DAMN!!

This is why when it came time to choose between firefall beta and EVE, I chose firefall. To quote the immortal ben crowshaw "the people who play eve are to nerds what nerds are to regular people."

Damn, that sounds aggravating.

these guys makes me proud...some folks actually picked up a few technique's..lol...

So whats the point of EVE online?

This game (and its players) never ceases to amaze me. Just the fact that someone could take such advantage of the game's market like that is really a testament to the amazing design. Yeah, it was a flaw in the game, but still amazing.

This is not the first time I have heard less than savory things about this game. It seems to have quite a bad reputation.

This is why I don't play EVE.

I tried the demo/trial version of EVE expecting a "Freelancer" mmo. It was not that and the games learning curve is such that it's almost impossible for new players to succeed. I don't really understand the appeal of this game but then again I don't get facebook games either. This game seems more like a job than a real job.

Hope its in dust

What a shock. Gamers ruining the experience for everyone else simply because they can! Shocker! These are the types of people so desperate for attention, so desperate for people to pay attention to them, that they are willing to make everyone else's life hell in order to get what they want.

These are the same people that have reality shows. These are the same people who drive motorcycles around quite towns. These are...well, Republicans. It must be! I just figured it out, these guys must be the Republican party! Think about it. They found loopholes that allowed them to make the poor poorer and the rich richer. They fought in order to take control of the entire economy, and when they got control, they tanked it in order to make sure the less off knew who was in control. They essentially just did exactly what the Bush administration did before Obama got into office. They tanked the economy.

The only difference here is that they are actually admitting what they did, unlike the Republicans who are pointing the finger at Obama and blaming it on him...Even though, ya know, Obama wasn't president when the Bush admin tanked the economy. They are only interested in themselves and making money, just like Republicans.....But hey, it's just a game, right?

Hey kudos to them for working the market in their favor. If I read that right they sold stuff for crazy low prices? If so how is that any different than when I used to do that on WoW? I used to piss people off for fun and sell high level, high money stuff for next to nothing just to drive prices down =)

lucrative....

EVE is just incredible! No matter how much this sucks for the affected players, you have to admire the freedom that CCP has given its fanbase.

My brother has a computer genius friend who has done things similar to this on several occasions, breaking the entire game and making a profit at the exact same time. Because of the nature of EVE's economy, scams like this can be pulled off without too much trouble if you hoard enough money through various methods.

Sad that those kinds of people ruin a good thing for everyone. Also, English please.

That's a lot of money...

I love this game. Also, Raven fleet ftw.

Amazing. I remember hearing about a dude that spent years implanting himself into some in-game financial corp., like a bank or something, and finally made it to, I can't remember if it's treasury or CEO... the point is, after years of building trust and being elected to run the financial institution, he stole EVERYTHING and cashed out. I think the in-game currency amounted to something akin to $75K.
