Just to point out this would have allowed you 750k UU, 700bil and 12k turns for 1 cent.
I think admin has it now so that you dont get the goods till he checks the payment.
Was this how blackseal and stars did it?
This can be done easily with a download off firefix btw.

*Wonders how many people are trying this right now*

[Whyte]

It looks suspect to me...

It means there for 50$ you get

20$ (for 700,000,000,000 naq)
+15$ (for 750,000 uu)
+15$ (for 12,000 turns)
____________________
=50$ (for 700bil naq; 750k uu, and 12 ATs)

NOT 0.01$!!!

It's suspect and I'd not try to get it if I were you
People who (voluntarly?) change the cost of the trade between details and amount to pay aren't safe trades and you would get bad suprise(s) if you tried to get it.

Or maybe it means you get 1/5000 of the total amount, does it mean it's (1/5000)*(700bil+750k uu+12k ATs)?
So you'd get to pay something like 0.003$ for uu and ATs and 0.004$ for naq, which aren't existing amounts of cash. Anyway with this you would get 140,000,000 naq; 150 uu and 2.4 ATs, considering it would be the trade divided by 5000 amounts of 0.01$, which is very much doubtful and is most likely an error!

That was confusing, Jim.

As for how to reproduce said error.. doesn't seem to be too complicated (if I observed correctly). I sincerely hope it'll be resolved soon.

Well I believed it could be either some manipulating of the prices, and get ressources for free, but expect some bad things in return, or it's something like 1/5000 of above traded goods (50$/5000=.01$)...I believe "unfortunately", it's the first and that's how people got ressources for "free" in this game. If you buy 50$ of the /5000 price (.01$ trades, spend 50$ on it) it would mean you just bought 250,000$ worth of ressources for 50$ only, but then where would ressources come from...?
As I suppose this deal wasn't coming from other trades but game itself, so it must have created "false unexisting" ressources like if during the naquadah bug you'd sold the quadrillions of naq at normal rate and then obtained tons of cash off people (if it wasn't found out and if there was enough stupid ppl to buy for that much).
This little trick could make people become millionaire in no time so better watch out VERY carefully the strange sellers with crazy-always available ressources to sell as it's dirty ones. As it could make this game fall down quickly.

Well if that is a cheat/bug/hack whatever, and people are using it now, and have been using it before to get massive amounts of resources for nothing, and possible selling them on to others for higher prices, it should be an instant BAN, none of this i didn't know BS that alot use, just ban the people who have/are/are trying/creating this problem, at least someone posted this to make admin aware of it good job on that.

Agreed there, if it's ressources coming from the game (so not limitated like when off a player), considering if these people spent only 10 cents on it, it would have equalled to 500$ worth of ressources. Imagine the benefits here! Just unacceptable!
Spend 10 cents get 499.90$ for free!

Just to point out if you did do this you would get that screen then you would log into paypal and it WOULD charge you $0.01 the 50$ usd is merely a description of the trade from the merchant.

Also I just told Mystake this method as he wanted to inforum forum (in forum chats tonight i presume)
So ill tell all of you incase mystake is for some reason unable to.

So:
Basically you would go to black market get what you wanted then you would turn on tamper data and click confirm.
Then when it prompts you to you would look for the value nextto 'Amount' and change it from $50 to $0.01
You also alter shipping from 1 to 0.
Press ok on your tamper data window, Paypal loads you log in and pay the cent and theres your resources.
