Well nobody here has given me a logical explaination as to why this ISNT an exploit.
Yes, its on a list, created by the developers, that says its not an exploit. But try for like 2 seconds and think for yourself. Do you really believe that when CCP was originally programming the grid mechanic, they thought, "hey we need to create this in a way that allows players to extend or shrink the grid" ? or do you think this was just an unintended side-effect (bug) that is now being taken advantage of (exploited)?
I have a hard time believing so many of you honestly dont see this as something that should be fixed

I learn everything I can about the mechanic and use the knowledge to survive. If I get caught because of it, I think about what I should do differently the next time instead of coming to the forums and crying about how ****** up I think the mechanic is. If I did feel the need to bring something up I certainly wouldn't post a rant in GD and expect anything productive to come from it.

If I had to guess, I'd say it was an unintended side effect, but one that CCP decided was ok.
But that's purely a guess and just as likely to be wrong as it is to be right. You'd need to ask CCP directly if you want something factual as to why.
As to fixing it, as indicated in my first reply on this thread, work on grids is currently underway. That work will make this issue irrelevant even though it will still be possible.

You're failing to realize the difference between a bug, and an intentional feature. The devs didn't just grunt really hard and pop out a video game... they sat down, planned it out, and intentionally put this into the game.
Actually no they didn't. But since CCP also are keen on emergent gameplay, they shrugged their shoulders, thought about it, and then decided it could remain as a feature rather than declaring it a bug. So labelled it not an exploit. But Grid Fu comes from them attempting to create grids that people couldn't just run over an invisible wall with someone 20km behind them and escape. Not from a deliberate decision to create gridfu.
However to the Op, CCP's mega grids are going to stop most cases of grid fu already. Why complain when CCP are already doing what you want. |

I dont think so. I think the reason there are grids in the first place is a way to deal with the fact its all on one "shard". This is the spaceships equivilent of "clipping".
See, in FPS games, you can increase client performance, and decrease server load, by limiting what you process to things that are only visible to the players. When a player is behind a wall, we dont need to bother drawing that player, or anything else behind that wall. You can also save on bandwidth by simply not sending data to the clients about whats behind that wall.
In space, there are no walls, so instead we have "grids", artificial zones that act in the same manner. Anything outside of the wall of this zone is simply not sent to the client, because its too far away to be seen.
Its understandable even, that these grids would be variable, so that it can expand to deal with an ongoing fight that is drifting off away from where it started.
This is all fine and understandable.
The problem comes when a player is deliberately abusing this mechanic to shrink a grid so they can be 50km off a station and still be invisible. Im sure CCP did not intend for me to be able to make 5 seperate grids around the station so i can break lockon just by traveling a few km in one direction, and then 5km more and im back on the previous grid, able to take another volley, and then back offgrid, and back on, etc etc
If CCP honestly intended for the ability to shrink grids to 60km off a station, and create several different grids around that station as well... that seems even worse. I'd say its far dumber than even fozziesov was. But at least they admit fozziesov needs some work.
