and use those materials to manufacture other more expensive modules. This unfortunately was a timing issue with our transition to planetary interaction from old to new supply routes and as can be seen, was not handled in the appropriate way.
For those of you looking forward to Planetary Interaction on June 8th, do not worry as these issues will be cleaned up and appropriate measures will be taken to ensure there will be a viable market for you. Those of you currently gambling on profiting from this error should heed that as a warning before splashing more isk here.
Apologies for this bug and further updates will follow in the future!

I know you're just trolling, but I keep seeing this "it's not an exploit" phrase being posted repeatedly. You guys do realize that, had they declared it an exploit, they would have had to BAN everyone who took advantage of it, right? They should have just posted "it's an exploit, but we won't ban for it, this time" for less confusion.

Now that's insight!
+1 internets for you, sir! However, you might want to consider a few things, first of all; I now have one of those annoying sigs. second; you should probably move on to some more interesting things than reading this sig.

Ccp don't always ban for playing the unfair advantage game. Go buy 3bill isk off an isk farmer and spend it on minerals, then make and sell the ships.
Wait for ccp to catch up and check how low your wallet can go into negative territory.

Does anyone actually care about the technicalities of this? The people taking advantage knew full well they were actively helping break PI and would ruin the expansion for anyone interested in it.
Bug, exploit or burger bun, however it happened, I'm glad....

Edited by: Roemy Schneider on 10/06/2010 17:25:47 it wasn't a bug and hence not an exploit (as con-notated here)
it was a major design flaw: some items were completely off the scales and since the mineral compression nerf 3 years ago, the NPC-sold shuttles and afterburners - and let's not forget pos mods - reprocessing should have been considered.
CCP ****ed it up like an Xbox-Live designer creating battle.net 2.0 - and now won't take proper responsibility by going taking the easy way out causing collateral damage left, right and center.
one fail leading to another fail, the CCP way Ö
Ç: no, i haven't invested in this. this entire PI thing is pointless as long as NPC buy~ and, most of all, sell orders exist. and i'm done expecting anything "in the near future"... it's CCP - they won't do anything about it for the next 3 years - putting the gist back into logistics |

more like when someone steals your tv on your property, injures themselves in the process, then sues you, the only difference being at least CCP isn't THAT ******ed to allow the suing to take place, unlike laws in some places that help criminals sue for hurting themselves on your property. silver lining about it being not like real life there. alts are for people with a USD/life ratio higher than adolfs K/D in WWII. - Ekrid

Did you seriously think, though, that CCP would allow the essential destruction of the PI system by letting people keep the P4 modules (an endless supply of them, by the way) before the system even launched?
I reprocessed a few modules myself, but I certainly turned them back into the originals as soon as we saw "broken X P4 item" showing up on the test server.

They could just have put the construction components into ramTypeRequirements so they are not affected by waste, it doesn't necessarily have to do anything with reprocessing. Maybe they didn't think of that.
