Wow accusing players of violating EULA when it was a claim button that they put in the game and seemed to be working just like the rest of the claim buttons. This is just a **** move CCP, way to try to pass the buck to the players when you are the screw up.

I don't take it personally at all I just think it makes CCP look like a joke.
First of all if you read the referenced section of the EULA it was not broken in any way by any one.
Quote:You may not use your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play. You may not rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in any way to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or achieved in the Game.
No one used any of the listed items or did anything other than take part in a function of the game which they set forth by CCP. I would argue that a claim button which was put in place by CCP and accessible to everyone in the game could also be perceived as normal game play by any player.
There are no legal bases to cover as no one spent or lost any money and CCP simply reversed a bug which they caused.
This was just a case of someone being butt hurt over having to clean up a mess and venting it on the player base. That is a new low.

The way I see it, CCP should just have apologized for the inconvenience and removed the suit.
Instead of making accusations and threats of having violated the EULA.
This suit was made available through an in game progression by CCP, if anything ... instead of violations having been committed it would better be described as a solid case of ENTRAPMENT. |

Honestly the only thing I think CCP really cares about of this whole ordeal is the fact so many people got the suit for free and found out they hated it. They probably lost a lot of potential revenue of people dumb enough to want to buy the suit for Arum or grinding away factional battles (possibly with boosters).
It's like giving a test drive on a lemon and finding out the car leaks gas and explodes randomly. |

Please don't assume things or attitudes of people. It makes you look like a jerk. Think about the situation logically, people claimed an item that people have always payed money for in the past. The sudden influx of these items for free arguably devalues the purchase paying players made. There has never been a precedent of CCP giving items away like this in-game. Claiming of "Free Apex" suits were not talked about in the patch notes. And bugs do occur on patch day--I always recommend to people to be extra careful on what you trade on patch day.
CCP had the ability to see who pushed the redeem button and they could follow those item transfers. Yes, there was collateral damage of removing those suits, but they needed to be taken back. There are no free lunches here.

There was no need to use them to claim the items and they were only claimable once per account. What this means is even if someone did use them it did not give anything at an accelerated rate and therefore still did not violate this section.
If people were using multiple accounts then that is something different completely and should be addressed on those extra accounts not in a rage mail sent out to the entire population.

Don't take it as a personal accusation. It's a blanket statement, one that is much more cost/time effective to make rather than sending out personalized emails.

Fact is, macros and bots scripts exist for the PS3 and PC emulators. There is no ways to say 'beyond a shadow of doubt' as Maken put it that players wrote macros to quickly take advantage of the APEX redeem glitch.

I have no problem with them being taken back and I intentionally stayed away from selling these to people.
Actually your mention of collateral damage explains exactly what happened here. I have not spoken to anyone in game about it but I am assuming CCP did not bother reversing trades that were done for these so people are in fact out real money. This is even more of an issue as now CCP is referencing a point in the EULA that does not even apply to cover for the fact that they could not even clean up their mess in its entirety.
Here is what the message really reads: "Sorry you traded boosters and isk and paid suits for suits that we took away but you are screwed. We have deleted these suits to ensure people will give us as much money as possible but will not clean up totally behind ourselves."
Anyone that lost real items on this is 100% entitled to call Sony and get a refund as there was no violation of the EULA and CCP has now revoked the by product of the money that was spent.

Email made me feel like a bad person
I'm sorry, CCP, I promise I won't casually check out or use an incomplete new feature added to the game or play on patch day, and definitely not press any buttons in it
How to mass mail like a pro:
Quote:Dear players:
After the progression chart was deployed, we became aware of a bug where it was possible to claim 5 copies of the APEX 'Serpent' Scout dropsuit for free. This was not intended, and unfortunately these claimed APEX suits must be removed from the game. If you have a legitimately purchased APEX 'Serpent' Scout, it will not be affected.
According to our logs, your account has one or more of the illegitimate APEX suits and they have been removed from your inventory. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this bug. |

I wouldn't hold your breath to be honest. CCP has always had a soft spot for scammers and bad trades. Claiming it's part of the culture, now their just getting into the action I suppose.
That said we still haven't gotten any kind of reimbursement from the last 20hr or so server crash either and the Dev's have been awfully silent on the whole affair. Dev responses in general, at least official ones about the game have been pretty sparse of late. |

If people were using multiple accounts then that is something different completely and should be addressed on those extra accounts not in a rage mail sent out to the entire population. It's a bit more difficult to spot people using bots to run macros gathering items off multiple accounts and PS3s. Namely, it's pretty standard practice for botters to send a percentage of their gains to random accounts (implication collateral damage). It's done as a way to cause more headache for people investigating botters to discern good player from exploiters with the eventual goal of getting people that investigate exploits to simply give up.
The solution is to alter game mechanics that make it less lucrative to make farm bots in the first place. In Dust, we need to axe the passive item accrual of the Warbarge.

lol just an update btw but just got an in game email from a GM. They finally did the refund for the last down time, rather generous too. Though I'm sure some people got out ahead more than others depending on how much you had lost.
Far as I can tell I got 4 1 day active omega boosters and One 1 day amar booster. It's a bit hard given I wasn't 100% sure what I had before but I know I had no more faction boosters left. |

Eh it's already pretty bad if your not spending Arum on upgrading your farming accounts. Without doing pub matches for extra War barge rewards your looking at a long time to upgrade yours to the point where you get anything decent. 3-4 months at least to get to level 5 for the experimental labs, more if you want a half decent level in your WB production part too. Add to that you can't trade items or money till you hit rank 2, which is what 2-4k loyalty rank points? You get a whopping 5 points for logging in and maybe 1-5 from battles, if they actually work. Some times you can win a fight, earn over 3k wp and get no rank increase.
And if you are spending real money on your farming accounts to increase your rank faster, well CCP makes money at least.

What you're asking for is a lot more difficult to track and time intensive to rectify.
Under the current APEX suit removal process. [CCP Checks to see which account pressed the redeem button] > [determine location of APEX suit] > [Remove Item] > [Redeemed suit not on account] > [follow redeemed item tag] > [Remove Item]
Cross Checking ISK and Item exchanges player may have made for an APEX suit. [Same process as above] > [Employee must individually investigate ISK transfers or Item transfers and make a judgement call or contact players to determine if the progression tab redeemed APEX was traded for ISK, another item, or just gifted]
Cross checking, while a solution that would probably appease players, is not the optimal approach here with limited dev resources. The APEX removal script is the better path here, even with collateral damage involved.

Ultimately, the practice of large scale farming is not good for the health of the game. The only way to be relevant in industry and trading is to pay for equipment and unlocking accounts.
This is going to be even more of an issue once Chinese Gold farmers start coming on board with the console ban lifting. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=206339&find=unread
There is an RMT market for Dust. It's only going to expand if CCP doesn't address issues with passive item gains.

Yeah the easier it is to make an account and get full access to the game the worst the bot problem gets. I used to play a game called DC universe online and it had a huge problem at one time with Gold bots shouting out sales pitches in popular public places like the Watch Tower. |

We did violate EULA though. Being ignorant of the law isn't an excuse when you break it, though most people have a general sense of when they're doing something wrong (enforcement of more esoteric laws is usually lacking - for example where I live if I were arrested without charge, upon being released I could demand a horse, a rifle & bullets for it and a weeks worth of food & supplies... but that's never going to happen despite it being part of the law). Fortunately due to the scale, the fact that most people were NOT serious abusers of the apex, and that the error largely happened on their end - very few punishments were actually handed out over this.

No one used any of the listed items or did anything other than take part in a function of the game which they set forth by CCP. I would argue that a claim button which was put in place by CCP and accessible to everyone in the game could also be perceived as normal game play by any player. There are no legal bases to cover as no one spent or lost any money and CCP simply reversed a bug which they caused. This was just a case of someone being butt hurt over having to clean up a mess and venting it on the player base. That is a new low. The EULA wording is vague and broad. As a technicality even CLICKING on the claim button constitutes a "pattern of play that facilitated the acquisition of items / objects at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary gameplay", and trading them for isk certainly was an eula violation. Their game, Their EULA, their choice of what to enforce when and where.
What it comes down to is they are just using this as a reason to intentionally screw those who got caught in the cross fire of THEIR screw up because they have no ability and no desire to clean up behind them self. Dumping on people because they are worried about future sales on one suit is just plain bad business.
The people who unknowingly traded real money items for these suits are the real losers here. I very much encourage them to call and get their money back from Sony as CCP has very clearly said they do not give a flying F about them and their loss. I stayed away from selling or trading those suits to anyone cause I expected a bad fall out but there are no words for the move that CCP pulled here.

The havok caused by the sale of these bpos was not CCPs fault. No harm was done in any case unless you bought a serpent the first day. Again thats on the playerbase.

I am talking about the people such as one guy that I know who traded his bought and paid for apex suit for one of the free ones before he knew they were bugged. Now the guy that traded him has a free BPO from that trade that was paid for with cash and my friend has nothing. He never claimed those suits and did not know about it until much later in the day yet he is out $20 while the person who exploited it is laughing.

Then file a fuxing ticket, my god, are you that rtarded?
At some point in time, "your friend" will be reimbursed. it might not be today. It might not be this week, or hell even this month. But if you're not a shitweasling dickfart in your ticket, its going to get taken care of.

Actually your mention of collateral damage explains exactly what happened here. I have not spoken to anyone in game about it but I am assuming CCP did not bother reversing trades that were done for these so people are in fact out real money. This is even more of an issue as now CCP is referencing a point in the EULA that does not even apply to cover for the fact that they could not even clean up their mess in its entirety.
Here is what the message really reads: "Sorry you traded boosters and isk and paid suits for suits that we took away but you are screwed. We have deleted these suits to ensure people will give us as much money as possible but will not clean up totally behind ourselves."
Anyone that lost real items on this is 100% entitled to call Sony and get a refund as there was no violation of the EULA and CCP has now revoked the by product of the money that was spent.
What you're asking for is a lot more difficult to track and time intensive to rectify. Under the current APEX suit removal process.[CCP Checks to see which account pressed the redeem button] > [determine location of APEX suit] > [Remove Item] > [Redeemed suit not on account] > [follow redeemed item tag] > [Remove Item] Cross Checking ISK and Item exchanges player may have made for an APEX suit.[Same process as above] > [Employee must individually investigate ISK transfers or Item transfers and make a judgement call or contact players to determine if the progression tab redeemed APEX was traded for ISK, another item, or just gifted] Cross checking, while a solution that would probably appease players, is not the optimal approach here with limited dev resources. The APEX removal script is the better path here, even with collateral damage involved.
I do think that it would have been a bit more accurate to reverse all incoming ISK transfers from players who were marked having sent OUT an illegitimate suit during a reasonable timeframe after the trade. Unfortunately it seems that CCP either didn't consider that solution, or else didn't have the technical ability to effect it.
There's a line between claiming the things and using them and selling them. People selling them almost certainly had a clear idea that something was off, and at the very least knew they were selling an asset to other players that those players could have easily gotten through the same mechanism. In short: It's hard to imagine a situation where a seller was legitimate. If you were to lose money for other items that you sold during the time frame, you would entirely deserve what was coming to you.

This strikes me as deeply contrived. Why on earth would someone trade one asset for an identical copy of the same asset? Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if you made this up, and even if you didn't my sympathies would be limited. In the hypothetical example, "your friend" was either trying to make money out of the chaotic situation, or else so lackadaisical as not to merit much sympathy.

No he did not trade the same suit. As an example he traded an APEX assault for that APEX scout. His assault is now gone forever and so is the scout leaving him with nothing after having spent X amount of dollars while the person in question is sitting there with an assault that he paid nothing for.

The people who really got their teeth kicked in here is the ones who did NOT click the claim button. Otherwise they would not have been trading paid for items and millions of ISK for them.
Obviously you are way too fan boy to follow what an exploit is so I will just leave that conversation be.

The simple solution here which was actually fair to everyone would have been to reverse all transfers for that day. Sure it would have made some ISK problems but it would have actually protected the players from CCPs screw up and actually punished those who knowingly exploited this instead of rewarding them.
I really do not care either way as I ran those suits a couple of times and then forgot about them as it was obviously a glitch. Honestly at this point I am wishing I would have ripped some people off instead.

Dude, the simple solution is you filing a ticket and getting your issue resolved.
Having ccp reversing all transactions is far more complex then you're willing to admit and quite possibly going to eff things up so much more.
And we dont want that now do we?

AS I said I did not sell or purchase any of these suits and I do not care that my 5 are gone as I never should have had them.
Others are not so lucky and many of the unwilling participants in this do not even know how to file a ticket or that they should as they have now been accused of exploiting the game.
Im not sure you can screw things up more than costing people real money and then accusing them of exploiting the game when they did absolutely nothing wrong.

Honestly I think the thing I hate the most about the view on this bug is everyone thinks people knew about it. Unless you live on the forums, checking every little post you don't know. I didn't even know about the bug really until after it had been fixed. Day of I'm sure people clicked on it and got their scout without knowing why, it's not like how to use the new interface was really described in game at all.
People also assume that anyone who bought a serpent scout day 1 were looking for deals to good to be true, but I'm sure before the bug became wide spread there were more than a few people who paid full price for what they thought was a normal suit. I am glad to see the suits gone. It was a plague to see most new players running those things in pub and FW matches because it was the only Apex they had. That said I do think the solution left more than a few people hanging in the wind, and none of them the people who actually violated the rules (according to CCP at least). The people who abused the bug to get the suit profited via the money they made selling it while those who bought the item more than likely without using the same exploit get the shaft. |

He never claimed those suits and did not know about it until much later in the day yet he is out $20 while the person who exploited it is laughing.
So the bright side is your friend got a seminar on "How NOT to be a sucker" that only cost him $20! Hope he took the lesson to heart, because the next seminar will end up costing him much more than that... |

Honestly, what CCP could have done to make this less painful for the buyers of these "claimed" APEX suits is reverse the ISK/Item-for-Item transaction between the buyer and seller since CCP does have such records, and then remove the "claimed" APEX suits from the inventory. This way, the buyer who got the APEX from the player who "claimed" it will be refunded while the player who "claimed" it will either be negative ISK, lose the "claimed" APEX or both.

CCP give me back my money (50 kk isk, get it from claimer and give it back to me).
You read the log? So you see everythink. I was pay, he get money! You do realize that you couldn't trade it right? They had it disabled for trade and CCP isn't that stupid, so I don't think your going to get money from them.
No, i was buy it before they find a bug and disable trade. So, i was pay, i get dropsuit. Yesterday CCP told me, that i was CLAIM and remove it for my asset...

Whilst you can be relatively sure any ISK/item transaction conducted at the same time was in exchange for the scout, you can't be certain.

Well as much I would of loved to see something done about the potential loss due to trades there is another issue people might not consider. Simply put not everyone still has the money. Say you bought a suit for 20m, what if the guy you sold it too doesn't have that 20m any more? Would he go into negative isk? would money appear out of no where and you would receive the money but the seller wouldn't lose it? |

Quite right. You act like a mug you get treated like one. The problem is that according to CCP itGÇÿs somehow my fault. I didnGÇÿt do anything wrong. I recieved it through the game. I didnGÇÿt mod it, I didnGÇÿt tamper with the game in anyway and I didnGÇÿt knowingly trade it. so why am I being spoken to like that?
ItGÇÿs not how you treat your customers itGÇÿs disrespectful and rude. I have every right to be annoyed. |

There is a long history of people going negative when things are reversed.
All CCP had to do is reverse all trades incoming and outgoing for that day. The real exploiters who sold the suits and ripped people off would possibly go negative on ISK, officer weapons, and boosters but at least then the real exploiters are the ones being punished instead of unsuspecting people losing ISK and real items only to later be accused of being an exploiter when they did absolutely nothing wrong.

I just saw that the 'Serpent' APEX is going for 80-100 million ISK in certain trade channels.
One guy says he can't play without it, something about the suit matches his COD style of play.

Say pretty please, be calm and nice, and explain what happened.
You'll have much better luck with that then here on the forums.

A long history? It happened once in dust and it destroyed the economy. Plenty of people laundered the money through their corps and doubled their half billion.
I don't feel bad for the people who got screwed. You don't get to keep stolen property. Now if those people put in tickets, CCP might hook them up. But if they do, we won't hear about it because that breaks the EULA.
Did your "friends" submit tickets?

For sure the polish dude is the only one I empathize with. No forum section, but hopefully Google translate will do him a solid.
