CCP has fixed the exploit. CCP has banned numerous accounts, and more will likely follow, based on conclusive evidence of directly utilizing a bug for gain. CCP has destroyed every POS verifiably involved in the matter.
The game will move forward. Prices will go up and folks won't like it, but prices can't rise above what the market will bear, or goods simply won't be sold. The market will balance itself under these new conditions without an influx of materials pulled out of thin air.
It is reasonable to expect CCP to correct the matter as far as ensuring it cannot continue and punishing those who clearly, willfully abused the game. It is also reasonable to question how this could've slipped through the cracks for four years. It is unreasonable, however, to expect that CCP can (or should) punish everyone who conceivably benefited from this problem, as that would include every player who has ever purchased T2 equipment; your costs were lowered overall by an influx of "free" materials.
What I find most boggling is the fact that EVE has a dedicated economist who didn't spot this. Perhaps CCP should hire or assign employees to periodically audit corporation and alliance finances to identify such egregious abuses in the future.
I also find it hard to believe that the people taking advantage of this broken game mechanic for so long didn't brag to their friends. Those people who knew it was happening may benefit the most, as they are equally guilty for allowing such activity to continue without notifying CCP, yet they cannot be conclusively linked to the wrongdoing itself. While many are quick to lambast CCP for the current situation, I presume there were a great many players who sold their integrity over the past four years for a few kickbacks from the direct offenders.
I'd like to thank CCP for executing justice as swiftly as possible and fixing the exploit so this can't happen again.
And Santa Claus will save us all, this Dec 25th. Now go to your dad and tell him to explain to you hw you were born.
Please, there should be a minimum age to post in these threads...
PS. If you are not a 12 year old boy, I really pity you.
somehow you have managed to completely ignore probably the most reasonable and balanced comment in this thread and then go on to make personal insults. nothing in the post is immature. it is a calm, rational post. your response however is a different matter.
in fact your post is so ironic I cant help but feel i just responded to a troll
