Comment on EVE players abuse faction warfare to produce trillions of ISK

Comments

Just to be clear they didn't exploit a bug, this was the result of poor design from CCP. They didn't understand the implications of changes they made in their latest expansion and these guys took advantage of it.

This thread outlines the details of what they did https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=1241...

O it was a bug, and they patched it.

A bug is when you have the correct design wrongly implemented.

This is the opposite.

You can have design bugs, too.

They patched the ability to make ISK in this way but everything these players did were within the rules of the game.
