from eve-online.de comes this

Quote:Hello Every one

I would like to tell you a short eve story
Today all of my EvE Online accounts were banned
I was sure that this day would come.
What surprises me is that it took CCP this long to catch up with me.
Even though they knew about it.

But now to the story:

The time is November 2004.
The EvE Universe is excited about the Starbase patch.
The new System Sov. is introduced.
The face of Eve has changed.
How right they are.

Two weeks after Patch day we built our first POS.
We wanted a piece of the moon mining pie and also wanted to figure out how it word as none of us knew exactly.
After our first try we were aggravated that we could get it working and decided to try again the next day to finish our project.
The next day to our amazment we found that the silos in our unfinished POS chain were full. After a short time we found out the reason for this phenomenon.
The POS system was BUGGED.
Of course a petition was sent to CCP to make them aware of this situation and the answer was sobering.

ôYour petition has been receivedö CLOSE

But the phenomenon was still there.
After a week we decided what to do.
We built a POS network that included over a dozen POSÆs in lowsec and checked the market prices. After a short look we decided on Ferrogel and Fermionic Condensates.

The Story today.

The expanse of this so far is probably lost on most people so I would like to make a few facts clear.
In the past 4 jears we are talking about ISK in value of 2.500.000.000.000 ISK to 3.000.000.000.000 ISK.
ThatÆs 2500 û 3000 billion.
Everyone that owns a T2 item can bet that it was build in part from resources due to this phenomenon.
At this point I would like to thank CCP for making it possible to buy GTCÆs with ISK.
So much about us.

What the other 3 large alliances did with this knowledge is unknown to me.
But I can tell you that weÆve sat with coverts in front of POS chains and watched it happen.

Titans are expensive !

In closing.

Some IÆm sure will say ôwell are you proud of yourself?ö or ôYou cheater-exploiterö
I only have one thing to say to that.
.
This issue allowed me to play Eve how and when I liked.
It didnÆt matter what item or what happened in Eve. I spent ISK with out thinking about the price.
I havenÆt paid a cent for any of my Eve accounts for 4 years now.
And have had many amusing moments reading posts in EVE-O.

I donÆt know you and to be honest Eve and most of you I could care less about.
But my thanks go out to you all, you were wonderful statistics on this virtual stage.

Regards,

The Writer



I dont know but id like to hear from ccp internal investigations regarding any previous petitions in regards to this bug (if any) and why if such petitions did exist were they closed without the bug being fixed.
