Ok...where to start....Oh nevermind

Everyone and their grandmother knows about this big mess up. OOO make an ultimate mistake, players 'abuse' and exploit this mistake and now OOO are taking action. But! They haven't come out and made an official statement on it, leaving many players scared and confused. We hear of people getting warnings and bans for reasons I think safe not to discuss due to TOS.

So instead of adding another clone 'I own Prismatic Bolted Vee's' mail to OOO inbox I decided to make this thread for everyone to leave a comment, stating they have Vee's and wish OOO to remove some or all or what ever action OOO take. Be honest.

I had over a 100 but now have 20. OOO removed them. I got them all from some random in game players.

Whimsicality

I had over 12,000 from the result of my friends being ever so generous with their hordes of millions. OOO left me with 20.

In all honesty? I wish they just left me with 0. Because I still feel dirty holding onto these. I'll probably forget about them later on, but it's a generous gesture that OOO is being lenient to those who fessed up, as ham-fisted as the bans for those who abused the bug went.

But enough of this, we have Devilites to slay!

@ Exerpa

I take back what I said. Didn't see that. Thanks for making me aware. In all this Tortodone excitement I overlooked it. But sadly due to increase work I can't play this event. Hopefully it comes back again this summer :)

So unfair

Wow. So I spent like 60kcr buying them from ah cause I didn't exploit it by going depot and getting them for free when that happened and now from 1990 I have 20 left? That's a unfair regarding the fact that I actually bought them with hard earned cr..

@ Bajilliom

You do realise 1990 Prismatic Bolted Vee's bought from the supply depot for 750ce each would have cost you 104475000cr. Don't complain.

@Arcknightdelta

Regardless of the fact, it was bought off the ah with honest earned money.

@ Bajilliom

Honest earned money that you used to buy something that you fully knew was not supposed to be priced that low because of an exploit.

Oh my god I can't believe I spent 2.5k CR on the AH to get 250 Vees and then OOO just takes them from me ◔_◔

Well, you can buy up the AH

Well, you can buy up the AH stock on speculation that they will appreciate in value..

Not a good idea. I heard that by buying off the AH the person selling gets a ban and you get a warning. How true that is I don't know. But things like are flying around haven. Chinese whispers maybe?

Best to not buy any. Defeats the purpose of OOO reducing your vee count to 20 then.

I had none and now I have

I had none and now I have 11... since guildees heard I wasn't active during the week it took place and mass mailed me some. :p Guildees are amazingly like that. Gotta love EoS.

As for people buying them off the AH... in the real world knowingly buying items gotten through illegal means is a prosecutable offense, whether the money you used to buy the items in question was gotten through legal means or not. All you have to do is look on the AH, see 69 pages of PBVs at stupidly low prices, some with insane amounts bundled together to know something is not right. Prismatics are not cheap, you may find one on the AH that was mispriced from time to time, but hundred to thousands? I think not.

Whether the people that bought them off the AH wish to admit it or not, they knew it was a bug exploit that got them, and they knew there would be repercussions. That they are complaining now about warnings, temp bans, and (in a few cases that I have heard about personally) perma bans when they knowingly massively exploited (whether directly or indirectly) is no ones fault but their own.

Moral of the story: DON'T DO STUPID (stuff) (Yea, I'm gonna get a warning for cursing probably.)
