My growing updated response to show just how thick this conversation is getting:

Objectively incorrect. I am quoting a CCP employee, twice. How you fail to be objective, is for your reflection.

No one is talking about _ganking mechanics_ here. You and I both are talking about policy. Come read the content of your own original question where you talk about the behavior _relating to the EULA_ – a matter of _policy_ not _game mechanics_ (the latter of which is governed by rules around _exploits_ – neither of us are discussing this):

Is answered by the following CCP employee post-fanfest about _POLICY_:

I look forward to debunking your further squirming out of this one. Somehow you cannot say “thanks, I stand corrected” and let everyone leave it at that.
