JITA — In a devastating display of market inefficiency that has left Alliance commanders scrambling and Market CEOs counting their ISK, a lone capsuleer has inadvertently armed what experts are calling the most well-equipped enemy fleet in New Eden history.
The incident occurred when pilot Derien Korrigan, attempting to purchase 1,000 missiles for an upcoming operation, accidentally purchased 1,000 missile launchers from a JITA sell order at significantly below market value.
I just wanted to stock up on ammunition, Korrigan stated in local chat before going AFK. How was I supposed to know the launcher BPO was priced at 50 ISK?
Within hours, the entire WinterCo defensive fleet was spotted sporting brand-new, shiny launchers, with pilots reporting that their DPS had basically doubled and expressing confusion about the sudden gift from the sky.
CCP Games has yet to issue a statement, though sources close to the developer indicate they are looking into whether this constitutes a balanced gameplay interaction.
Meanwhile, Goonswarm leadership has reportedly placed a bulk order for accidentally dropped T2 rigs in enemy territory.
