Originally by: Arkady Roskov I understand Wrangler, but the discussion is that of - Is it an exploit ? In one circumstance it is but in another it is not. Im not confirming or saying it is definetely its just an open discussion. Sorry for the vagueness in the title
The Devs (as evidenced by Wrangler's response) have said multiple times this is INTENDED game mechanics. No exploit in any situation. Perhaps you should read up on the definition of exploit; The use of game mechanics in a way not intended. Notice the intended part...
Most of the problems you have listed are only possible because players don't understand the game mechanics or fail to take the correct steps to keep themselves safe. Just like you don't wander through town counting your wad of 100 dollar bills, you don't carry a lot of money in fragile ships. Or when someone grabs your boom-box at the park and runs (can flipping), you don't chase them down the darj ally unless you WANT to get into a gun/knife/baseball bat fight.

IF they show up, move to another belt. If they show up again, move again. When they show up the third time, move systems. If they show up again, petition for harassment.
That works too, depending on what GM you pull.

well you obviously make your pilot fit into an alpha clone.
WHich pretty much means that the whole point is mute...
Beginning characters, in n00b ships, even with standard (non-civilian) equipment are still pitifully weak. Max dps from one would be in the order of around 10 dps with no tanking ability? A decently fitted tier 3 cruiser should be able to hold against 20-25 of them while it one-volleys enough to get away. T1 barges might be in some danger, but they don't belong unescorted in lowsec/0.0 anyways and as long as they don't re-flip the can (who jet can mines anymore as it is) they can't be attacked in High Sec since 100 n00b ships can't put out enough DPS to drop even a retriever before Concord vaporizes all of them.
The only "problem" with them is alts using them to scout, which isn't a problem since they are slower and easier to pop than a shuttle and ALWAYS killed when seen in LowSec or 0.0
I don't see the point of the gripe, it doesn't meet game mechanics in a useable way and seems more hypothetical....

I disagree. If somebody came on corp chat and said "Quick any fighters in system I'm being tickled by an Impairor MAYDAY WARP TO ME NOW!" I think they would be disappointed by the response from their corpmates.
Actually most mining corps/alliances take harassment of their solo miners very seriously and respond when asked. We, for example, have no problem at all plopping a PvP-fitted command ship in the belt with a miner if someone is bothering them (or acting suspicious) or sending a fast cruiser/HAC to bump the irritation 25-30km away from them and keep them there.
