What happens with bounties when he biomasses that noob alt and makes a new one. And how much of a bounty pay out do you get a for a free noobship anyway? Should be zero?
Broken mechanic is broken. Easiest solution is have sites despawn after completion. If you don't want to to affect other stuff then make it so only for high sec Incursion sites. There, done fixed.
Because using in game tools it can't be fought against. Anyone has infinite supply of noob alts and noob ships and blank pods. Otoh, even T1 fit Thrashers and Catalysts cost money, and sec status hit from podding is much greater issue. Congratulations, your ganking alt is now outlaw. Yes you can work around it, but consider that plex blocker only has to awaken in station and undock in instantly provided free noobship and warp to the gate of the site again. |

You do know the whole "US government does not negotiate with terrorists" thing. Well its kinda like that. If Incursion groups started paying this guy... well everyone in eve has two free noob alts per account. You'd have every single site in every single incursions clogged with dozens of ibises every single one of them demanding their "meager" 10 mill to let the site despawn.
Can't happen, won't be allowed to happen. |

That change could happen only and only if it applied only to Incursions. FW people would be up with torches and pitchforks if all sites despawned once completed.
But yes. It must be changed. Number of people doing it is increasing, and its a case of person using a free noob alt(s) with 0sp on it to block dozens and dozens of people form doing content. And it is absolutely free for the blocker to do it while getting him out is exercise in futility. Suicide Thrashers and Catalysts cost money, and podkilling devours sec status. And all the blocker has to do is wake up in station and bring another Ibis before the whatever is "timer that determines the site can despawn if no one was in it for x amount of time" timer long.
If you try to suicide him on the site your are helping him because you are then in the site and reseting the despawn timer. To nab noobships on the station you need even larger investment for each suicide boat. |

Just out of curiosity (forgive my ignorance and I'm sure someone's already thought of this) is it possible to complete a site without killing every last rat and if so wouldn't leaving a couple of rats at least avoid the problem of being able to do this in noobships?
In HQs not realy. Only TCRC maybe. In TPPH you have to kill everything, same in NRF. I think its only TCRC that some rats don't have to be killed. But I'm not certain of do they despawn much faster than site itself.
This is one of side offects of last years big bag of incursion nerfs, to prevent blitzing ccp made it so that in nearly every single site you have to kill everything.
And most important. I think you only need to sit on the acceleration gate to block the site from despawning (not 100% certain), and if you don't actually need to enter the site whether there are rats left is irrelevant. (I think acceleration gate counts as part of the site, again not 100% certain) |

Most amusing are GM replies that go "post on forums so devs know about it". Troll GMs, troll CCP, troll EVE. |

What is this "HQ site" you speak off? I haven seen any since late December.
Mighty Ibis on trial account, conqueror and destruction of Sansha's incursions. |

Virtual machines, IP maskers, running multiple trial accounts in parallel is possible and common occurrence. |

Been there done that.
Remember last winter? CCP asked for advice, haters spoke. Incursions got nerfed in the ground. No one done them. Very minor buff, people trying to make some isk barely against all odds. |

And that must not be allowed. Only legal sources of income are tech, ganking freighters in niarja and jita scamming. |
