The people not in support of nerfing this are either genuinely stupid, or dependant on it. The people who just say "didn't you have a covops" should go and throw their stupid selves in to the nearest supernova.
CCP wont remove the ability to log out while being chased for many reasons. They can do it, it's a very simple fix but they simply don't want to do it. Regardless of what this dev or that GM expressed at fan-fest, their opinion means absolutely nothing compared to CCP's business sense.
Reasons CCP have had logoffski for years:
a) Keeps farmers alive (farmers are decent % of player base)
b) Keeps kiddies playing the game (otherwise they would rage-quit)
c) Keeps people in the game even if they refuse to learn basic tactics
Reasons CCP could remove logoffski:
a) To make the game more unforgiving, something for hardcore players
b) Sometimes people CTD after jumping through a gate READ BELOW
What would happen if CCP removed logoffski:
a) Hundreds, if not thousands of logoffski users would rage-quit
b) Tens of hundreds of farmers could not keep their operations running
b) People could not buy farmed ISK and CCP could not force them to buy GTCs to fix their negative character balance
ON THE SUBJECT OF THE OCCASIONAL CTD AFTER JUMPING THROUGH A GATE
Now, people seem to think that this happens all the time. I've got news for you, if you crash during an actual engagement, because you wont disappear if you are scrambled, you will die anyway. If you crash after engaging, and get probed before you log in, you die. Fair enough.
Now, if you jump into a gate camp, and you crash.. think about it, would you have survived? Probably not. If you really did CTD while jumping, surely you can log in with only 30-50 seconds of de-cloaked time...
I for one would rather lose a ship to a camp because I CTD after jumping in (Never happened in my years of playing, including whilst triple-boxing) then have a game where the current ADHD kiddies can fuel their POS with no risk and draw out these stupid year-long blob-fest battles that are ruining small-skirmish fighting in EVE...
It would be nice for CCP to fix this and improve the game... but it wont happen. Next CCP will start banning macros. (Please, don't think that they actually do because Oveur said they banned some in a dev-blog, that's just stupid.)
