But thats puts you in the same situation, even more so since the people with more SP are usually the same people who will build up the isk advantage.

so,,,, what about the whole...


"Cheating of any sort, including exploitation, sabotage, etc., will result in all members of the cheating team being banned from both DUST 514 and EVE Online-«."


rule???

I'm not suggesting anyone should be in trouble for this,,, but those of you who did it (and abused it) are incredibly brave doing it so close to the tournament! (especially risking the entire team!)

Every corp gets a billion isk at beginning of tournament. We play for bragging and recruiting rights.


Everyone that logs in and plays during tournament days gets all the goodies.

Let's face it we all want that lav.

Our whole corp did it! We had no idea it was even against the rules, but after the dev's posted that it wasn't we stopped, i still got like a billion isk in my wallet..

like i said,,, brave finding a potential 'exploit' to fund yourselves a massive stock of whatever in time for the tournament..... at least your all in it together!

@Dias Bailey

Without a market there can be no inflation as a consequence of the sudden influx of cash. Prices are set, there is no exchange of goods between players. All ISK currently in DUST is created from thin air at the end of each match. There is no supply and demand. There is no scarcity. There is no economy. Your wallet balance in DUST is nothing more than your score on Pac-man.
What has happened here provides no valuable data for study and simply allows certain players to purchase more stuff than others.

Not getting in to ethics or morality with you, just pointing out there is nothing to be learned from this at all except for CCP not catching this ahead of time. Each player is completely isolated financially from every other player.

PS: Props for working Gaussian in to a post of a video game forum. It's interesting the types on players EVE attracts.

lol you just don't want to go back to being poor

It's not my ISK.. I uhh, I'm just holding on to it. For a friend.

So do all of these corporations get an automatic disqualification from the tourney for using an exploit? Or will they all just get banned post tourney for using weapons bought with laundered ISK?

Was this some kind of test? I am pretty sure my corp. Osmon Surveillance, is in the clear... Now if only our fearless leader would enter us. We have tons of members.

my focus was in studying how quantify evolutionary processes, via thermodynamic representation. eve, and now dust's group dynamics was a huge influence in determining just how evolution works at a fundamental level.

You all saw it as an opportunity to gain an advantage in the tourney and you all would have kept it secret until caught. It wasnGÇÖt tell some GÇ£Lameo spilled the beans to help others do it and now your like GÇ£I didnGÇÖt mean to.GÇ¥ YES YOU DID!
You should be held out of the tournament for it

you are all acting like it was an illegal thing to do

blatant exploit of a flawed mechanism....

not saying a banworthy offence,,, just saying is brave to risk it having been,,,,,, more questioning most peoples sanity if this tournaments so important

I like to consider myself pretty smart...and I have to say there is no way that sentence has any meaning whatsoever.

LOL no one knew it was a flawed mechanic

We will obviously see ISK flow between the games at some point but there are 2 important reasons why we want to lock it down for now:
- ISK on SiSi is meaningless for EVE players because it is their test server not the live server
- We need to make sure everything is economically stable first and then ease the flow in or risk unbalancing one of the games. At this stage, the dust economy is still finding its feet so we are not ready for that yet.

we agree more than you think. the exception may be that i believe there is always information to be gained and analyzed.

irl i have a degree in applied mathematics. my focus was in studying how quantify evolutionary processes, via thermodynamic representation. eve, and now dust's group dynamics was a huge influence in determining just how evolution works at a fundamental level.

- We need to make sure everything is economically stable first and then ease the flow in or risk unbalancing one of the games. At this stage, the dust economy is still finding its feet so we are not ready for that yet.

-There is NO Dust economy. We cannot sell. We cannot trade. Therefore, there is no economy.

but my point is,,, it obviously is a flawed mechanic if you look at current pricing within dust....

you're kidding me if part of you didnt think youd hit gold.... being able to buy more than you ever could have dreamt of before....


this is a flawed mechanism

LOL at those who are taunting ccp with " well I already spent my 20-50 mil and am good til wipe , so nah nah nah you can't touch me".... just as easily as they can wipe a wallet, they can wipe assets, and when you taunt them they can make it a pretty sad day for you. Ask some of the bots or rmt guys that got to stick in the game after thinking they could get away with it instead of a ban lol. Huge red wallets , no assets, can't use market.. fun game
