First off, I understand there are pros and cons to publishing known exploits, I work in the software industry and have seen both sides.
That said, I would like to be able to determine what is an is not an exploit. I hear that this is, that is not, etc etc. I don't want to stumble across one of these things when I think I have learned some new tactic or UI functionality and get bonked for it.
Any info, CCP confirmed list, what not would be appreciated. If such a thing does not exist, please consider making one and in such terms that the exploit can't be utilized by readers, if possible.

Personaly i feel if all exploits where reported to CPP andt hen made public 1 week later would sure make fixing them a priority.

That is very likely true, and as such expensive to both GMs and Dev - so probably won't happen. |

A lot of CCP's time right now is on getting the patches out, the servers stable, and the people happy.
Once the core code is out, the little work can begin :) And that little work is what takes the **** out of running a game like this XD Hard as ****... I know. I helped out with Natural Selection 0o

Having the list also allows CCP to be able to have justification for doing something to you for using a known exploit. Similar to the EULA, CCP can then say "Well it's stated on the web page for everyone to see". It's then the players fault for not checking it out.
I quite agree with Adunh that there can be certain implications to publishing some exploits but most players are intelligent enough to realise if they are using one of the more obvious and serious exploits. Therefore those would not really need to be mentioned.
Similar to law, you can't enforce a law without having that law written up for people to read somewhere. If they can't be bothered to go a little out of their way too check if what they are doing is illegal, that's their own fault, ignorance of it is not a defence.

I really see a problem not naming what is an exploit and whatnot.
Exploits come from ingenious use of game mechanics (especially from mechanics that the GM's consider bugged) and are no different from a very smart play (ok, the dmg mod multiplier thing was pure exploit).
There have been cases where simple stuff (like launching drones when going vs a pos) was treated as an exploit. How on earth should I know that?
One needs to be a forum ***** to have a distinct chance of knowing if what he's doing right or wrong.
Finally, publicising what is an exploit or not will stop the hordes of whiners and people scream omh4xsploit every time they die in a way they didn't expect.

I don't know about exploits. I would, however, like to see a list of what will get me chastised or banned by a GM or thier minions.

I like the idea. It would be good to know what is an exploit so we can look forward and adjust if we have been using it and when it will be changed.... and of course it would help justify CCPs actions in any case...

Deja, I just read the EULA. And got no defining What you can/cannot do apart from a half hinted link to this :
Quote:
You may not exploit any bug in EVE Online to gain an unfair advantage over other players. You may not communicate the existence of any exploitable bug to others directly or through a public forum. Bugs should be reported through the bug reporting tool on our website.
Can't seem to find any defining rules on what is/isn't allowed. If you can please point me in its direction.
it is certainly needed some help on this Grey area.
