Vors: Here's a tip, when your post content is really large, its useful to break up the post into chunks so people can easily reply and contribute to the thread. Without doing that some people will just start unneccesarily flaming and trolling. When there's too much of flaming and trolling we will lock a thread. Due to that your voice/opinion will get lost, and you dont want that to happen do ya?
I'm not the grammer police, but I'm trying to make my job easier and your point heard.
Anyways, here's a simple example of how your post would look formatted.
__
There are many people unhappy over the fact that some people are using suicide gankers in high sec. (A cheap fitted BS and frigate with scanner killing haulers before concorded)
Now this is an exploit for several reasons:
1. To gain is to risk in EVE. EVERY form of serious moneymaking in EVE involves risk or is very time consuming, be it mining in low sec or doing missions, there is NOT supposed to be a way to make large amounts of money quick and easy. These guys KNOW they will lose the BS and don't care, because they are gaining more than they lose. I've heard of 500+ million cargoes lost to this.
2. EVERY form of pvp in EVE gives you a chance. If you are in low sec, you KNOW you are risking yourself, so getting jumped is fine. Going to war, you KNOW there are war targets, and you can avoid them. This exploit gives you NO chance, you can be popped ANYWHERE ANYTIME by ANYONE with no warning. That is ridiculous.
3. Even after you are popped and lose your valuable cargo, the ones who popped you are in an npc corp, so there is nothing you can do back to them, so they get away free. That to is total bull. Even in war, you can strike back. Pirates in .4 or less in npc corps are one thing, you can avoid em or are warned, but in a system with 100+ people, where anyone can pop you with impunity, THAT is an exploit.
Now, just so I'm not your typical whiner I can offer a solution that is simple and involves minimum effort to do without changing the game much:
1. Make using a cargo scanner a Concordable offense. I do not see why it isn't already, it's obviously a hostile act.
2. Make a cargo scanner have a delay that is long enough for Concord to kill the user. There. Simple, and you can STILL attack people in empire, just this way, you don't automaticly get far more than you lose, the element of risk is back as it should be. To those who say use a shuttle for bpos, or a BS, I ask, why the hell should I be inconvenienced because of losers who abuse the rules? It DOES NOT matter how I carry my stuff in empire, what matters is that this act is wrong and against the spirit of the rules.
There is supposed to be a penalty for killing someone in empire. PERIOD!
