I'll take the word of people that extending aggro like this is not considered an exploit, and in this light, he should not have gotten the CNR back. ( bad move on CCP there, though I can understand a DM having a little humanity, the guy waited for over an hour to undock )
I can fully see why people find this unfair, as many people have lost stuff to bugs/lag/whathaveyouthatisnotsupposedtohappen.
The logic on the timer however, is something I find faulty as well.
1. MR shoots rats, makes wrecks
2. Ninja comes in and salvages wrecks, no problem.
3. Ninja takes loot from wrecks -> Ninja is flagged and can be agressed safely.
HOWEVER!
Doing so will initiate:
4. MR is agressed to Ninja, and Ninja can rightfully fight back for 15 minutes.
Following this:
5. MR halfway in the fight decides it's a bad idea, and manages to escape and dock up.
6. MR sits in station to wait for the counter to go to 0 so he's safe again.
Now for the non-logical part:
7 Ninja agresses the wrecks left behind( in a hurry, so no time to abandon ), causing the timer of the MR to extend
while MR is not doing anything to agress the Ninja.
LOGICALLY would be:
7 Ninja agresses wrecks, HIS timer that he can be shot at without concord interfering extends.
Meanwhile, as the MR is not doing anything against the Ninja, the timer on the MR that the Ninja can shoot him keeps
going down till it reaches 0, and the Ninja can no longer shoot him without concord getting ****ed.
Result
8 If MR undocks after said 15 minute time is up, he's safe from being shot at by the Ninja, conversely
as the ninja has been playing with his wreck and extending the timer, the MR can go find the ninja and shoot at him
without concord being ****ed. If he does so, HIS agression timer starts again, and the Ninja has another 15 minutes to
shoot back without concord being ****ed.
As it stands, my opninion is that unless this is changed, extending the timer like this SHOULD be considered an exploit
as the idea behind agression is bringing harm to someone in some way, aka shooting, stealing, whatnot. As the one who's
timer is being extended by this 'trick' is not doing any of the above, his timer should not be extended.
