In case everyone missed it, the thread ended on the first page.

Why do you guys keep bumping this thread if you hate the idea so much? =P

I have no problem with the idea. More missionbears will get killed. That simple.

Bad news for you I am afraid, OP. CCP has already ruled on this one and their view is the salvage isn't yours until it's in your cargohold. Ninja salvaging is working as intended.

Wrong sir. The mechanic is broken and here's why. Any NPC that I destroy in a mission site, the wreck turns white. Both loot and salvage. If a pilot enters my mission site and takes the loot from my white wrecks, they are flagged to me as a criminal and I have the option to engage them if I desire.

Several patches ago, CCP gave pilots the option to release the wrecks from the mission owner which turned them (the wreck salvage & loot) blue. At that point, anyone could loot and salvage with no criminal flags being issued. The implementation of this wreck ownership change is what broke the mechanic. If releasing a wreck to the public by turning it blue constitutes no criminal action, then a wreck that is white (loot and salvage) must belong to pilot that created that wreck in the first place.

In this current scenario, ninja salvaging must be considered an exploit since there are no criminal repercussions for salvaging a white wreck that belongs to a pilot that created it in the first place. CCP needs to fix this.

Then again, we're talking CCP here. Dont' hold your breath...

Ahs

Again? Seriously?

LEARN TO ****ING READ!!!!!!!!!!

Devs said no.

End of ****ing story.

Don't like it, give me your stuff and Biomass.

As per my longstanding position in these matters, I support this proposal. Missioners should not be restricted to watching mission looters go red flashy and then being too afraid to shoot them when they could also so easily be able to watch ninja savlagers go red flashy and ignore them too

Do you even know what the word Salvage means??? Have you even bothered to look at the thousands of posts about this. I suggest you do a little research before posting here and making yourself look like a complete moron.


Oh, and I'll just leave these here:

by GM Ytterbium:

"Players are still completely free to salvage other pilot wrecks at will, no matter if they belong to the same corporation or not and doing so is not considered as an exploit."

"Salvaging is a mini-profession within EVE and does not constitute stealing."

"Sadly, I've already explained the whole shebang a couple of times already and have heard no discussions as to changing the ownership of salvage. Things are working as they were designed and I do believe we're quite happy about what the introduction of salvaging has done for us."



by GM Faolchu

"This is an intended game mechanic and is in no way an exploit. People salvaging your missions npcs or the player you just blew up are doing nothing wrong. The players are salvaging what is effectively floating rubbish in space and Concord places no value on this wreckage.

"Eve is a harsh place you won't always have everything go your way, its a do or die world and people do what they can to get along. If salvaging some wreckage gets them a few more ISK someone will do it, it doesn't matter who just blew it up."

"If you're surprised as to why the server does not consider it your stuff, it's because it's a mini profession designed for people who want to roam and look for salvage, not to further increase the revenue from mission grinding.. I doubt anyone with a perspective thinks we need to high-sec increase mission grinding any further.
