Edited by: Jake Solnich on 08/09/2003 04:47:48 Many players including myself are concerned about a possible exploit that is now being used by a large group of unnamed corps.
Most of you already know what I'm talking about and I won't elaborate on it any further.
Read this post linked here for further info on the exploit being used.
Need Some Clarification From CCP
So you might be asking what's the point of this post then. Well my point is that alot of people seemed to be confused about what exactly is an exploit. This is the point of my post.
In my personal opinion I believe the technique described in the linked post above is indeed an exploit and I will prove it here.
So what is an exploit?
I will let CCP tell you what an exploit is and you can decide for yourself.
Quoted from: Eve Support
Quote: An exploit is when someone takes advantage of a bypass in normal game mechanics, allowing him to take advantage of you without you having any means of preventing it whatsoever. When this occurs, we implore you to contact your friendly neighbourhood GM/Support Team as soon as possible, to allow them to investigate the incident, prevent it from happening to anyone else, and possibly reimburse you for your loss.
Eve's support page further elaborates on exploits with this quote as well.
Quote: Pray tell, what is an exploit then? An exploit is when someone deliberately bypasses the normal game mechanics, by utilizing a bug, a weakness in the system or any other possible loophole in order to personally gain from it, and/or by intentionally use said means to take advantage of other players.
Hopefull this will clear up all the disinformation or confusion that is being spread on some of the posts concerning this topic.

Majin Buu, what in the world are you rambling about? What you said made no sense at all. Care to explain?

OMG! OMG! Could you possibly mean lag caused by pirates predicting your jump-in point and clustering drones (not even all of them are wasps and ogres) so that it takes your client 45 seconds to load the enviroment while they destroy your ship?
OMG! they r teh suxx0r. kthxbye!
I sort of agree it is a wee bit suspicious but I think its for members of MASS to complain about rather than you or I.

Interesting how someonw seeing a harveter drone in a battle goes to "using harvester drones to lagg people"... Interesting indeed. I'm really sorry I trained my drone skills. I should have choosen another race so that I could avoid lagging those poor people I meet in battle. I will immediately take off my ogres and mount miner II:s instead. This appears to be a secret MASS tactic so it might work. ------------------ NoctoZ Black Reign Curse Alliance |

Edited by: Jake Solnich on 08/09/2003 06:11:56 Who said anything about using drones to create lag for other players? Are you perhaps incriminating yourself Noctoz?
Besides, that's only a small part of the eqaution and there's a whole lot more to the story that that and you know it Noctoz.

I hate thread dodgers. You have a thread open and it doesn't look to be swinging your way. So you open another thread and hope the people tearing your arguments a new one won't notice?
Some people playing this game are cruel and vicious. Most of those cruel and vicious people are not as stupid as you'd hope them to be. The question was never answered from the original thread:
Why would someone using a drone worth 100k isk to create lag at a battle when a 15k isk (or cheaper) would do the same job and be capable of fighting?
It's not like it's impossible to find Acolyte drone blueprints or lord knows the drones themselves (open a spawn container, any spawn container. 3 out of 5 there's a drone in it). Or could there be a simpler answer, one that you're willfully ignoring in your rush to accuse someone of cheating you? One that could be staring you right in the face but you turn away to avoid it?
Maybe they had the harvesters in their drone bay along with regular drones while out mining and just did 'Select all->Launch'?

Edited by: Jake Solnich on 08/09/2003 06:27:29 Jash I'm beginning to think that you do not have the intellectual focus or insight to fully understand this discussion.
Further more I'm a little offended by your false presumptions that I'm a "thread dodger" as you so eloquently describe me as.
Jash I have provided hard evidence from very credile sources to support my arguments.
HAVE YOU!? No you have not. You just choose to speak your mind and you have nothing to back your arguments. I rest my case!

Edited by: Vidar Kentoran on 08/09/2003 06:27:52 Anyone who comes on the boards complaining about an exploit should be banned, no questions asked, no favors given.
Exploit complaints go to GMs through the petition system.
They do not belong on the forums. EVER.
The boards seem to be 99% spam these days because the moderators either don't have the tools or don't have the will to do their job.

Well Vidar that's your opinion and your certainly entitled to it.
I would like to keep this a constructive argument as that was the original intention of this post contrary to what some might suggest.
I wasn't complaining, I was asking people to think critically! Perhaps that's too much for me to ask of you Vidar.

Personally, I think the pirates knew full well what they were doing and that is why MASS suffered heavy losses while the pirates suffered none (or did RUS lose 1 Dominix?).
The tactic of camping the jump-in point is a very astute one and the pirates could be congratulated for thinking of it BUT consider this - individual drones can be recalled to the drone bay at any point.

When I launch drones from my Thorax, I see 2 out of the 7 drones I'm capable of controlling in the control interface unless I scroll down. On screen I see 'X's with green bars next to them. I have launched harvesters by accident while clearing a roid belt to mine in.
Now it could be intentional, but:
1) How do you prove it?
2) How do you explain the illogic of sending valuble, yet harmless drones out when cheaper drones will do the 'job'? And actually cause damage?

32, thank you.
Now describe how combat begins in Eve please. Ah yes, it begins with someone entering an area.
Jump in points, warping to a location, undocking. Different scenery, same mechanics. Only difference between warping and jumping is you cannot have modules active. But then that's the same as undocking.
So is that the next 'exploit'? Waiting for someone outside the station to undock will be exploiting as well? Just where do you think combat is supposed to take place? And how are people supposed to fight? Agree to warp to locations 500km apart and MWD to a point in the center?

Edited by: Jim Raynor on 08/09/2003 07:22:26 omfg they used drones, they r teh cheat. ccp plz gimmi ship back i suck and and r stupid and am not good at eve. :(
Yanno, all the fights ive been involved in, in fountain, you guys ALWAYS DEPLOY TONS OF DRONES. OMFG! We warp in and still manage to win, because we are better than you, just accept this and move on.
Here, you want proof? Take a look at this screenshot, we warped in and attacked you in YZ-LQL at a station, you were all there with your drones deployed.
We had no drones deployed, we were the attackers, we had to warp to you, we still won, notice where those drones are, and nothing around them? That's where your ships used to be.
You guys are hypocrites and losers. If we "exploit", so do you. Drones aren't exploits, soundly defeating your pathetic fleets time after time, is not exploiting.
Sorry if you can not accept this. ------

Edited by: Homo Erectus on 08/09/2003 07:28:35 don't cry raynor. if you want to not suck at eve, let me know. I'll help you to not be a weak newbie.
as a sidenote; i think it is imparitive to make entry points into systems completely random, so no 2 people will end up in the same place.
we simply cannot have skillless newbies like sin/m0o/rus camping an entry point and massacring fleets that enter, and going on to believe they have skill.
_________________________________________
jimboray; camping an entry point with the purpose of causing lag may not be an exploit. deafeating fleets time and again using those tactics may not be exploitation. we are not to decide. ccp is. one thing that is certain, though.
you have no skill, and it took no skill to do what you did. you are not good at eve. |

Easy to explain: 1) i have money enough to buy new ones 2) i don't have enough combat drones in my drone bay at the moment but ooh well, if i keep them in the drone bay they don't do anything, if i launch them the others will get an extra second of lag

Homo, you are such a whiner carebear peice of ****. Nothing you say is even worth my time, your posts are ridiculous.
You talk to me as you are even on par when it comes to PvP when surely you are not. You come to this board time after time to do nothing but spout your useless bull****, empty threats, and cry to CCP for your failures.
Sinister, RUS, m0o, have no bag of tricks, everything we know, you know. You know drones cause lag, we know it too, but we both deploy drones, because well, they are part of the game, deal with it.
Now shut your stupid mouth and get back to mining bistot or whatever the hell it is you do in Eve. I know it sure isn't PvP. ------

Muppet 
But u see "sister" its not the same mechanics. camping a jump-in point, there is no immunity, undocking from a sation there is. I have no probs with people using drones, camping gates, or fighting, this is an alt, and i am a pirate myself. Point is camping a jump-in point where there is NO IMMUNITY. is for griefers. at least with drone lag u can still do something. loading ur client to a pod is bs. but np's. i hope this is ur main character. ill do my best to find where u normally are, and wait in the next system for u. no drones, nuthing, i will just kill u from ur client having to load. see if ur perspective changes. Do u understand that this topic is about camping "jump in" points only? itsa not about anything else. its not about jumping to a gate vs a sh1t load of drones. this is about ur game not even bein loaded. and u think thats right? 32 or not. ur acting like a child.

Well obviously that's what some people want is senseless flaming.
If you think about it it's an excellent diversionary tactic which gets everyone off the original topic. And unfortunately that is exactly what is happening.
I challenge the more intelligent reader of this thread to ignore the flamers and focus on the original post that started this thread.
These flamers are not stupid, oh no, they are cunning and decieving and this is the weapon of their choice when they have no evidence to stand on or back them up.
Beware the flamer. He will use diversionary tactics like these to throw you off track and you will lose the original message of this post.

I dont think they are the same... you have no clue exactly how many people are in that system nor do you know that someone might be camping out side...
another problem is we are not 100% sure if you get the 10sec invul... and if the ship is shown when you are still loading...
if it shows when your loading and you get LAG and you cant have any modules on...
then that is taking big advantage of someone. support Idea: QuickInfo an alternative to ShowInfo

Homo is simply an idiot. I will answer your post directly and tell you this is not an exploit.
#1 Where you appear in the system is random or atleast depends on where you jumped in from. Sometimes you warp straight to the station in that system you last undocked from, so no, camping "jump in points" is not as exploitable as you think.
#2 Yes there is no immunity timer on jump in, should there be? Probably yes.
#3 Drones are not exploiting, they are part of the game, people that train up drone skills tend to want to use them, they take a while to train up, so NO CRAP, PEOPLE USE DRONES OK. ------

raynor, son, calm down. breath and stuff. Letting me anger you so much at this point is just an admition of my ownership of you.
Step back, drink some water or something. posting like you just did in such an angered state will only cause you to look stupid and say daft things.
calling me a carebear and horrible at pvp is like calling yourself a newbie. i am better than you at everything that even remotely concerns eve.
being angry and having a tantrum because of this is not the answer.
ok, now, go back to sitting at an entry point with as many drone as possible, and keep training 'poser' to lvl 5.

Its funny how the "victims" of the exploits get flamed by the exploiters. and no, ive never been a victim to an exploit. but everything i read about it is enough to have me back the "victims". fairplay is fine. camping a station waiting for a "target" is fine. there is immunity when undocking. Im sure u used the sensor ctd's to, and somehow justified using it. There is no Justification to killing a person when there client hasnt loaded. and the people doin this know damn well their "victims" client hasnt loaded. but they do it anyways. its not like u guys need to. u can get them without exploiting. But u guys get pleasure out of making the player database shrink. i dunno why u get pleasure outta that. most people quit do to the exploits. not cause they lost their ship. Who will there be to kill if the exploiters\griefers shrink the playerbase. i mean come'on. think a little.
