EvE Online Starbase Exploit

[Helnurath]

Anyone know which corporations got banned for it? I heard it was across 80 characters and 173 starbases were destroyed.

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

Dunno...Quite a few people have been. Don't really care though as it hasn't affected my corp whatsoever. I still like watching POS's go boom though

 

[Dommyboy]

Could you point out what it is exactly? I am quite intrigued now.

 

[Incompl te]

i don't play EVE but this intrigues me. Could someone explain what the incident actually was?

Player owned stations outfitted with reactors are required to bui;d Tech level 2 parts. People discovered that they could put the raw materials in and take them out and the reactor would still put out the finished product. This made T2 prices drop like Rocks in the ocean.

CCP found out one guy was doing it so to save his ass he ratted out as many people as possible. Of course CCP banned him too.

So now T2 prices will rise and CCP will try to compensate by forcing price drops on them. Fucking up the market. The market was actually quite stable with this exploit and now it is fucked up

Why should people get punished for exploiting a failure by the makers of the game?

TOS and EULA. Exploits = Bannage

TOS and EULA. Exploits = Bannage

I cant understand or accept that, but being somone who does not play MMOG, i suppose i never will.

So you are thinking that....Agreeing not to do something "illegal" under the games laws but doing it anyway isn't bad?

That's basically like Hacking Counter Strike.

That game has quite the community. Well I hope the game economy gets fixed up soon.

Like a real economy (Face it, It is. All player Run unless something like this happens) It will balance out eventually. All I know is my T2 cargo Expanders are gonna shoot through the roof. Fuck.

Theres a difference between exploitation and outright cheating. If there was a bug that littered the galaxy with high grade ships on sale for free would you ban anyone who bought one? In my view theres a massive difference to a unfair advantage purposly created by a player, and an unfair advantage that comes as a result of a bug. Both should be ironed out - yes, but banning people for the latter is not exactly justice in my opinion.

It is effectivley cheating. They were making so much money off it, messing up what the economy used to be.

I heard they had 4 titans between them all, and individual players could afford them.

probably a falsehood there. CCP would have caught on way before that happens.

 

[Helnurath]

My corp wasn't affected as we are a legit pirate operation, I dont know if any of our NAP guys were affected, but probably not.

Probably just a rumor, but I from what I understand they had well into the trillions of ISK.
