EVE General Discussion

I can totally see why this a bannable offense.

Otherwise, anyone could come into any cosmos plex out there, put out their drones with permarep and earn x isk per hour indefinitely... completely tying up that plex for everyone else and virtually removing it from the game.

Ya,,, let's not push to make that legal.

I don't do it, but I'm glad to hear that it's not an exploit.

If anything it's just one more reason on the ever growing list of why npc AI's need to be buffed all-round.

And although I have no evidence, I'd still like to quote, from the Original complaint, the following:


How many of you believe them...? I know I don't... I don't have any evidence, but I bet CCP do.

How often do we hear? :

hehe. I do that but yeah totally agree, even if it isn't an exploit it does go to show that the AI does needs some serious upgrading

Just because one GM said its not an exploit doesn't actually affect how another GM would rule on the situation.

Have any of you seen how poorly the cosmos sites pay out these days?

there's still money in hacking the containers but just sitting there killing the rats?

No dice

Nonsense I say! I thought it was quite evident that every member of the forum is an upright citizen of high moral ground. I will hear no more of this heresy!

Don't people do a similar thing with tengus and FOF missiles?

Patient got to it before I could. I could name numerous other examples, mostly involving massive amounts of bubbles and cans. Sometimes they "cause lag" other times it's a "illegitimate mechanic". Personally I understand that sometimes GM's have to make judgement calls, and one persons call may differ from another's, but it does frustrate the player base sometimes.

In any case, I think I'll save GM Harmonoia's quote and attach it to all my future petitions :P

Same thing for a guy i petitioned a year ago, maybe two.
He kept warping in and out, trying to smartbomb a rifter.
He was ... in a thrasher.

I thought it was hilarious, but i petitioned him for "avoiding CONCORD" anyway ...
... and the GM said it's all good, this guy keeps losing ships over and over.

Same thing for the boomerang "exploit", really.

GMs may all make decisions abiding the same rules, but the decisions can be different (!), nonetheless.
Nobody can tell me that every GM will always come to the same decisions,
simply because they are human beings and their logic may differ !

Also, L0ck, i don't believe that this guy was lying, simply because there was no reason to
and the whole thread didn't work out like the typical troll-thread.


So ... although GM Harmonia said this is not an exploit,
there's no reason to believe that a different GM won't rule otherwise,
simply because of that thread i've fallen over some day.

I have no issues with GMs, but there's quite some room for improvement !

The way it works now, it just can't be right...


Edit: btw, the thrasher failed. It still was hilarious to watch, though ! :D

Ah yes, the actual issue.

It makes no sense to say it's not an exploit when a single guy keeps
shooting everything, WHILE HE'S ACTUALLY NOT AT THE COMPUTER,
and there's nothing that can be done about it. Talking about highsec, of course.

Just makes no sense. At all.
