Ironically when mechanics allow "pirate tears" they whine and call "hax". Like the wardec shield "system" , apparently a blatant abuse of mechanics according to some "pirates". Or being able to kick corp members in space which ensures hilarity if that corp member was a ninja griefer who just joined to kill corp members.
Using the game mechanics in an anti-pirate way = ebil/wrong/fail
Using game mechanics in an anti-carebear way = sooo tough/badass/win/trololo
Personally i enjoy both as i don't mind either and i get to enjoy watching both sides whine like little babies.

Yeah, i don't see why people complain that much, this is a sandbox, sandboxes are supposed to have few rules, if people find ingenious ways to grief or protect themselves, more power to them. There are equally as many ways to get back at them anyway.

I think what you meant to say here is that when CCP call something an exploit, pirates call it an exploit too, but when CCP say something is ok, carebears call it an exploit/griefing anyway. Funny how that works.
Unless i've missed it CCP said it was perfectly fine and the pirates were like "nonono, it was an exploit and it still should be!".

Quote:Propably because it was an exploit and understandably so, since allowing it breaks the entire system and gives practical immunity to certain highsec assets. The system went from somewhat working thanks to GM enforcement to being horribly broken like the current bounty system. So while there certainly have been tears about it, it's basicly just players trying to get CCP to properly fix the system, instead of giving up on it and abandoning yet another mechanic in a broken state.
But it doesn't give total immunity, you just have to spend a lot more money or use suicide ganking means. It's merely a use of mechanics to make it harder to be griefed. Just like using aggression mechanics in a dodgy way is a mean to make griefing easier. What bugs me is that using mechanics in dodgy ways to increase griefing is right while the opposite is somehow a "Gamebreaking exploit". And sure if CCP classifies it as an exploit than it is , but seeing as how the dec shield lost that status it isn't anymore and the whining is just as justified as the whining about any pro-griefing use of certain mechanics. It doesn't mean the mechanics cannot be changed in a way or an other but all the whining sometimes comes off as pathetic in my opinion.
