Right so then with that same logic I should get my 137 million ISK back.

I mean CCP F-ed up right?

So I should keep my 137 Million ISK and anyone who was negative should HTFU.

Oh but it does. You see when I get killed by someone proto ( who wasn't proto b4 the mistake) I am being punished. Now if @there was an actual matchmaking system then I would tend to agree with you about it not being a punishment ( with reservations regarding the unfairness of it)

But without a matchmaking system we are definitely being punished because these people wouldn't be running proto if not for the "free" isk

Honestly anyone arguing against this point of view is either

1 Stupid
2 a troll
3 one of the isk abuser
4 all of the above

You be tripping. CCP failed hard at math, and the majority lost more money then they "illicitly" gained.

That's a completely different problem.

If i have 3 mill, gain another 3 mill, then lose 9 mill and then get set at 0, then I still lost 3 mill.

Stop using 1 problem to justify another, nothing has been fixed. And the people who did lose mopre than they gained should file a petition.

You are being punished for your lack of skill. I have no qualms about 1 on 1 fights with any suit in standard gear (no passives) and find it enjoyable to find ways to win. Honestly the protobears are the easy ones to bag since they tend to stupidly charge into the open.

Petition is an unacceptable fix. All of this was done with nary a whisper on the forums, and a totally missable popup (I never saw one for example, and I was in the "know" looking for one). People who don't know why this happened to them, probably would simply walk away from the game, and that is worse than your tears over not getting free ISK just because someone else did.

I will gladly err on the side of positive error when it comes to an entertainment medium.

So option 4 for you then?

So option 4 for you then?

Then they should have visited the bugs section of the forums and reported missing ISK, being ignorant isn't a valid excuse, and never has been. If they want quit over a bug then that's fine.


So you're fine with glitches so long as they benefit you? That's called exploiting and is punishable. You've also rendered your opinion on the subject worthless.

CCP erred here. There was no exploiting and malicious intent should require proof not assumption. Especially when CCP failed so hard at math. If monopoly money makes you happy I implore you to petition away. I'm not even bothering since the voiceless players were rectified of dealing with the consequences of CCP's fail.

Nothing has been rectified. And your an idiot if you think it has. People who lost ISK unfairly still lost ISK, people who spent what they shouldn't have are now making a profit.

And yes anyone who spent enough ISK to put them in the red knew something was going on and failed to report it, that is exploiting the system.

If you are just going to ignore that a sizeable number, and in my admittedly insufficient sample size of around 100 the actual majority, of people affected did not spend this is in any fashion and yet were sent to negative anyway, then you truly are unworthy of treating as a true sapient.

Dear players, at 11:00 UTC on the 28th of May, an issue occurred where some players were credited with ISK. As this ISK was an unintended error it was removed from the game as of 11:00 UTC on the 30th of May.

As a result of this issue a number of characters entered negative ISK balance due to over-spending. As a temporary measure we have now taken steps to revert affected characters back to 0 ISK in order to allow them to continue playing as normal

In the meantime we are working on a system to reclaim ISK from over-spending that will review player purchases and corp donation histories on a case by case basis in order to fairly correct each characters ISK wallet and assets as soon as possible.

While it may take some time to apply these changes we will contact affected users once we have rebalanced their ISK status to let them know that there should be no further adjustments.

As always players are welcome to contact CCP via our support system with any concerns they may have.

I wasn't going to dignify another fail survey but since you asked your lack of a "Superior Intellect to my whining" was missing, removing the most appropriate answer.

This is all fine and dandy but in the mean time they can use all the assets that they acquired.
