Supported, IF and only IF:
- NPCs are balanced across the factions.
- Speed tanking/ solo-capping made impossible.
- Plexing/occupancy made worth a damn.
- etc. etc. ad nauseum.

FW is broken, simple as that. Change any one thing as it is and the proverbial apple-cart topples .. it has to be done all at once for any kind of level playing field to exist.
CCP has proven reluctant to do anything about people actually using known bugs (timer bug) even though it is a bannable offense according to their own rules.
CCP has proven reluctant when it comes to labelling something as an "exploit" (in all areas not just FW), thus giving "users" a carte blanche when it comes to exploiting - they are essentially making ignorance a valid defense.

3 systems fallen in a day. it usually takes anyone on the Amarr/Minmatar side weeks to get a single system.
Go ahead CCP, tell me this s*** is not game breaking. :(
Let's hope this particular kick is sufficiently swift and painful so that CCP wakes up at long last....

Rodj or anyone else from PIE can't really make a statement similar to the one made made by 1PG for a very simple reason:
We do not offensive plex except on rare occassions. Our primary task has been to hold the line as best we could.
A vast majority of our time is spent clearing the debris after the vigil's/rifters of doom has passed through friendly space 
IC there is no way to speak out against reclaiming of systems without instantly commiting treason/heresy, or that is to say I can not think of any way to spin it.
-----
It is a crummy mechanic that's for sure, but look at the bright side .. blood finally started to boil ..
We as players need to be feverish and drooling like rabid dogs to make CCP take notice.
FW has been puttering along with all the game breaking features because we have lacked the the massive outcry necessary .. we plexers/RP'ers have been ridiculed in every thread raising the issues going back over eighteen months.
PS: Timer abuse is not an exploit as far as I am aware, properly merely frowned upon.
CCP has a very poor track-record when it comes to making that declaration and seem to only make it when they have the bug/mechanic nailed and merely waiting for the code to compile.
THIS is the only list I know of with actual notifications .. hardly extensive.

on the Vigil
True enough. But your experiences are from before the dirt cheap rigs came into being .. those damn things changed the small ship game immensely.
Vigils are hardly used any more though, they have been replaced with EM/Therm rigged extended Rifters .. ab around with impunity in any and all Amarr plexes with added offensive capability

On the timer bug
Funny. I have been petitioning people with irrefutable screenshots as evidence, even a chat log admitting guilt at one point and the pilots are still at large.
Then again, there are GMs that have to ask what a plex is, what the bug is and everything in between .. unless the statement came from a veteran/senior GM or a producer/designer I would regard it as nonsense.
That is why a major overhaul is needed. There are so many flaws in the basic mechanics that even CCPs emploees can't keep up with the bug reports

My bug report has been assigned to a defect.
The bug being that allied factions do not get standings, which results in no repercussions, not that NPCs don't shoot.
This means that this issue is officially classified as a bug, and not intended game design.
Anything that is reproduced by the BH is labelled a defect, essentially just means the report has been validated and continues up the chain (at least that is how I understand the system).
If the standings not transferring is unintended game design, why have they brushed off all comments about it the past (almost) 2 years?
On a positive note, it means they have started working on fixing our worn-down home which is a good thing indeed .. fingers crossed for a massive revamp of the system and not just patch jobs to shut people up.
