CCP revealed that five players in Eve Online used an exploit in the new faction warfare mechanics (dictated by manipulating market forces) to amass $175,000-worth of ISK. They reported it themselves to CCP, who have since fixed the glitch.
“The people who sought to benefit from this exploit will receive no gain from this system. Because this was essentially a system where you could print LP, even if ISK was provided as an input, it is classified as an exploit,” said Sreegs at CCP. “Because the players made efforts to inform us about the issue their accounts will remain in good standing. We have temporarily seized all LP points and store items from them. Once we’re done determining how much each person has benefited we will remove the LP gained value in LP and items and return the ISK invested in the purchase of items to them. This essentially will set each of them back to the original point at which they began this activity.”
