Jacque Custeau Knights of the Minmatar Republic	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:09:00 - [31] No one mentioned megacyte duping! Basically some people found a way to duplicate megacyte right in their hangars! Thankfully the offenders were not wise enough to launder the megacyte (e.g. use it to build ships/items) and dumped it on the market. This raised a flag with the GMs, and as I understand it they got permabanned. -------------------
Lady Valory Caldari Caldari Strike Force	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:11:00 - [32] Level 4 courier missions... They used to require you to move NPC trade goods, and you could complete them without being in the station... SO: Have a Level 4 q20ish courier agent... Put 1 billion isk of trade goods in about 20 stations where you had to deliver the courier goods... Then spam ACCEPT MISSION and MISSION COMPLETE! The top level 4 courier missions with max LP skills generated easily 9000Lp a mission and about 4mil isk in rewards... Doing this would net about 250000-500000LP a day as when you got good at it, you'd have multiple L4 courier missions in a cluster and billions of isk in trade goods in the cluster... All the goods you would redistriubute with a freighter...
RedSplat Suddenly Ninjas	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:11:00 - [33] Originally by: ApaKaka 0.0 Cosmos plex despawn camping to effectively 'own' multi-billion isk plexes from DT-to-DT Of these only POS-bowling are currently considered an exploit these days, but the rest still go on. If you want to see people farming COSMOS go to Ikahana I don't want to set the world on fire
Lady Valory Caldari Caldari Strike Force	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:13:00 - [34] Equipment arrays at POS's used to reduce the mineral inefficiency too much, so you could make a ship for X cost at a pos and then reprocess the ship for X + Y outcome... This netted people billions...
RedSplat Suddenly Ninjas	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:14:00 - [35] Originally by: Caffeine Junkie Edited by: Caffeine Junkie on 27/11/2008 14:03:02 You used to be able to adjust your graphics settings in a certain way to make out the outline of a cloaked ship. CCP has now fixed this by removing them from space altogether, which is why sometimes you do not decloak when an interceptor comes past less than 2,000m from you as you client may not have updated in the moment it was inside that range. I beleive you can use nhancer to flag cloaked ships currently, its one of the graphical issues you get when using HD and Bloom concurrently with certain compatability settings. I don't want to set the world on fire
Lady Valory Caldari Caldari Strike Force	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:17:00 - [36] Carriers used to let you have cargo ships in their ship bays filled with cargo... It was a common thing to get some IT 5s (or IT IIIs) loaded with all expanded cargo II and then 3 cargo rigs... Then you would stuff them filled with things and stuff the ships in a carrier---BOOM--mini jump freighter... Once in a while if you browse enough killboards you will still see a rigged IT 3 popped. All the younger players on the killboards then post STFU comments like, "OMG what a loser for rigging an IT III!" They don't realize that these IT IIIs are left over from that exploit mechanic.

Crucifier The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:19:00 - [38] Jetcan mining, launching jetcans to mine wasn't an intended game mechanic and is therefore an exploit. Instabookmarks, pirates came up with bookmarks to warp to a gate at 0km before warp to zero to be able to get through high sec unharmed.
Mikal Drey Minmatar Priory Of The Lemon Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:25:00 - [39] ive always considered a sec can to be a very broken mechanic/exploit. its bigger on the inside than on the outside :/ you see alot of ships using cans to increase space. one of the old school pvp tricks is to put cap boosters inside a can in your hold to squeeze that last cap booster in. dreads and carriers use cans for extra jump fuel space :/

Zaknussem Caldari Intrum Industria	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:40:00 - [41] Originally by: Crucifier Jetcan mining, launching jetcans to mine wasn't an intended game mechanic and is therefore an exploit. Instabookmarks, pirates came up with bookmarks to warp to a gate at 0km before warp to zero to be able to get through high sec unharmed. I think you need to learn the definition of the word "exploit", and how it relates to "unintended game mechanics". Here's an example: Adding red Supercapital pilots to your buddy list. This way, you'll always know when they (and their ships) are online. Exploit or Unintended Game Mechanic? Another example: Webbing friendly Freighters while they're aligning to warp, resulting in them needing only a fraction of the normal time to warp off. Exploit or Unintended Game Mechanic?
Sergeant Spot Black Eclipse Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2008.11.27 22:07:00 - [42] Originally by: Crucifier Jetcan mining, launching jetcans to mine wasn't an intended game mechanic and is therefore an exploit.

Quoting the knuckling dragging stupidity before he can edit it out. Play nice while you butcher each other.

Please explain to me how it is even remotely possible that CCP did not INTEND and PLAN on secure cans being used that way? Play nice while you butcher each other.
ouroboros trading Gallente Medics On Fire	Posted - 2008.11.28 01:01:00 - [44] there is presently a method of duping modules by using the ship fitting screen and a small secure container with a blank password. simply drag the module back and forth from the container to the fitting screen and back again as fast as you possibly can, eventually (within a minute if you're fast enough) the module will dupe. there will be two of them, one fitted and one in the container. rinse and repeat. only works with modules, not ammo. all the richest people in this game got rich by cheating, exploiting and glitching, as is the same with any other mmo. 275844? That's Numberwang!
ouroboros trading Gallente Medics On Fire	Posted - 2008.11.28 01:05:00 - [45] also FYI a level two mission (i will not say the name, but it is handed out by security agents) spawns an empty Opex Yacht. Your mission goal is to blow it up, however you can board it and dock it in a station. And bam, you have yourself a genuine Opex Luxury Yacht. My only guess is the mission was made by new staff who have no idea what an opex yacht actually is. 427273? That's Numberwang!
dalman Retrofitted Neogenics Amalgamated	Posted - 2008.11.28 01:15:00 - [46] Obviously, the duplicating of items has to be the biggest exploit ever. These two posts are about the same bug, as you could duplicate anything. But it's most known as megacyte duping, since that was the most profitable way to use it. Originally by: PuncherDavis Edited by: PuncherDavis on 27/11/2008 15:08:01 Miner exploit.. Due to lag in eve sometimes when you would drag ore from your cargo to Jetcan it would not register the ore being taken out of the cargo hold. Heard of a guy do this one day as fast as he could and when it caught up his cargo can was holding 344,000 m3 of a certain rock...THis went on for a bit then eve fixed the problem Originally by: Jacque Custeau No one mentioned megacyte duping! Basically some people found a way to duplicate megacyte right in their hangars! Thankfully the offenders were not wise enough to launder the megacyte (e.g. use it to build ships/items) and dumped it on the market. This raised a flag with the GMs, and as I understand it they got permabanned. And no, this bug was not noticed by a flag (well, there could have been flags without action yet)... It was in the very early days of EVE with the war between Stain Alliance and RUS, when a war target industrial was killed and it turned out to be filled with megacyte. Back in those days, that was an insane worth of minerals - and if anyone actually would have had such an amount of mega it wouldn't have been transported in an industrial. Needless to say, when this had been discovered it was quickly fixed and bans were handed out... Am I forced to have any regret? I've become the lie, beautiful and free In my righteous own mind I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me
Sheikh Yarbhouti	Posted - 2008.11.28 05:26:00 - [47] I'm wondering if the "POS hiding" exploit mentioned by GM Grimmi in the sticky could be used to hide other things, such as asteroid belts, exploration sites, stargates, stations... It's interesting to read about these things, and I wonder sometimes how people even manage to discover them. On the other hand, I'm also one to want everyone to play the game fairly.

Kuolematon Space Perverts and Forum Warriors United	Posted - 2008.11.28 07:49:00 - [49] Originally by: Mikal Drey Privs funded a metric **** load of wars so people could pvp in empire. Empire became a complete warzone. someone in CCP lost a ship to privateers and that was the end of that saga .. and my corporation was there when Privateers saw it's first dawn and glory. I WAS THERE! waves amarr-victory flag "The Amarr are the tanking and ganking floating rods of ~~gold~~crap"
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2008.11.28 07:56:00 - [50] Originally by: Kuolematon .. and my corporation was there when Privateers saw it's first dawn and glory. I WAS THERE! waves amarr-victory flag takes flag away gives caldari flag Naughty K. My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.

CCP Navigator C C P	Posted - 2008.11.28 13:29:00 - [51] Hello everyone, Please do not discuss or highlight explits which may be possible on Tranquility at this time.

ouroboros trading Gallente Medics On Fire	Posted - 2008.11.28 13:30:00 - [52] just so ya know the exploits i mentioned are 100% made up :P 365433? That's Numberwang!
Karille Gallente Lordless	Posted - 2008.11.28 13:40:00 - [53] Originally by: ouroboros trading just so ya know the exploits i mentioned are 100% made up :P What if they're real and you just didn't know it?
Aarin Wrath Caldari	Posted - 2008.11.28 14:56:00 - [54] Another lag exploit: In jita, back when it was uber super laggy with "only" 300 people in sys, and there was no contract system, people would trade goods (usually very expensive faction items) via the trade window in Jita. If Jita was especially laggy, and the player was fast they could trade items without really trading them. How it worked: Player 1 puts navy raven in trade box, player 2 puts 1bill isk into the trade window (CNRs used to be pretty expensive) and clicks accept, player 1 quickly moves item back into his own hanger and clicks accept. Player 2 now has traded nothing for 1bill isk.
