I would side with CCP, except:
Mercenary: *wardec* Carebear: *dec scrape* Mercenary: This is unfair. CCP: Suck it up.
Pirate: *gank* Carebear: This is unfair. CCP: NEW RULE!
This new rule is a prime example of CCP's utter lack of consistency in enforcing the rules and dealing with exploits. We complain about dec scraping and are told to wait for Inferno. Carebears complain about the boomerang and get a new rule to protect them until Inferno patches the tactic into oblivion.
My confidence in CCP's ability to not ruin Inferno is waning fast. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |

What people fail to understand here is that this ISN'T about the boomerang ruling in itself. If you read the OP and quit trolling and playing internet badass for 30 seconds, you might actually gain some comprehension of what's at issue here.
This about CCP changing the rules to satisfy the whines of one group of players, at the expense of another group. This is about the GMs being "too busy" to enforce long-held rules on exploits, yet them adding more rules and then stating that they would make judgement calls based on "the spirit of the law" which puts a chilling effect on emergent gameplay.
Since some of you are being so deliberately dense, I'll give you some easy bullet points to read:
- The boomerang wasn't considered an exploit, now it is. It wasn't being used to evade Concord, only to delay the inevitable. The logs should show that people using this tactic always lost their ships in the end. Sounds like it's Working As Intended to me.
- The GMs previously said they were dropping the wardec exploit rules because they were overwhelmed with enforcement duties. Not so overwhelmed, it seems, to make new rules on which they must act.
- Possibly the most worrisome is the statements made by GMs that they intend to enforce rules based on arbitrary guidelines where people who innovate run the risk of crossing invisible lines. It gives the impression that the NEXT boomerang could get you in trouble retroactively: if they decide that what you did needs a new rule, you get in trouble for actions you took prior to the existence of the rule.
I'm tired of CCP's blatant favoritism toward the hapless, obstinate carebear who refuses to accept risk. That's not how Eve was when I came here, and it's not what's going to keep me interested in the game. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |

Only if you think a person should go to jail for committing a crime BEFORE it was a crime. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy.
