A Bug which has been used for over a year
Posted: Sun Dec 16, 2007 4:45 am
I will now tell you a story, i will not mention names, as it is not right because i can not prove anything, it is up to admin to prove this.
Well over a year ago, before the CIA war i was made aware, by way of info recieved, of a possible bug being used. I was given a few facts, some name's & how it was being done to a certain degree.
This use of a bug, only confirmed what alot of us in the game had beeen thinking, things were being done that should not be happening.
so i put my feelers out to gather more info, what i was getting back over the next few weeks was all the same, naq/uu were being created, satilite accounts were formed & these accounts were used to carry out these actions further. The uu that was either bought from created naq or created straight was then sent to random inactive acounts & raided, but they were sent to lots, so it looked like normal raiding but with v/high returns.
Most of you can work out what was going on, weapons, bigger defences, fleets, ms, etc etc
Now the who, all my info pointed to two alliance's, which was backed up by massive stats increase in both (but by only certain members).But i will say that over the time period i am talking about people in these alliance surly would have become suspicious?
All this info i passed on to senior mods & admin as i got more. But i was unable to work out how it was being done. I had the mechanics, but could not get it to work, until yesterday.
Admin i surpose never found anything or dismissed it because i could not show how it was being done & having found out the how, i can properly understand.
I have also been told that ascension has been corrupted by this bug, what i have been told is that double ascensions have been done, ie 2 ascensions done for the price of one, twice the points half the losses, twice the bonus's etc. I can not check out this because i am not going to ascend but by how the bug works i fully expect this will be found to be the case.
To further add to what i was finding out, many would not see this because only a certain amount of people would understand, is this.
Coming up to & since my first becoming aware of this bug, i was becoming aware & so were others of people selling alot of naq/uu for very cheap prices. one instance price of naq was $30 per trill, but in a convo, i was tolf that they were getting their naq for $10 & loads of it, well i can understand $25 or even $20 (but that would have been a crazy price) but $10 din't make sence. (yes i asked for names, but was told the person selling had told them not to tell anyone).I have had many such convo's since
I asked around all the big naq producer's, no one was or would sell for that amount, they could not keep up with the demand. being one of the largets producers i have to fully agree.
This points to again only one answer added to this the ones selling uu & naq never lost their army size.
since i told people about my find yesterday, i find it strange that i got a message from a player, shall we just say it said tick tock, when i asked what they meant by this, i got no answer?
but don't you find it strange that i recieve a message like this on the day i discover this bug & tell people about it
now i know that this may smear some inncent people & fingers will be pointed, but i feel it needs to go into the forums now.
