You mean like this? http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Exploit_Notifications
Or this one http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Category:Rules_and_Policies


But i agree, they need to make it much more obvious. Simply updating a wiki isnt enough ether. When we login, there should be a notification area listing all the recent rule changes / decisions in the past 6 months. Not every player reads every topic on the forums. And you cant expect them to re-read the wiki every few days to see if its changed ether.


Yes, something exactly like that wiki page - except maintained and up to date. That page has not been updated since 2008. This is exactly what I fear will happen to GM Karidor's page: it will be maintained for awhile, then forgotten and we are back to square #1. Another issue that I have with GM Karidor's page is that it is the efforts of a single GM - it lacks the officialness that other important documents like the EULA or TOS have, which are certain to be continually updated. On top of that, it lacks visibility - but at least players can search for it

It highlights the issue at hand: that CCP employee's are GREAT at communication with the players. But CCP as a corporation is absolutely terrible at it.

bump

Because i run a channel for neer-do-wells and constantly see people breaking rules. Its strange to be both a pirate AND the guy enforcing the 'law' and telling them to knock it off... Most cases they honestly DONT know the rules

"War declarations are never officially considered griefing and are not a bannable offense, and it has been repeatedly stated by the developers that the possibility for non-consensual PvP is an intended feature." - CCP

30 billion systems in this game and all I see are the brave soldiers and mighty warriors getting their codpieces bent because they can't grief in 12 of those systems.

Any of you ever actually fight?

you are aware you CAN

You just cant canflip there. It doesnt say a damn thing about suicide ganking or anything else.

And I was under the understanding it was like 5000 systems...

What about low sec/null sec gate campers all initiating conversations with you after you've jumped a gate?

You get conversation requests from 10-15 + players as soon as you jump through.

They're obviously doing it to cause lag on your client and exploit in game mechanics to gain an unfair advantage over you, does CCP consider this an exploit?

This is a problem that isn't limited to EVE Online unfortunately, I've seen all sorts of communities completely bugger up the idea of having clearly defined rules, hell you look at our governments in real life and the same problem is there as well.

The people who do this from my experience either:

. Deliberately want the rules to be vague so they can ban/arrest anyone they like by using their own interpretations of what the rules are

. Have absolutely no idea how to make clear and defined rules or the people who have done it before them knew what they were about and they can't interpret them

The obvious solution to this would be to just simply get rid of all these rules and start over with something simple and easy to understand for anyone, but unfortunately society doesn't seem to work like that and people in charge in particular seem to like keeping things the way they are.


Kmelx if you're having problems with that sort of thing, before you go and tackle the gate camp that's using that tactic, enable auto-reject invitations in the options, that should probably fix it.

"don't get us wrong, we don't want to screw new players, on the contrary. The core problem here is that tech 1 frigates and cruisers should be appealing enough to be viable platforms in both PvE and PvP."   - CCP Ytterbium

Congratulation, your necromancy skill has improved, you are now an expert conjurer....

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Since it has not been mentioned here I feel obligated as a pirate to point out another interesting policy regarding using corpses, cans, and other materials littered in a drag bubble or around a gate for the purpose of decloaking ships. It's totally legit (as long as it doesn't cause lag) and has been since this game was made. I get questions or objections to this all the time. The GM response was posted here:
