Pretending they did not know it was an exploit would be a blatant lie. The intent to cause the affected client to freeze or crash is beyond a reasonable doubt.
The detail of it not being considered an exploit officially recognized as such indicates more going on behind the scenes. Possibly difficulty in controlling or balancing against abuse?
Taking advantage of the situation like that is about as cheap as it gets. Cloaking being on a ten minute manual cycle timer? (Author: Bree Okanata) Fine. As long as there is a ten minute timer for being docked in a station. Also, you can't stop moving in the game. Just add in a way so every ten minutes you are randomly warped to the nearest other player. Keeps people from going AFK. |

Dumb tactics like this that take advantage of supposedly off limits details in a fight are not helping our game in any way, shape, or form.
Pay it forward is not the useful attitude when the topic is comparable to flinging poo.
Or as my grandmother put it, "Two wrongs don't make a right".
Noone should give a flying frak who did what in the past. This is something we need to take out of the sandbox moving forward. Cloaking being on a ten minute manual cycle timer?

Case in point, special delivery item can not be repackaged, you can however ask for it in a contract. The contract thus can not be filled, but buyers wont know that. A bit of alt fu and you can make massive amounts of isk all while they cant do anything. Better than margin scams (oh hey what about those?) as unless you check each item you will never know. Despite this being in game CCP has made it known that doing such a contract is an exploit. This is a straw man argument.
We are not talking about deception on a level between characters at all here. Fraud is not involved here.
This involves a group of players abusing a game function to disable the client of another player, so that they can take advantage of the resulting situation in the game.
Attempts to justify it based off of arguments similar to "He did it to me first", fail to recognize the need to stop the problem.
Don't waste time pointing fingers. Fix it. Cloaking being on a ten minute manual cycle timer? (Author: Bree Okanata) Fine. As long as there is a ten minute timer for being docked in a station.

The autoreject should be flagged at the server level to stop this, not the client.
Not sure if it can be fine tuned, but you should be able to white list people in order to filter important conversations. Why should your communication ability be compromised simply because others are willing to stoop to underhanded exploitation? Cloaking being on a ten minute manual cycle timer?
