TNow the ninja'ers are going into missions, stealing the mission objective loot (Worlds Collide for an example) and then bugging out, thus causing you to either petition the GM's and lose the bonus, or cancel the mission and lose everything.
Yes? And?
Btw, if a GM resets the mission for this reason, you should escalate the issue and have someone talk to that GM, since it's not really something they should touch ù after all, nothing went wrong with the mission.
Quote:
Can't the devs code it so that only the original person that accepted the mission or those in fleet can open the container?
They probably can, but why would they?
Quote:
While we're at it, why not code the gates to only respond to those in fleet.
That's a horribly stupid idea since it creates safe zones in an open game environment.

Yes, made one and was answered quickly.
/drumroll.....
Sorry, we cannot reimburse you due to this, game mechanics, working as intended. I **** you not, this was (paraphrased) response from the GM that answered it.
Good. So the GMs aren't entirely clueless after all. 
Quote:
And to those that say pick a different place to mission out of....that's easy enough to say when you have a choice of other agents to go to. If there's only one high-quality lvl 4 agent to pick missions from for the best payout then you're kinda stuck going there, right?
àif the "best payout" is constantly being ruined by having people ransoming your mission completion items, it soon becomes "not best", don't you think? And if it's still the best, in spite of that, having the occasional hickup obviously isn't that much of a problemà

Personally, "ninja looting" could be made a more legitimate profession if the ninjas have to negotiate with the mission runner for access to the wrecks.
It's already legitimate (from a mechanics standpoint). As for making it "legitimate" in the sense of "honest"à why? That would kind of ruin the whole pointà
Quote:
Change loot options to allow "abandon salvage" "abandon loot" "abandon all".
This already exists, btwà
Quote:
So my vote is find ways to make salvaging a true profession, like all others, with an associated "cost of doing business".
How much will the mission-runner pay, and to whom?

Just burns me when my mission objective gets swiped. But oh well, nothing a simple petition can't solve.
It shouldn't solve it, though.

I am glad you posted this. I pointed this out before, concord does in fact place value on the wreckage loot cans. The value it enough to blow up ANY ship in the game over it. The wrecks cans are indeed "private."
Fix'd.

It does. CCP frowns on taking mission items just to keep people from finishing the mission.
Do you have a source for this?

Nah, just making things up as i go along.
Thought as much, especially since there are GM quotes saying that it's A-OK to steal mission objectives (first one I found with a simple search): Originally by: GM Faolchu
If they happen to also steal the mission specific loot again this is within the rules of the game, it is a harsh circumstance but it is allowed.
It's petitionable if he was using some kind of exploit (e.g. accessing the objective container before it should be unlocked), but that's about it.
