Not even bothering reading your post from this point on, because you're wrong at point two.
*I* thought of the potential for the bug. And when I thought of it, I was sat in a Gunnlogi, not exactly prime TKing material. We were at less than 1k WP.
We finished that match and went to work. We successfully pulled it off. We successfully replicated. We reported it.
No need for tin foil hat theories, you can admit we're the good guys, and play the game within it's intended parameters.
Like I said before, if we wanted to, we could have held onto this for a week or so and stomped the living hell out of corp matches. The method was VERY convoluted, and I doubt CCP would have found it in the 48 hours it took for them to patch it if we hadn't told them straight away. They probably would have had to gut the OB system and start over, but our honesty led them straight to the cause of the problem.

But you're not really reporting a bug... you're reporting a player for using a bug. Stop begging for asspats dude, be glad you were there to see one of the most dangerous bugs in action.
Thing about bugs is they have to be used to see if they work. Otherwise it's just an idea of a bug that might be there.
I'll reiterate, we could have used this to death, and it would have been very unlikely that anyone would have caught on how we were doing it. Instead, we used it a couple of times to verify it's existence, then a couple of times in orchestrated consentual corp matches to record it for CCP to see in action. |

I read this as a document of what actually happend.
But his theory is so flawed, it hurts.
OK, I'll help you out....
He says we found the bug because we were teamkilling. Well, to drop an OB, and get the bug to work, you needed 2500wp. If we had that many WPs by the time you need them to pull the bug off, we were playing properly. Why would we start TKing EXACTLY at the moment we went just over 2500WP rather than dropping the orbital on some fools?
Flawed so hard it hurts. No one would go "hey, we got an orbital, let's go TK some redliner fools!!"
Sure, knowledge of the fact that TKing by grenade docks off 50 points from your total resulted in theorising that using that to dip under and over the 2500 threshold would produce the effect it did, but it was in no way "accidental". |

If we got "caught", why did CCP give us a really cool reward for finding the bug and reporting it straight away?
The response to this thread is funny. It's so obvious that people are jealous they didn't find the bug. The envy is so thick in here, you'd need a surgical scalpel to cut it. |

The problem is, we couldn't go public on the bug till after it was fixed, or everyone would have been trying to replicate it. We didn't want the game to descend each match into a race to 2500 WP, and the first past the post got to rule the match thereafter. If CCP hadn't been able to fix it so quickly, OBs probably would have had to be switched off.
Posting about it on the forums before it's fixed on anyone's part is really stupid. It lets everyone know there's a bug. including the ones who would abuse it. If you see a bug in action, report it and stay quiet. |

It was me, so thanks! |

I'm actually getting irritated by the Dust uni people in here, which is sad because I'm Ex EUni when I played Eve a few years back, and have very little bad to say about them. I also joined on recommendation from a goon in the absence of me having an active forum account to join GF. I spent a lot of time after leaving for other things in the help channel helping out newbies.
Dust Uni seems to be a bunch of self entitled brats. It's sort of heartbreaking to see EUni's name being spoiled in my eyes by there paranoid posts and crying. From what I remember there was a zero tol policy on this sort of nonsense in EUni, and being like this got you the boot faster than piracy. |
