Seeing as people have been doing it openly for years now, after they lifted it being an exploit, I doubt it.
But I have been known to be wrong. Just ask my wife. Big smile

It was said in highsec. It carries no weight.

If you were to take everything that highsec says is "EULA breaking" as absolute fact, then anyone with a sec status under 5.0 should be lined up and shot for being a dirty griefing fatherless pirate with mommy issues and envy of the nether-regions.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

i didnt have time to look at the EULA while i was more concerned on a 800 word essay on the death of 146 people, but now i can and figured a space lawyer might know of it first

Well, they should anyway, EULA or not. If we charge admission we could solve world hunger!

You encountered something we like to call "ELITE HISEC PVPER". They are unable to mount any kind of offensive or defensive against an entity which can cobble up a kitchen sink of more than 4 ships and they will instead sit in a station for a week and wardec something else which cannot fight back.

You are allowed to leave a corporation to avoid a wardec. This subject has caused one of the most entertaining thread in a long while where risk-averse "ELITE HISEC PVPERS" are crying foul due to CCP having tools to mitigate their fun. Lots of tears in that thread, such memories.

Excuse me sir, but as someone who personally claims the title of ELITE "HIGHSEC PVPER" I resent the use of the term to describethose kinds of folks.

Corp jumping is practically obligatory when corporations have very little impact on New Eve-O players.

Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

The war system allows corporations to declare war on corporations, not people. If you leave a corporation which is decced you leave the war behind. Sounds fairly straightforward and not at all like an exploit.

You, good Sir, were thoroughly misinformed.

Leaving a corporation during a war is not against the EULA in any way shape or form.

In fact.
A few important passages from the Terms of Service that apply to an harassment case like this. Remember that CCP is quite arbitrary so there's no guarantee they will keep it up, but you are always able to file a ticket about someone who deliberately harasses you. CCP doesn't take lightly to harassment of newbro's.

As in most things, motive is key here:

"WHY did you jump from corp to corp?"

"I just like the new corp. Oddly enough I didn't like the old one."

"BUT, it was in the middle of a WAR!"

"Can I help that? What am I, everybody's MOTHER?"

Of course, EVE is full of little mind readers...

"We KNOW why you changed corps. Don't hand us that transparent crap!*"

(*The contradiction in terms is critical to presenting the prevailing mindset.)

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

How is leaving a corporation "abusing, harassing or threatening another player or authorized representative of CCP"?

Avoiding wardecs by corp jumping is not against the EULA. Chasing people who corp-jump by continually warding that person through multiple corps can be construed as harassment (there are plenty of other fish in the pond, why are you picking on just that one?)

Jumping corps is an excellent way of farming hisec carebear tears though: "it's not fair that it costs me 50M ISK to declare war on this character every time they move to a new corporation! I want EVE to be easy for me! I paid my 50M ISK dammit, now I want some risk free PVP!"

Ou dear. One of these threads again...

Leaving corp is normal gameplay even under wardeck...

As someone allready pointed out OP had run into one of these want-to-be-elite-pvp-in-highsec persons. Their usual strategy include mis-information, wardecking defenseless corporations and over all being total idiot about it...

They usually run screaming when someone suddenly can mount even semi-decent defense. In fact most fun i had in eve was turning the table on one of these corps way before wardeck fee changes... Went out hunting them instead... Fools accepted it as mutual.. After few weeks hunting them they jumped their own corp. :P
