Edited by: Infinity Ziona on 28/07/2006 04:27:45 Having to turn on autoblock because your letting retards use the Invite to Gang spam and accidental Enter key exploit is intefering with my legitimate gameplay.
Could you please Bannanate said Retards or fix the popup window so I can allow legitimate convos and invites please.
Thank You.

Putting the default to 'no' would be nice too.
Or simply make popups not force you to focus on only those. Make them non-priority.
Getting convo-spammed while trying to save your pod? Who cares, they'd just pile up while your cursor is still able to spam clikc the warp button.
Get convo invites while typing and the person is hoping for an easy gank-via-exploit? Ohnoes, tough**** for him, you kept typing uninterrupted, or hit enter and it told him NO.
Is it really that hard?

Actually I am fairly sure that the DEVS have said that convoing someone during a fight using this tactics is bad and quite possible a bannable offence.
Don't remember when... but I am sure they said so.

I have certainly run into quite a few people doing this in and around Jita and I have to say it is particularly lame. I remember a time when you were trying to gank someone in EVE and you had to WORK at it, a little more than just right clicking on every pilot in local and hoping someone was unlucky enough to be talking to their friends. It's shameful really that people are so willing to exploit a weakness in the client to get cheap kills.

I dont agree with this. I know of quite a few players, me being one, who gets the gang invite without spamming them at random people. All it would take would be a few lying asshats to get me and many others banned. Most stuck-up newbies wont accept that they accepted to join the gang, and lie through their teeth to make them look 'better'. No. ---------------------------

It would not hurt the game at all if ppl like yourself were warned/banned for your current questionable usage of the game mechanics.

i usually hang around hubs spamming random gang invites for my war targets to attack but i never realised that the gang window a) takes precedence over the game window and b) auto defaults its answer to yes. (all defaults should automatically select no imho) Altho i know people get peeved when they get shot this way i don't think it should be regarded as an exploit because they are warned about joining a warring gang :)

This issues is valid since the popups where implemented. It has been brought up over and over again. We heard the 'I'll look into that.' back then too. On the other hand, the forum mostly worked as long as you've been busy doing the website stuff. --*=*=*--

I laugh at people who want to use police, laws and hundreds of GM hours to fix a simple interface issue.
If there would be a "make the other ship explode" button, the same kind of people would debate endlessly how lame those evil exploiters are who click that button, and how GMs should ban them all. Then the same kinds of people would come here on the forums (well they would if they could bypass the ban) and whine how the griefers stopped griefing using the "iwin" button, but instead tricked the GMs into thinking that the other guys used it.
Oh and on topic - its good to see a dev responding to an extremely important interface issue. I would suggest a "no by default" temporary fix, and a longterm solution involving the reworking of the current pop-up box system, including a more detailed way to "auto-rejecet" (auto-reject convo, auto-reject gang invites, auto-reject gang invites with wars).
The current blocking system needs a rework, many new players think that someone with auto-reject (the interface issues make that a must if you undock) declined their conversation attempt and feel insulted etc even though there is actually no way to just say "no" to a convo without blocking someone. Switch the message boxes around so that autoreject generates a message sayin so - and allow for a "not now" option for convos instead of the useless ("yes, add to adress book").

It actually doesn't matter. You still get gang invites, even if you are already in a gang.

The whole system modal dialog concept is so seriously flawed it makes me cry, and that's beyond EvE.
If it's so important that you need to inform someone IMMEDIATELY, when why add buttons that can be pressed by being in the process of typing random text to a text editor?
Defaulting to "no" just makes it less likely that you type the wrong button.
And for added insult usually there is no feedback on what exactly was just being told to you and what action you commanded.
I bet they don't have system modal dialogs on board of REAL space ships.

No separate programming task in a professional and commercial environment takes only 5 minutes for the dev. If it does you are slacking somewhere.
But default to no, or better, non-modalise and non-focus the window. Yes, please.

How could you not realize this? You've never received a gang invite? Sorry, I just can't believe you are truly that naive. So, not only are you despicable, you're also a liar.
And for the record, I have no qualms with despicable liars playing Eve, nor am I accusing you of any exploits. I do find deceptive PvP tactics in HiSec space to be relatively cowardly though. Real Pirates hunt LoSec, real PvPers fly 0.0.

oooooh, ok, so you want to first admit you exploit to kill people, even if only occasionally. Regardless of the person, and the reasons for you killing them, the methodology you used to kill them is still an exploit.
if/when you would be reported for using said exploit, there would be no use in lying for either of you, as the server logs would either confirm your innocence or guilt in the matter, so don't try to use that as a "reason" you should be allowed to continue to abuse an exploit.
you have failed miserably on both counts, get some skill, and fight with a spine rather than cowardice.

So now its an exploit to kill people using gang wars? Why do gang wars allow you to kill your gangmates then? Why do i have to overload the petition system with questions each time i want answers to some basic stuff?
Server logs and actually logging something ... heh. Heheheehehe.
As for the convo-spamming tactics. While its lame, labeling something that has been deliberatly designed to have such an effect an exploit is even more lame.
"Real devs" dont hide behind exploits, they fix it so that convo-ing someone cannot possibly harm anyone. Then it doesnt matter how "evil" the lame griefers are, they have to go back to killing hamsters, issueing RL threats over phone and sending dead rats via mail.

Agreed. In cases like those, the 'Enter' key should not activate the 'yes' or 'OK' or 'Accept' option. In cases like those, a mouse click should be the only way to aknowledge the invite.

Or simply make popups not force you to focus on only those. Make them non-priority.
Getting convo-spammed while trying to save your pod? Who cares, they'd just pile up while your cursor is still able to spam clikc the warp button.
Get convo invites while typing and the person is hoping for an easy gank-via-exploit? Ohnoes, tough**** for him, you kept typing uninterrupted, or hit enter and it told him NO.

The majority of players use the addressbook to list enemies rather than friends. When you see the green dot in local, you know the player is hostile. As a convenient side effect, it notifies you when your enemies log on/off.

Just heard that my corpmate fell foul to this lame trick.
Easily enough fixed by defaulting to NO.
Please fix this CCP |

Agreed, but that also has the effect of blocking legit convo requests from friendly passers-by, as well as convo and gang invites from your own corp / alliance. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. :) The two ideas of "Default to no" and "Make the invite window popup in the background" are great ideas, but a third option "Only allow gang invites from your corp / alliance" would solve the problem as well. ----------------------------------- You will be assimilated...bunghole! |

Sending an EvE mail is fine however its backwards to have to 119 thousand people sending EvE mails to have auto-reject switched off so you can create a legitimate gang or convo because 100 people are using the system in an incorrect manner.

Petition the lamers and get them banned for good.
Evidently GM spiral didn't get that memo

I wonder what happens if you accept the gang, then get attacked but leave the gang 30 seconds later?
Will the legitimate agression suddenly turn into unlegit? Or can the agressor carry on shooting as long he doesn't bring in more guns and mods to the fight?

The person cant shoot you just because you are in a gang but because you are in a gang with someone he/she is at war with. Thats the whole trick behind this. Its two players, or alts, working together with a fake war to get a shot at you. Someone correct me if I am wrong ... but far as I understood this whole war status gives them the right to keep going after you tull 15 mins after you leave the gang.
The trick itself is irritating but i consider it just another eve normality. It would however be nice if the accept window would have no as the default answer. Having to turn on auto reject cause they spam you with 10 invites after another is quite irritating.

When did I say the gang inviter would be the one initiating the agression 
Can anyone confirm there's a 15 minute agression timer in effect after leaving the gang in which the war target may shoot you?
