EVE General Discussion

Yes, exploits.

Suicide ganking is not an exploit. I hope I have in some way increased your IQ this day.

Boomerang is not nor ever was an exploit, people have petitioned about this before and been told it is not. As long as the criminal eventually dies to Concord, they're not evading Concord, are they?

CCP caved in to the EVE hating Carebears (again) and should be taken to task for it. In the meantime, just fly cheaper ships and make the pubbies burn.

I question that assertion given how badly the game's subscriptions are affected whenever there's a "Carebear Expansion" put out.

In fact, I even question the idea that there are more Highsec players than Nullsec players. Consider that every single Goon I know has at least one Market alt, often multiples, often combined with several PI or Datacore farming alts (3x PI / Datacore alt will pay for that account + your main), often combined with ten hour hero alts.

And of course, there's the "bot situation." When you have people running 20+ Ice Miner bots at the same time, well, the numbers get a bit skewed as well.

In short, while the much lauded fanfest pie chart suggests that Highsec players outnumber Nullsec by about a 2-3:1 ratio, I find those numbers to be suspect. I would be interested in seeing how many accounts fall into both categories at once, and see the chart adjusted accordingly.

I think we'd see a huge difference.

Asheron's Call under Microsoft used the "The botters pay more" excuse as a justification to allow rampant botting, which eventually destroyed the game. There were more people in Jita tonight than in the entirety of AC across 7 servers, and the games launched relatively close to one another.

I don't disagree with you fully on this, however the people that were using it to completely avoid CONCORD was the reason it was brought to light.

Only a true Noonga can master the Boomerang.

Do you have any statistics to substantiate this claim?

u r one one mad bad op

Wrong.

1. Warping away from a suicide gank was never an exploit, it was only an exploit if you successfully avoided Concord. You still could not dock, you still could not jump through a gate, you still could not jump through a wormhole. All you could do is stay in warp until they caught up to you and you were popped.

2. Abandoning your drones should never have been an exploit, because Concord should NEVER have shot at abandoned drones in the first place. Abandoned drones are trash, anyone can pick them up, and they do not attack anyone. That is an oversight on the Devs for not thinking of the obvious.

Sorry its early in the morning here..



So CCP knew at least that long ago what was planed.

So, all of you who wonder why the Boomerang suddenly became an exploit? There you go
Funny thing: Goons plan Burn Jita
Boomerang is suddenly an exploit and fixed.
Cooincidence
*noms tinfoil*





It was never an expliot till Goons planned "burn Jita" with CCP and CCP figures out you all could avoid CONCORD

Its not hard to figure out whose to blame for that one, Goon

Actually there where 2 of them. CCP Dr.EyjoG at EVE Fanfest 2012: State of the Economy (4:40)

You are right, that the mere numbers of "player avatars" residing in high/low sec, are an imprecise indicator for "real player" numbers participating in low/0 sec gameplay.
Maybe we can encourage CSM or CCP to get a better approximation ?

Anyone else ready to declare 'butthurt' one of those verbotten OVERused overly-Geek terms ????
