Confirmed Trade Exploit; Trade with players for 0 isk

This is definately working in the current build (15/5/07).

Find a trade hub with a decent (100+) number of people in it, in order that there is a few seconds (4 - 5 is ideal) lag on actions. Do not pick Jita on a sunday evening; its tooo laggy.

Next, watch local, people will be advertising objects for sale regularly. Pay particular attention to the ones not in contract form. Make sure you are docked in the main 'hub' station for that system.

If you see something you would like being advertised, if a price has been named immediately open a trade window with that char (who should also be in your station) with the correct amount of isk in it. The SECOND he places the item in his part of the window, edit the isk amount to 0 and press accept. (You may need to convo him to find out price etc)

Because of lag and lack of any checking-code, he will, for 4-5 seconds at least, not see what you have done and click accept, thereby giving you the item for free.

I would have to say NAY to this, its posted all over the official EvE forums and has been confirmed by the GMs NOT to be an exploit, but they also say they are looking into it, so its one to be very careful of using.
