Yes the Code is a law of nature, like natural selection. By culling the weak the strength of the herd is improved, and with some risk in highsec they’re more likely to progress to NS/LS/WH.
I seriously doubt that coversation happened.
Dev1: hey let’s put bumping in the game
Dev2: yeah that way the players can stay bumped for hours
Dev1: yeah that is what I intend
Emergent gameplay using mechanics beyond what was actually intended is an exploit.
Kinda like bumping supers out of forcefields.
There really should be a limit on the amount of time a active player can be bumped.
Not so much for an afk player.
As far as I am aware this is still CCP’s stance on bumping.
“CCP considers the act of bumping a normal game mechanic, and does not class the bumping of another player’s ship as an exploit. However, persistent targeting of a player with bumping by following them around after they have made an effort to move on to another location can be classified as harassment, and this will be judged on a case by case basis.”
And the context is bumping mining ships away from the asteroids or ice.
However with that definition I could cancel warp, then say I am going to warp and then repeat and if he is persistent and stops me and I made an effort to move away then I can claim harassment and petition it there and then. So the OP should try this then, as he made multiple efforts to move away. And everybody who is bumped should do it.
There you go…
lol you forum bears have been debating this for upwards of 6 years! Don’t you remember? You should play EVE for a change.
but what if i want to duel?
How do you play 10 years without learning about the common ganker tricks like duel scam and can flipping?
offer duel requests.
OP, you done goofed.
What happened to you is legal, and a result of your own poor decisions and ignorance.
PS: I’m surprised that I actually experience a small degree of personal anger when I read how you managed to lose 8.8bil making such rudimentary, noob mistakes. Ive never had anywhere near 8bil, let alone would I be so irresponsible as to lose it in the way you did in one ship.
Quite frankly, you deserved to lose it all. Your mistakes/ignorance is unforgivable.
You wont get anywhere blaming EVE or who did this to you.
This is entirely your own fault. Own it.
There are some really good answers in this thread in regards to OP. There is also already issues starting. As the question was Answered, I will go ahead and close this.
