This is straight not true. I live in a section of Null space with 4 systems. I am pretty much the only person that uses these 4 systems. the ocational escalation runner is all that goes through. for 12 months, i kept the BRM between 120 and 150 in these 4 systems, never taking more then 300-400Mil per day per system. (because over 500Mil in a day is where it seems to start losing BRM) we have the ocational PVP ship loss as well due to ESS robbers and fights, and me being stupid with ships and leaving them on gates for rats to kill etc. Military Index (ADM) in each of these systems sits between level 2 and level 4, rarely goes to level 5. I havn’t changed my behaviour in these systems in over 12 months. even if the system was broken for 3 months my behaviours havn’t changed, behaviours that kept the BRM above 120% all the time. i have 9 months of data to say that i shouldn’t have tanked the system, yet i logged in last night (my time) to see it at 50%, one went from 149.5% to 55%. the ONLY explaination for any of this, is that it stored up all the time it was broken, then told the BRM calculator that i had earned 3 months (or whatever the broken period is) in 1 day. so it tanked the BRM.
Sure there may have been some people that realised the ADM’s were stuck and abused it. But the rest of us shouldn’t be punished (getting 70-95% less bounties for the same effort) because of a bug from CCP.
This Bug has Punsihed me for NOT abusing the fact that it had been frozen for a while.
