Being Bumped for an hour kinda kills a little bit of the like and excitement i have for this game,,,

Fisrt the 2 machariels bumped me for 10 minutes or so before goons ever showed up.

Second i never fly freightors i knew they get ganked but i thought it was only in .5 .6 systems

Third i didnt know it could be done in 30 fuc***** destroyers :(

Probably around the time you explain what the problem is…

Less snark: when the mechanics stop working as intended. It's really as simple as that.

At the point where you loose a freighter and need an excuse?

Explained pretty plainly in the video description. I tend to agree that completely disabling a person in high sec without concord intervention is not working as intended.

Incidentally, how'd you get the video from the bumper's perspective?

How is he being disabled? And no, CONCORD only intervenes against aggression, so that's working as intended.

Looks like the OP was bumped by a neutral Macheriel so he/she couldn't get back to gate. The DEVs don't consider this an exploit.

And FYI... CCP will not take any action based on evidence provided by a player. It's easy to falsify.

Falls under his description of harassment though:

"However, persistent targeting of a player with bumping by following them around after they have made an effort to move on to another location can be classified as harassment, and this will be judged on a case by case basis."

Judging on a case to case basis is silly; better to adjust the mechanic so you can't completely disable someone in that manner. (or introduce consequences, w/e)

The video is from an alt in corp to the freighter as far as I could tell. I would have webbed my freighter whilst trying to bump the machs - ie one imagines that 2v2 this situation is not entirely unbalanced, one side would have to be more skillful than the other.

He hasn't made an effort to move to another location, and they weren't following him around, so no.

How is he being completely disabled? And no, all kind of harassment must be judged on a case-by-case basis. Not that bumping someone away from a gate qualifies…

That makes a whole lot more sense, thanks.

Or you underestimated your own paranoia.

Yes yes, constantly trying to warp off and bringing a webber is intolerable idleness. Not going to bite any further, sorry.

I am remiss not to acknowledge that he had the option to eject or self-destruct, apologies.

Is it paranoia to think other people are out to get other people?

Golden rule 1) It is CCP's sandbox, not yours.

It is an exploit when somebody uses it to wtf pwn goons then CCP sais its not a game mechanic.

The way CCP usually considers "harrassment" is only if the player is targeted of the course of days, no matter where he/she goes to avoid conflict, for no particular reason.

Unless the OP is bumped by the same people no matter where he/she goes despite being unprofitable... the OP has no case. What?

Really think about that.

If you gain suspect status by bumping someone...

- then every time you undock from a congested station (Jita 4-4) you will bump or be bumped. Everyone will gain suspect status and carnage will ensue.
- when you warp to gates there is a chance you might run into someone (or even the gate)... resulting in people being made suspect for no reason.
- how will the server decide who should gain the suspect timer? Based on who had the lower velocity? Greater mass?

Sure... there are ways to get around this...

- make an exception where ships won't go suspect if they are within a certain range of the station.
- make another exception where people within a certain range of the stargate won't go suspect.

WHOOPSIE-DAISY! Back to square one again. People will be using the exception to bump people off of gates again (at least up to a point).


tl;dr... computers and coding are actually quite "stupid" and can't reason. You also can't create or alter a blanket mechanic that affects so many things in the game without creating numerous exceptions and/or creating new, unforeseen consequences that will also be abused.

How did you Veterans start?
