So how would you judge the situation where someone crashes to desktop and then logins to fight again? You would have tons of petitions about people accusing eachother for login traps. And they seem to have enough to do in that department...:)
Very easy for CCP to see that, oh X person from XZ corp logged out, oh now theyre back... compared to, wow 30 members of XZ corp just all logged out.... hmmm now ALL of those people just logged back in within 10 seconds of each other... im sure its just a random CTD they all happened to experience at the exact same time.... moving along now...
1. it IS easy for them to police
2. IF they started policing it and banning people for a week? 2 weeks? month? for doing it then it wouldnt happen anymore once everyone heard about RAT being banned for a month (oops did i say that?)
3. that is all

Then ccp would have to have staff available to investigate every possible situation that might be a logon exploit. Its just silly tbh. The solution should be handled by the game itself, not GM's.
nooooooooooooo
for the game itself to handle it we require patches, development, testing ect ect ect. For it to be announced on news as a new petitionable exploit, and for a GM to look at a logfile when a petition comes through would take how long? a minute? if confirmed logon exploit then either ban them or (better yet) clear out ALL their hangers :D (including corp hanger) for.... a month or two - thatd sort em out, just leave them with noob ships and 100 isk.

DEVs say log on traps are an exploit.
They recieve a petition corp/alliance XXX just used one in XXX system, they look at logs and blatently see 50 ships log off, then log on again at the same time, obvious log on trap right?
GM then BANs all accounts involved in the log on exploit for a month.
News spreads like wildfire.
No one does it anymore.
Simple, also I think "hundreds of petitions a day" is a little extreme, their are only a handfull of corps/alliances who use this on a regular basis, most consider it lame and wouldnt consider using it, once the word is out, and once the few abusing this are punished it will become a non issue.
/signed in blood
isnt this what ive already said though? :p |
