I dont really see why it would be lame to blow a miner to hell, but whatever...
Login traps are considered super-lame by most (or so they say), but on the other side i dont really understand why. They are the only counter to almighty local afterall.

Ok, thanks. Didnt know that. Never done it anyways, as i work alone (and on one account).
Originally by: Twilight Moon Logging yourself out of game so you don't appear there and don't cause alarm, and presumably using an ALT as your eyes, is a exploit surely?
Local is part of the game. Hiding from it in the present metagame is exploiting.
Didnt know that it was an exploit... As for "metagaming" - EVE is so full of metagaming that this alone will not make a tactic lame or an exploit.
Logging out while in a bubble, using an alt scout, using several accounts to boost performance in general. All metagaming.
Then add-in "features" gone mad like local and bookmarks.
Dont forget aligning which miraculously makes you go into warp instantly and being far from warp-in point which makes you untouchable by anything but a cloaker...
What remains isnt much of playing the game honestly.
Ah well, maybe faction warfare. Maybe.

Originally by: Karoth Tyu In reference to the obvious, I never understood why login traps are considered exploits, but logouts to avoid bubble camps are 100% A+ A-OK. They're both metagaming tactics.
[cynic] Log-off tactics are employed to avoid involuntary pvp. Log-on tactics are employed to force involuntary pvp. There you have it. [/cynic]
