He's saying that completing the mission while not being there was an exploit. If you take a courier mission you are expected to be the one delivering it. You can still have someone else ship it, but the guy with the mission has to get there too. Makes sense to me, but don't let me stop you from whining.

Hello Zarkor, what exploit that you suposidly fixed? Because, honnestly this is bullcrap. And if people want to pay noobs to do their lvl 4 missions, more power to them. I never did that, im an 0.0 courrier agent, but wtf? WHAT EXPLOIT?
Being able to run dozens of courier missions without leaving the solarsystem is an exploit.
There's no objective definition of exploit, it's whatever the devs say it is. It means using the mechanics in a way not intended by the devs, and they said this qualifies.
YOU CAN STILL HAVE OTHER PEOPLE DELIVER YOUR GOODS. You just have to be on the other end now when they get there.
Even kill mission runners who use alts have to physically go to the encounter because there's no way to copy the mission bookmark out of your bookmark folder. They specifically did that so that one person couldn't accept the mission and then hand out the bookmarks to other people and not have to leave the station.

Look it in RL:
the person accepting the transport job isn't always the one delivering the item.
What the one wanting the item is interested in is the delivery, not who drive the truk.
It can be different for some item (and that can be used for the soryline missions and some other) but if all I am interested is a delivery of 10 m3 of gasoline, if the tanker is piloted by Joe or Buck for me it is totally indifferent.
So if the item is in the hangar of the right pilot and the pilot contact the corp for delivery, it is a bit strange that the can't deliver it.
DUDE, IT'S A VIDEO GAME! Do you really need a list of the dozens and dozens of things that are put in EVE that would be completely ridiculous in RL but are in it because of mechanics and playability issues?

If im not mistaken Zarkor, arnt lvl 4 missions based on unique items? So how can you horde those? I mean, i run 2 lvl 4 agents, i get a crate of spirits thats 2km3, and some bluepill thats 900m3, you cant get these items any way else cept thru the mission. Yeah, i can see it so for smaller commodities... but just change the mission for the lower ends. Dont punish us lvl 4 mission runners, esp us 0.0 mission runners.
EDIT-
with dragon code, it converted all the missions to unique items (at least for courriers that i saw, was only running lvl 4s at that time). So why are we getting punished?
I've seen many, many courier missions that just use trade goods. I've even replaced goods that were destroyed by low sec gankers and completed the mission.
The fact is that its a group of people exploiting the mechanic excessively and forcing CCP to remove it. It happens all the time in EVE. CCP has to remove the mechanic because it's being heavily abused, despite it possibly being used legitimately by others.

You undock, warp to mission, gang your alt, voila, he can now warp to you and do the mission.
That's exactly what I was talking about. The person who accepted the mission still has to physically go to the mission zone. They can stop at the acceleration gate, or warp immediately out if its an encounter, but they have to go there. Now its the same for courier runners, they have to physically go to the drop off.
