There's a farmer corp doing this in placid, in the minmatar faction. They cycle corps every week so they can kill their own faction warfare members at plex control points so they get all the LP. They line up dummy corporations in advance, ready to switch their 20+ farmers into each week. Enabling them to kill their own faction without destroying their standing and being kicked from FW. Only the dummy corp loses standings, which they throw away after a week.

This is no different than recycling characters to do suicide ganking. Why should such major abuse of the system be allowed? This is major abuse of the standing loss system in place to prevent FW players from ganking their own members. The standing penalty for doing so is severe, but it is being completely negated through recycling dummy corporations.

Their present corp name is "bag Eriker Corporation 3" and they appear to be a farmer corp of eastern descent.

Then petition it as an exploit, make your case to them and see what CCP says.

At least it's encouraging PvP. If you don't like it, form a fleet and force them out every time you see them.

Oh god.

Faction warfare? Containing exploits? Never.

Another option would be to keep track of his movements. Chances are, each week when he switches corp, he turns in all his LP and takes all the loot to the market. If you can find out which alt he uses to carry the loot, you could blow him up and steal all his stuff.

The best way to stop him is to punish him until he can no longer profit from his actions.

Oh god.

It wasn't a troll post though was it. Every word was truth. Every word was relevant. Watch and see as Goons and their masters at GGP do nothing because it is of no concern.

Individual Goons have already been punushed for abusing FW. Take off the tinfoil hat, stop blaming goons for all your frustrations, realize that ccp has finite resources and cannot fix everything instantly, and just enjoy the game.

As has been mentioned, if you are concerned about this being, then the best thing to do is to take it to the GMs via a petition.

Thread locked as discussing moderation, discussing exploits and spreading rumours are all against the forum rules.

Thanks and fly safe.
