Greetings.
I would like to ask the community but mainly the GM's, if abandoning 100-200 cheap drones around low sec gate is an exploit or not?
I submitted petition with specific system and specific alliance/corps doing that, but response I received said:
'We'll investigate and take action as appropriate according to the EVE Online End Users License Agreement and Terms of Service. Please bear in mind that any action that may or may not be taken against any reported pilot may not be discussed with a third party.' I would like to state I dont want to discuss the petition, but I really wonder if its an exploit or not, since the response from GM basically did not state YES neither NO.
Please keep this serious, I did not loose any ship to this, I am not whining, I lived more than 50% of my eve live in 0.0 as well as low sec etc-no trolls and offences please.
I just think this game tactic should be treated as an exploited, as it causes server lag and its very dishonest. Skilled players know how to decloak a ship even without popping drones everywhere.
tl;dr Is abandoning load of drones at gate an exploit or not? Should it be reported or no?

I think so as well, but cant find it anywhere official.  |

Thanks for all good answers, I hoped there might be something saying what causes lag and what not but seems like it really depends on GM and situation.
In my situation it was roughly 100-200 abandoned drones and it caused grid to load after jump obivously slower-about 2-3s compared to not-drone-spammed gate.
Anyway, my opinion is decloak should be performed by 'more human interaction' than jettisoning load of garbage around. We have interceptors, we can assign drones, we have MWDs and so, right?
Also I am kinda said for people that are obviously trolling or they did not even read my OP, which is clearly saying I did not loose anything to this and I am not whining. I was just curious. |
