It's their own damn mistake really. They obviously knew the money wasn't supposed to be there, so they started spending it. It's the same as in the bank world. You can't just run off with money that has been deposited on your account by mistake. It's a crime and you'll get punished if you abuse the mistake.
Hence why CCP doesn't care. I've been quite easy on it and did like I always did. Resulting in getting my old balance back.

All the whiners should go sit in a corner, think about their mistake and come back when they've learned that New Eden is a harsh world and I like it. I'm the reaper of tears! Pirate

CCP gave me a few couple hundred million. However I knew it wasn't mine and that CCP would be correcting the mistake. People tried to cheat and got punished. They deserve to stay in the red and rock militia gear for a while.

They won't be in militia gear they still have the stuff they spent all that ISK on.

Apparently some mistake happen where people got more ISK and CCP stated don't spend it, they will be taking it back. If spent you will go to negative balance. Some people decided to do this and pull the publicity stunt today in hopes to get away with it. I hope CCP stays strong and punishes the people who tried to cheat.

DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 3361	Posted - 2013.05.30 17:42:00 - [10] - Quote I actually was under the impression that my ISK had been refunded, as my email stated it would be, and my ISK was brought back to around Uprising amounts. I already had my build pre planned out and calculated, I set up my build and bought 100 of each of my suits within the first 10-15 minutes after logging in. Honestly I don't care what they do. Either they axe my purchases and I just watch my spending, or they don't, and I just play the game without worrying about the markeplace for a month or two I'm happy either way.

I think a lot of people are hit by it and most new players don't know what's up. They don't know how CCP operates and they are just PS3 players who are just trying to play a free game. Just help out the noobs 1 more time!

Your right but playing a game with no reward is rather boring and they are already behind the protobears and DTAR crowd.

And yes I did fail to kill you up there with my militia shotgun, but what can I say, hit detection lolbro

So they will use the proto gear, losing several hundred thousand ISK worth per match because they are scrubs. Then they will still be in the negative with no choice but to run MLT gear until they can once again afford to lose more proto gear. This to me is even funnier! EDIT: Make them pay for their greed. If I were CCP I wouldn't even offer them the option of selling back their ill acquired assets.

It was obviously a mistake so I didn't spend it and today it has gone. If anyone spent it and is now negative, just consider it an interest free loan - thats always good business.

However there are also those who spent none of that money and are now in the red. That is the bigger problem. I expect to find that I will be -millions of isk despite the fact that before the isk problem I had 240 mill isk and I spent none of the additional isk CCP mistakenly gave.

I know reading might be a hard concept for some, but since you manage to make a coherent sentence, reading shouldn't be a problem so you might wanna read the OP, and comment after. Unless this was a troll...then all it did was make you look like you need to L2R.

In a situation like this I can understand and sympathize. All one could do is submit a support ticket, and CCP would most assuredly audit your account for mistakes in your wallet transactions. Fortunately My ISK is right where it should be now after the removal of about 85 mil. Bugged ISK
