How much development time do you think would it take to actually enforce this idea? Detecting it, proving it, handling the reports, handling the aftermath of a punishment, etc.

I'll tell you: a lot more.

Which is Hungarian for never

Because not wanting someone to ABUSE IN-GAME MECHANICS is all about you, right?

Do you really think anyone would have reacted differently if it would have been [insert random corp name here] instead of you? If you do, get over yourself because not everything is about you.

Quit being cheap and hire another dev or two or someone to do the heavy lifting. I don't feel bad for you at all because you are the worst about delegating. Just realize you don't know how to manage this wonderful concept for a game and sell it to someone who will do right for it.

Because doing tons of beacons with plasma bombs in arkhes is on the same level as using a indy bot as remote rep.
Again with trying to bring us down to your level.

And because I have to... again... i'll state...

Oh look player Smokeyii, people used plasma bombs over a year ago player Smokeyii..  You are right!  We must rid the game of such vile vermin!  Especially those that there is video proof!

@Developer Zoom, Dear player Smokeyii's demands should really be taken serious!  Those with Video proof should be treated as an exploit!

Point of fact: this guy has played the game for about 3 weeks.

What if I told you that using current mechanics and tactics that some deem to be 'economic warfare' its perfectly possible to strip an islands NPC spawns so that nothing spawns on the island.

You would do this by using something with an ewar mod to drag a single mob from a spawn and then killing the remainder. All you then need is something with a lot of head slots to take over once they are dragged there and hold that single mob in position. This would mean that a single one of all the spawns would remain in the same place and nowhere else on the island would have NPC's.

Now are you going to do the same thing you did with beacons getting took over and say 'move somewhere else' with that tactic?

What you dont seem to get and over and over keeps getting demonstrated is that people in this game will do whatever they can outside of the mechanics to gain advantage, to annoy other users, to grief people or just to have some lols at the games expense. For every fix we see another hole is found. We have seen this with:

Police towers

Scout arkhe's

Alt accounts

Insurance fraud

Beacon pits

Missions

Plasma bombs

The list could go on.

What needs resolving is the spirit of people's interactions with the game and each other. For that you need something within the EULA that recognises deliberate breaking of the game with bugs or mechanics that are not intended or gameplay that could be considered griefing is actionable and considered an exploit. Not reporting it would be actionable too.

You just cant keep up with the playerbase in a sandbox, they will always find a way.

but seriously, it's everyone playing now and in the past (and future) who has done this. It needs to be dealt with.

Be careful what you wish for when making those tickets.

I know its not, that's just being a ***. I didn't mention that in the post though. I've heard about American literacy rates and don't want to bash you too hard but I hear there are some great courses on completing high school equivalency tests that you can do in later life. Good luck in the future and remember - street smarts can be just as useful.
