Unlike you, CCP fanboy, who think everythign CCP says and does is holy, there are a few people with critical sense.

This is just sick, how many alliances have been funded by this for 4 years while others have been working there asses off to to maintain there outposts.
 How many of the +100 titans in game have been funded by this exploit?
How many of the outposts in the game have been funded by this exploit?
Like already stated how can you CCP not notiss the influx of highend reactions on the marked?
 I can undestand that it can be very hard to compare numbers from a day, a week or even a month - but what about a quarter or a year have anyone ever bothered to check if the potential highend reactions ending up on the Jita marked was anywhere close to what was posible with the moons that was avalible in game to yield this reactions...
Its incredible that the people who dont want to reimburse ships lost to lag or other wird game 'features' cause the action of reimbursing this ships might yield a unfair advantage to those people...how can you then miss this 'feature' for 4 F*****G years.
I didnt actually take the time to read the 14 pages of other peoples whines about this issue but to those of you who like me just read the first page and when last to POS and maybe raed a few comments along the way here is what the issue is all about.
<EVE-Online 4 year POS Exploit>
I really hope you CCP will addree this issue by remove any and everything that was ever funded directly by this money!
Tbh i dont care if it is even my own stuff you remove - seeing as no one ever gave me a few billion for free i cant see how it would be.
But anyway....plainly remove anything that tracks right back to this iskies - POS's, Outposts (yes im talking removing them from space.), Capitals, T2 bluepritns or just plain blueprints - Firesale everything and anything must go! 
One thing is for sure - Just removing the POS's that wore used for this and banning a few accounts is no where close to addressing this issue...

I'm going to reserve judgment until there's an official announcement on this, but I have a hard time believing this has been going on for four years.
... but just in case it has I think I'll stock up on T2 gear now. But still, the whole 'four years' thing, I've only seen one person claiming it and he might just be talking out his ass so he can laugh at everyone going ape****, for all I know.
This whole thread screams Internet Drama to me.

Everyone got greedy, and when they found out about this exploit, nobody said anything
But, 4 whole years....that's like 1460 days and nobody said anything! absurd. (didn't know about this btw.)
Sorry to burst your bubble.
But did you have a look at dys prices BEFORE invention?
Actually there were even free dys moons because it was just not worth to harvest those moons. There were only so few t2 items built compared to the time when invention became possible that the demand for those moon production were just very low.
Invention changed the demand for these things drastically. So you only can really count from this point of time. Before invention those whole moon products were more or less unsellable and worthless.
actually, this is totally true. i tried moon mining before invention and you literally had to know someone who needed the stuff in order to do anything with it. there just was no market for moon materials. even in jita.
so, go back two years and see who was exploiting this. i just wonderin if ccp will do anything...

This exploit was merely a ploy by CCP to create a 'financial crisis' in EVE, to mirror the real world... This is going to make some really nice headline. ^_^

if ccp does the right thing they'll loose subscribers, if they don't they'll loose subscribers. they'll probably loose more subscribers by doing something like resetting the server (the right thing) - on the other hand they'll gain less new subscribers if they don't do the right thing. ccp, you have simply lost - and it's ironic that you bring this upon yourself. eve now reeks of **** and ccp stinks of horse****. all reserved if you give us som ****ING INFORMATION and prove we're wrong and it ain't as bad as many here has come to suspect, but then again, it's probably worse..

A post on the forums ran by the emotards of this game, by a banned player who is likely retaliating is the only indication of the length of this exploit. They had lot's of ferrogel in their hanger just doesnt cut it as proof. Why don't you wait to see what ccp has to say.
Do all you tin foil hatters think that they can provide an answer right away? This came to light in the middle of the damn night in iceland, you know that place where ccp work and live. This will take an investigation, ccp doesnt have a button they can push to spit out a list like you all want. Sit back, relax and I bet when the facts come out it is nowhere near the scope that this mob mentality has made it out to be. But keep screaming, you all look like fools.

I'm expecting the information we want will come out in the quarterly economic newsletter. After all, he was going to be reporting on the T2 marketplace. I suspect someone looked at the T2 production numbers, realised that 0 + 0 != 1 BILLION ISK, and called the devs in to ask some meaningful questions.
However, why the problem with reactors continuing to produce stuff after the inputs have been shut down wasn't reported as a bug into their bug tracking system (and subsequently fixed), is still cause for concern.
Fixing this bug should bring the market around a little to allow new manufacturers to break in with a lower barrier to entry, at the very least.
edit: As for the billions of ISK accrued through sales of forged/exploited materials, I'm sure the folks who were relying on that ISK for their playstyle will come to miss that income very quickly. They'll have developed a habit for blowing up expensive ships, which will be hard to break.

Yes, you are right. Nobody is there, that is why all posts about it are being locked quickly and Wrangler opened this thread.
And it is all probably a fabrication, like the T2 bpos created by T20. Oh wait...

BoB alt I am not, I can assure you of that. And I missed the part where I said there was no exploit, in fact I clearly stated I think there is one, I disputed the time. I merely indicated that this tardmob, and you genius, should wait till ccp can look at the situation and provide a response. Have a nice day!
PS CCP owned up to the t20 thing, albeit in a non-conventional way, additionally, he doesnt even work there anymore, he left recently to pursue his career with a different company. |

If what I've read here, and in other mediums is true, Holy S**t CCP... that's big, I mean at least the t20 thing required a stimulation of the market by pulling in minerals and reactions to build for those T2 Missile BPOs. But this is just ridiculous, I mean this has the potential to break the market, It's been going on so long. Availability of the T2 products that required these materials is going into the drink fast.
T2 Prices will soon skyrocket. I'm just amazed that you allowed this to go on so long, AND YOU KNEW ABOUT IT! I'm not leaving, I'm not quitting, no you guys can't have my stuff, but CCP I am disappointed in you.

After careful consideration of the situation, I believe we're being trolled, as I stated in my now-locked thread  .
Some unidentified guy says he got banned for exploiting Ferrogel, then the exact same day Wrangler confirms it. While I don't doubt our mysterious poster did indeed get banned for the exploit Wrangler is talking about, I really, really, REALLY have a hard time believing it went on for four years.
I find it much more believable it's a glitch that was introduced with alchemy and the actual fallout will be minimal once the forum drama dries up.

I'm sure CCPs records don't go back 4 years. We were told as much during the t20 crisis when they had to implement new tools to track things. As such we'll never know with 100% certainty that it has gone on that long, however I'm inclined to believe the reports that it has been going on that long.
I do not believe the economic guru should be singled out as a target or that he should be held accountable. In fact the delay in his report could be related to this issue. Perhaps he was working out the numbers and discovered what was should not be possible.
If as reported by members of several alliances and corps that various tickets were sent in reporting this issue over the past few years, then I do believe we need an internal affairs investigation to make certain that no employee of CCP was involved in complacency or outright cover up of this issue. The reports are from such a diverse group of alliances, who are not blue to one another and in some cases actively at war with one another that I tend to believe the reports.
Let's not have another t20 incident. Let's get it out in the open, list all pilots so banned (just by pilot name) along with their corp and alliance tickers. If IA discovers improper actions by CCP employees list them as well.
I only was able to get on for a couple hours yesterday so I didn't see how big this was til tonight. We may well suffer an in game economic collapse. However at the same time this could return profitability to invention for items that currently have not been profitable.

Thread has been open long enough, time for CCP to put their communication plan in action :-
0. Don't let that bloke from the ghost training debacle post, get Wrangler even if he needs to be pulled out the pub.
1. Reveal news late in the Euro Zone (make people stay ujp late hoping for news, they will underperform at their work the next day and have more important things to worry about)
2. Make thread disappear just before 8am Euro time (use the we aren't hiding it, it's an accident approach)
3. Create a small thread pointing to the "lost thread" 7 hours later.
4. Lock new thread so it looks like no one cares about the issue.
5. Release a patch or unrelated Dev blogs (give details of next expansion early if possible, it keeps them quiet)
6. Wait till the rabble dies down then reveal the old thread again (we have to look transparent you know)
I suppose this must be my sig. I'll do something cool with it eventually. |

I see how this exploit gave some players an unfair advantage where isk meant little to them and using all tech II ships worth billions was of little concern as they could be replaced easily.
HOWEVER - the bigger question is what will the market do w/o the trillions in tech II reaction materials? Everyone remember gas in the US going from 1.49 to 4.29 in a year and a half... guess what happens to all tech II gear if the material prices double in the next month? From tech II drones, to tech II capitals (even the carebear jump freighters) will more than double.
I am not sure the average EVE player is prepaired to loose billion isk ships while doing missions or use 25 mil tech II drones... not to mention a 250 mil Hulk...
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm taking all my hulks and tech II gear off the market this week. I'll be hoarding billions of isk worth of tech II gear and ships that I used to sell until I see what happens in the market.
No CPP we're not going away, but I see a major recession coming to EVE where the average player will loose much of their buying ability due to the 'fixing' of this bug. Check with your economist on the effects of eliminating a cheap resource that everyone relies on to the rest of the economy.

Unfortunately, I think you can't be more correct in this observation.
CCP does not dare to fix this problem entirely, as all those people who gained loads from this, will find EVE too hard to play, and eventually quit, because isk isn't flowing into their pockets like water down Niagara falls.
I am pretty sure something is rotten within CCP, or this would have been stopped long ago.
I also think that CCP won't tell us anymore than we could eventually find out ourselves.
Damage control FTL.
I highly doubt they dare do the right and honorable thing. CCP is a company, and a company's foremost interest is profit, nothing else.

The only official announcement you (or anyone) will be getting is the snippet at the start of this thread. Anyone who actually expects more from CCP is deluding themselves.
This company has run roughshod over the playerbase plenty of times before to make me expect anything more from them this time around. |

I agree with the idea that only a tranquility sovereignty and market reset will be the only thing that can undo most of the damage cause by this exploit. Players have been using this to gain an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE for themselves and the corps/alliances they funded, While regular player were forced to fight against a force that had AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE In the four years this has been happening irreversible damage has been done and even those indirectly involved (corp members) have been able to gain unfair advantages.
Some may say a reset is unfair but what about those who have struggled against the large alliances? How many wars and conflicts have been changed due to the near endless flow of cash the exploiting players (and their alliances) held? Resetting just the map wont fix the advantage of advanced implants that exploiters could have used to gain skill quicker than others as well.

Alright, so be it. I'll step in and raise a few of my concerns regarding this.
---
First and foremost, I have some questions I want answered. No, actually, I demand answers. Politely demand, but demand none the less. The following simply MUST be answered.
Question To CCP #1:
Is it true that you knew of this exploit roughly 4 years ago? If so- why did it take you so long to react to this exploit?
Question To CCP #2:
Roughly how many accounts have been banned?
Question To CCP #3:
What alliances were involved? Name & shame. No alliance should be let 'off the hook' so to speak. They exploited the game to unprecedented proportions and should suffer the consequences.
Question To CCP #4:
I think it's pretty obvious to everybody now that this exploit, over the years, has funded an untold number of 0.0 outposts, POS's, capitals, super-capitals, and perhaps more than that. How do you plan to deal with this?
Question To CCP #5:
You altered the price history for many items on TQ. This has, without a doubt, hurt your player-base. We are literally paying for the actions of a few. We're being punished. We're losing ISK. We're losing time. You have seriously hurt us by altering the markets in the fashion you did. How do you intend to make this up to us, the players?
Question To CCP #6:
This exploit, if used to the proportions being suggested, has surely had an effect on 0.0 politics. If wars have been won because of this exploit, how do you plan to address it? Will alliances be punished? Please clarify this ASAP.
---
I don't have any further questions at this time.

You sir are certainly entitled to have an opinion on my opinion.
As far as your referencing internet spaceships to an incident that cost thousands of lives and had a reaching and lasting global economic impact. Dd the world a favor, buy a bullet and rent a gun, short of that get fixed so your dumb ass can't reproduce for making what is quite possible the stupidist comment I may have seen on these boards in my 5 years.
