NOTICE: Regarding Pennsylvania Zoner Pilots Exploit

[Semir Gerkhan]

Explanation of how the economy currently works.

Indeed, it wasn't brief. But only because giving an understandable explanation of how the new system works requires a bit of length. As far as I'm concerned, I appreciate it very much.


Regarding the main topic of this thread, I don't think it's right that the staff simply remove ships and POBs from the players involved, as the exploit came from a staff error. As much as we all make our personal considerations about whether all, some, or none of those who took advantage of it, did so knowing that it was wrong, we really can't know for sure. Someone innocent could get damaged, and that's not acceptable from my pov.

However, the reallity here is that the staff hasn't acted like that. Quite the contrary, they've addressed the situation by reporting what happened directly to the community, and giving those who took illegal advantage the option to return it without consequences.

The mistake was theirs, yes, but human beings make mistakes, and being part of the staff doesn't make them infallible. No one is infallible.

Honestly, I cannot think of a more correct way to have handled this situation.
