SHould can-flipping be fixed, I'm sure there would be someone to scream that CCP caters to carebears, too.
Can flipping an exploit?

That's a falacious statement.
Case in point, I haven't participated in any PvP activity in the first 8 months of play. By "any", I mean I hadn't even targetted a player except fellow corpmates. Most of the people I know are the same.
Further, the majority of the players seem to be dwelling in high-sec empire according to the devblog reports, not 0.0 or lowsec.
As such, defining eve as "mainly PvP" is wrong.
Everyone has, at every time, the ability to participate in PvP but, for the majority of players, it seems to be against their will (or they wouldn't live in highsec).
I would also agree that the ""endgame"" content is in PvP areas, but that doesn't mean that Eve as a whole is mainly PvP.
I agree with the rest of your post about trust though.
I see what you are saying and while I do not disagree with you, there are those that will point out that everytime you undock you are consenting to PvP. Therefore my statement is not falacious it was just not quantified properly.

I think that it would be more accurate to say that EVE is a sandbox game, of which PvP is a large part.

Aye, that it is and I said as much in my original post, just not on the same line as Meissa replied to.

it's in the drawing board. Chill.

Quote:
Gang Support for Missions
Some changes to the Agent Mission system to implement proper support for groups of players completing missions together, including reward distribution and anti-griefing measures.
Hmm, the "my fleet and I have completed the mission" option which shares the rewards between them by a game mechanic, rather than the players doing it themselves, sounds like proper support for groups...
And the warning popup on joining gangs warning about wars and things, sounds like an "anti-griefing measure"...
Means that...
Omg, It's already implemented!!! everyone wear your tinfoil hats to shield yourselves from the falling sky!!!

As mentioned before - it is in the drawing board and according to the paragraph intro to the drawing board it is basically a napkin idea.
The sad thing is - if I am not mistaken this part:
"Some changes to the Agent Mission system to implement proper support for groups of players completing missions together, including reward distribution"
has already been implemented so I am thinking that the Drawing Board needs to be updated.

That is an old item from the drawing board that has already been implemented years ago, it refers to the sharing of mission rewards with gang members which as started is already part of the game.
Take what you see on the drawing board with a pinch of salt as it very very rarely gets updated

Though this was a game where you can choice what you want to do.
My Corp is not intertested in PVP.
so we LIKE the ANTI-GRIFING measures.
bye the bye I personally talked to Oveur and he promised me there would always be a place for my kind in EVE, solo and care bear high sec corp.
Talked during the first  and last Vegas gathering.

this is a good point, actually. i will demonstrate below:

Which one are you making, so I can make the opposite assumption, then we can like, argue or something and hopefully make this thread more entertaining (at least for me)?

It's from the same page as vague, tentative plans for the Interbus.
Which means exactly SQUAT from CCP... I agree with the above quote: - will believe it when I see it. Till then, it is just fluff, and has no bearing on the game whatsoever.

Hihi i love you pvp types. This is about the lofty scam btw. The reason its implemented now is fw. So its not about Carebears at all they have long since adapted. Its because all you pvp types feared that you will be killed by your fw gang mates before you even reach the objective. So ccp ended lofty because pirates and pvpers whined about it.

Greatest flaw of EvE is that there is any high sec space at all. If low sec was as secure it could get all mechanics could be adjusted to support traveling and doing missions in really low security space instead of all these silly "exploits" of different kind of rules to suicide gank or can flip etc. lameness which doesn't make any sense at all TBH.

This is so ridiculous. Leave it the the EVE community to be outspoken against Anti-Griefing measures.
The whole point of Griefing is that it's done to make life hard for other players for no other reason than to laugh to yourself and your buddies about it, which detracts from the game. Griefing is a practice which is universally damaging to a game's community.
Anti-griefing measures aren't just there to make it hard for pirates, they're there to make it hard for griefers. Pirates have the unique position of performing their actions as a means to profit, and griefers and pirates are often mistaken for one another, but they are not necessarily the same thing.
I guarantee you that there will still be ways to scan out mission runners, loot the wrecks they leave, and attack them if they're in insecure space or if they're a war target.
The EVE community as a whole, especially the anti-carebears, really needs to get a grip and realize that forcing and encouraging space to be less safe is NOT an improvement. Low-sec and null-sec are great boons and wonderful gameplay mechanics, but the entire universe being insecure for players of any kind leaves the casual community living in fear, and would likely cause them to leave the game entirely.
CCP knows this. Intelligent players who understand game design know this.
Why can't the rest of you figure it out?

I'm not trying to say that anyone who is anti-carebear is stupid, and I'm sorry I typed that last part poorly. I shall edit it to better convey my intent.
But I'd also argue that the economy of EVE is built around the sum of its parts, which includes the carebear mission runners and newbie miners. I think it's stilly to say that EVE would be better off as entirely insecure space, because the number of people playing and supporting the game would drop dramatically. And I mean both economically in game and lining CCP's pockets.
Do we need to make EVE into carebear land? No, not at all.
But adding in anti-grief measures for the players who play in highsec (Which, as some corporations have proven, isn't all that secure really) isn't going to do that.

Hear hear, now that the intelligent player base has finally arrived the rest of us should all just go away and stop being the evil griefers that we so obviously are. While we're at it we should totally add consensual pvp flags and all weapons should be changed to some sort of device that gives the target a big hug and makes them feel happy.
