From what I've seen in the last 6 months, Eve has degenerated into this. Everyone is looking for a way to out-survive impossible odds. They will use over powered modules, they will go POS bowling, they will log out / in if it will save them. People will petition it, and 9 times out of 10 the response when told that 'it's not an exploit' will be to start using the tactic rather than actually try and get it fixed. It's a pretty sad state of affairs, and even though I've seen it alot more recently than in the past, it does seem to be a trend encouraged by some of the more 'successful' long term players and alliances.
I mean, if you experienced something like this, and hadn't already invested that much time in the game... you'd quit on the spot. Because there's so many ways to cheat death, there's becoming a big divide between the people that get killed in PvP, who then have to go and work hard for more isk, and those that just PvP all the time, because they hardly ever lose anything, they will just cloak/log if in trouble. It goes against the spirit of the game, because for every item there is supposed to be a counter, for each tactic, a counter tactic. We're now seeing tactics for which there is no counter. It's pretty sad and I know many who have played the game since the start who have left over it.
It's a bad day for the game when there are 2 choices, 'exploit' or lose to those that do. Because you know unless they have an fix in the pipeline it won't be ruled an exploit. By the time fixes arrive the next one is already at epidemic stage...
And damn. I need a faster computer... no way I could log in that many times in 1/2 hr.. :o takes me at least 90 seconds, I'd so be dead if I tried that.
Worst thing I ever did was get caught with a fleet @ downtime (so I didn't log off just downtime hit) come 3am I forget about it, and need to login to give someone a message.... :o ooops... Camp was still up and I didn't even notice I was being shot at until I hit structure (damn windows covering stuff).
I think I need to petition to put a bar on my acct that automatically logs me off @ midnight for my own protection. I only ever seem to lose ships by being stupid @ stupid hours of the night...
