Why should CCP put any effort into making it better if people will just use it to grief?
Isn't that what EVE is about? Abusing mechanics to grief? At least that's what i read on GD on a daily basis.
On a more serious note... Seriously, have you actually ever played EVE? Players use mechanics to grief all the time. Spies in 0.0, spies in FW, Scams, emptying corp hangars and saying goodbye, suicide ganking and i think i missed a couple. If CCP shouldn't work on aspects of the game which are used to grief than CCP can just stop working on EVE.

I'm not whining about being griefed. That **** was nothing, I lost about 2mi there. What I am saying is that players who do that sort of thing have no right no whine about complex mechanics simply because they don't deserve a well tought mechanic.
Your game mechanic is all wrapped up in rubber so you don't pierce your own eyes on it. Game companies don't dumb stuff down because players are getting smarter you know?
But your reason why "they don't deserve it" is severely flawed. Acting like a jerk in EVE is common practice.

Right, because the vaste majority of FW players shoot friendly's when they are being asked not to leech from the button.
It's such a common occurance the militia chat is flooded by complaints about such behavior.

If it was indeed an exception people from Minmatar militia would jump in to defend me. This thread proves my theory.
Yes because a post which basically bashes FW truly inspires sympathy.

Really? Would you really expect Militia members to agree/band with you after you explicitly said they deserve broken mechanics? You can't just insult people and expect their allegiance.

I am not sure how many times it needs to be reiterated; however, PLEXES ARE NOT THE SOLE PROPERTY OF THE PERSON SPINNING THE BUTTON FOR X AMOUNT OF TIME.
Actually he got shot for asking the guy to leave the button. It's like asking an ally not to salvage all those wrecks you have created and are planning on salvaging, technically salvaging is free game yet i think we'd all see it as normal to ask an ally not to ninja salvage. Now if he would have been threatening that guy than yeah you would be right. However if i'd get in someone's plex and he kindly ask me to leave it i'd do it. Why? Because i'm not a jerk. If you know that someone is capable of capping a plex and doesn't need help the only reason you'd join him is to leech the time he has spent in it. That's bad behavior right there.
