Interesting. Thanks for linked that.
I think itâs a good change with a bad taste.
I mean ⌠the real problem was that no one shot the suspect logi. The mechanics arenât to blame, and the players ⌠well, theyâre underachievers who abused the fact that no one engages the suspect logi.
If they refuse to do any duels otherwise, then theyâre doing it wrong. No, itâs not a play-style. Ignoring the play-style fallacy, how can âbeing such a sad, sore loser, that I need to cheat in duels to make sure I always winâ be a play-style?
Makes me wonder.
You know ⌠as long as the repping module keeps cycling until CONCORD arrives, this really isnât much of an issue. And, to be honest, I could rep someone as -10. Granted, though, that would be near impossible to deal with, when Iâm trying to duel someone at the same time.
I wouldnât judge about players, using all available mechanics to their advantage. Personally I solved this dilemma, by restricting myself to one account ⌠you see me repeating this often in posts, because I continuously have to convince myself not leaving this route.
EvE isnât a game of fairness. But knowing the duel partner may likely play foul, killed the reputation of the duel mechanic, sadly. Maybe itâs too late, maybe we will see more duels. Still neutral boosts are a thing.

Wait, i thought it was just wars? And not duels or suspect baiting?
Or maybe i didnt read the dev blog thoroughly enough. I do that sometimes, when its a wall of text, and i have better things to do.
I hope more players reduce themselves to one account types like your playstyle. It will make the universe more interesting

The suspect baiters I know do it the old-fashioned way, with an Ishkur of Fantasticâ˘.

Both, was a small easy to miss paragraph in the original blog, and even Lebowsky didnât know on first day. But he confirmed the next, that neutral logi in PvP is banned from highsec generally, see my quote above.

Yes now when I duel freighters it will be a tad more fair. +1 on this change!

I can personally speak to itâs potency.
Carry on regardless. Donât tend to use Logistics anyway, and now people will be that bit more willing to fight without having to worry about potential outside assistance. Some will even grow overconfident in the days following the changes.

Youâre bad if you needed alts to get kills suspect baiting. Get an active tanked Ishkur and live the dream, with a beefy active tanked cruiser docked in system that you can swap to before the timer runs out. (Youâd be surprised how many mission/mining bears will see your ishkur warp off and assume theyâve won, only to die confused when your deimos or machariel lands ontop of them.)

Thatâs gonna suck for suspect baitersâŚI guess.
Jita Counter gets half
So dumb
I actually support getting rid of logi, period. Just makes fights last longerâŚinfinitely longer in some casesâŚ
And this made idiots like Holeysheet leave. Automatic thumbs up.
PS I only run a single account as well, just like Tipa. Very definitely changes your perspective on the game.

I all the time past Iâve been doing wardecs, even though I had a neutral alt, I can count on one hand the times I had to use the neutral logi. In the end, I just dropped the logi altogether for a full time scout/links, and even then rarely had I to use the links and burn my alt.
Target selection and ship selection through widely distributed assets goes a long way for it to work. Same with suspect baiting, play smart and one can solo most ships or couple ships. Is it harder now? Yes, for some players, so what, adapt.
