I just don't understand. When we (corp) logged on and noticed that we had excess funds we
went through our assets, skills, the marketplace etc. to see what had changed. We couldn't
find anything and figured there's an issue. So we just let the isk sit. It took us two or three
minutes to go through everything. How hard is that? Now people are complaining because
they tried living beyond their means with money they didn't have? I just don't understand.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there an economist on staff at CCP? And isn't there a plan
to intigrate the Eve and Dust economies? How would that excess isk impact that move?
Especially since that move doesn't happen without them having an accurate picture of how
the Dust economy works. A little bit of forward thinking goes a long way. If we want the two
economies merged as soon as possible we shouldn't have a problem with CCP taking the isk back.
My 0.02 isk. |

@SuperKing
Never played Eve but I've been eyeballing it for a few years. That's why I'm here now.
A little bit of inflation going on up top?
Still, I just don't understand, yeah it's a game and it's not real money but it still feels like theft
to me. But that might just be the roleplayer in me talking. Or the stubborn indipendant
individualist in me... I'm not sure. Either way, my guys weren't effected because it was suspect
to begin with to us... To say we didn't have a little discussion how to keep it would be a lie, but
it was all just messing around and having a good time... It IS just a game on our end after all... |

We didn't try and keep it, we just talked about ways to do it. But because we couldn't find a
reason for it to be, either in game or on the forums at that time, we let it be.
But it was a fun little discussion with shell companies and all that. We had a good laugh.
Someone mentioned all the qq'ing that would happen if people spent all the extra isk and
then CCP came in and took it all back... That had us laughing more. That was roughly 0830 CST... |

The thing with your analogy is that if I found a briefcase full of money I know for sure that the money is not mine, but what really happened is CCP ACCIDENTLYgive you a briefcase full of money that you put in the bank to paid your bills, then CCP is like crap I just made all my calculations wrong so they hack into your bank account and subtract all the money they give you and then the bank say "well now you owe us 100000 ISK" how is that even fair?
Fixed it for you.
It's no different than a bank error. You think the bank isn't going to take its money back?
What you are saying is that you knew the extra money in your account wasn't yours and
you spent it anyway. In case you missed it, CCP is the bank here.
Just consider this isk issue a loan from the bank, you were always going to have to pay it
back somehow anyway. Be glad there's no interest on the loan.
And it's not like it was Aurum. That's a completely different issue with real world implications.
Breathe people. It's fake money... in a game. |
