There is absolutely no point to you posting this here; petitions and bug reports are all that should be involved when you suspect an exploit. Otherwise, just shouting about it loudly on the forums i) brings it to a wider audience who might then potentially go out and try to replicate it to nefarious ends, but more importantly ii), it makes you look like a gosh-darn large crybaby.

As I just explained, posting its existence on a wider audience will get more people to try it out, will get more petitions and bug reports filed, and will get CCP to look at is sooner.

So, if the goal is to get it fixed sooner, it is the sensible thing to do.

Getting bugs and exploits fixed is important. He should be making people more aware of it so it gets fixed.

If this bug really does exist and is being used on purpose by people then by all means I encourage people to post exactly how it is done one the forums.

Just remember the "boomarang gank" thing that recently got patched, It was happening a little in the eve ganking underground and nothign was done about it, several people posted petitions that fell on deaf ears.

Then suddenly one guy makes a thread with detailed description on how exactly to replicate it and BOOM made a bannable offence instantly and fixed within 2 weeks.

I think it more fun when your drone bay vanishes mid fight and game does not recognize that you even have drones to begin with...

CCP needs to do some rebuilding of this game, code and its databases from scratch one day I think.

Crybaby and a facilitator of exploits? Lol

You are the type of person I and most of us would never be able to get along with and therefore would have to settle with weapons Cool

This man speaks truth. The only time exploitable bugs get fixed with any expediency is when people make the mechanic public knowledge.

Don't ban me, bro!
