if there ever comes a point when i need worthless pubbie jitabotters opinion on what the effect of a change to eve mechanics would be i will be too busy searching for a gun to end my life with the last shreads of my brain intact

using the game in an intended way i do not like is an exploit, because i am too dumb to tie my own shoes

I haven't given any opinions on any game mechanics. I'm giving an opinion on your conduct- you are making a fool of yourself over and over in thread after thread.

It's when a player is able to gain an advantage, or avoid a disadvantage, by using some quirk in the game mechanics in a way it wasn't intended to be used. IMO suicide ganking a cheaper ship in an expensive ship that you've fitted so that the insurance payout will basically alleviate the death penalty is an exploit. Frankly, I don't think it's a huge deal. My point in my post was that insurance should be left as is, except for maybe closing that loophole. If they think that needs to be closed, that would be fine by me, but I would oppose getting rid of insurance across the board, which is what this thread is about..

suicide ganking with insurance is an exploit, as you can see from the bans ccp has handed down since worthless pubbies began complaining literally years ago

specifically, the complete lack of them, this makes sense to me because i am teamosil, champion of the lead paint eaters league

I was right. In the context of EVE: Online, exploit doesn't mean what you think it means.

[quote=jitabotter]take my previous post, replace "what the effect of a change to eve mechanics would be" with "posting"

Seriously man. You're just making yourself, and your corp, look silly. Have some dignity. Maybe focus on playing the game instead of trolling about it?

Kiddo, again, my post was about that I think we should keep insurance. If CCP wants to close the suicide ganking insurance loophole, that's fine by me, but that's really beside the point of the thread. In my opinion, it is an exploit. If CCP doesn't see it that way, that's fine by me too.

You really need to chill out. You seem to have some kind of insecurity around suicide ganking or something. You're fixating.

an exploit is a way you can break the rules of eve online

things you don't like are not exploits

normally i'd mock you but right now i would love to hear what an "insecurity around suicide ganking" would even be

like i would like a window into this crazy and am prepared to put mocking you on hold briefly to get it

I dunno what it is about man. You're just acting very weird about the issue. Hyper sensitive.

What rules? You just mean the TOS? If so, that definition certainly doesn't include everything CCP has determined to be an exploit or everything that the player community pretty much all agree to be exploits...

go on, explain your thinking, i would like to hear more about an insecurity around suicide ganking

what is it

a rule of eve online: if you shoot someone in highsec you lose your ship
an exploit related to this rule: if you save your ship, you used an exploit

a rule of eve online: moon reactors consume input to create output
an exploit related to this rule: a reactor creating ferrogel out of thin air is an exploit

thing that is not a rule in eve online: expensive ships should not be insured to suicide gank cheaper ships
not an exploit: insuring expensive ships to suicide gank cheaper ships

stop exploiting the subject

In my opinion, it is an exploit. If CCP doesn't see it that way, that's fine by me too.

what is it

you just think you are better at running this game than the people who designed, built, defined, and implement the game

All I know is that you're acting hyper sensitive and defensive about the topic. I made a post where that was just a minor note that although I think we should keep insurance as is, I wouldn't have a problem with CCP closing that loophole, and then you went off yelling out insults at everybody and talking about how much smarter you are than everybody and insisting that it wasn't your corp, it was other corps, benefiting from the loophole, and blah blah blah... Kind of a crazy way to conduct yourself, so something is up...

this is an inferior internet psychiatric diagnosis and i want my money back

also when you make an alt to sockpuppet yourself vary up your typing style you ellipsising idiot
