I mean, i'm sorry we disagree, but the standard way to handle this is to come to the forums and make ccp state whether or not there will be repercussions for using such a tactic.

normally, anything that's available within the game mechanics is allowed. even if it's frowned upon.

Still Kobrah a bet is a bet.

Are you the Kobrah from the Dark Souls forums? The generation before mine. If so honour is honour, they may not fight your honourably, but if you hold to your code then you can stand above them.

If not that probably sounds like some wanky self righteous bullshit, considering I was the biggest Gravelording Douchebag in DKS and created a User Covenant just to troll the living **** out of player in the most difficult areas.....

If someone used a glitch to instantly wipe out half a fleet in an EVE tournament, do you think CCP would let that fly? Yeah, no
CCP allows griefing, but not game breaking glitches in official matches.

When most other games have point blank killers such as CoD's knifing, its not that bad of an exploit, I mean, you're an idiot to let the guy/gal get that close. Its not much different than a breach shotgun or a nova knifing in hands of a player that can get in that range. Melee aim assist is pretty broken (as in not working) and this exploit comes at the cost of almost all the user's stamina making them vulnerable to getting shot after the first victim.

Overall since CCP can't hotfix, prove, nor enforce it that easily without so much as a master cluster @#% of a mess I opt the do nothing approach until its fixed with a patch.

However I am just a CPM, I cannot decide for CCP, I have express my concerns about the exploit's use in the tournament having negative community impact to CCP, and honestly if you really felt it was game breaking you should have taken it to urgent fury as they're more capable of disqualifications and for matters like that Kane Spearow is your CPM man in trying to talk that mess out.

As a final word I doubt the individual using the exploit single handedly won the entire match and the individuals named so far I know would have torn your posterior a new one without the exploit at all with similar or just was bad weapons at their disposal.

You want a real exploit talk to me when people start flying around without jetpacks and infinite ammo exploits or guns firing railgun shots.

And Yes I know this is bait to make me, the CPM, or CCP bad but err on the side of caution there is your response basically telling you that you are just about too late, after the fact, and not enough stink was raised when you could have. If you want to deal with it, your fight just got that much harder, good luck but I got bigger fish to fry and I am glad for one that train wreck of a tournament is over. I know its sad that other more serious complaints about the game drowned out the initial petition off the forums but that only tells me the guys effected by it were not interested enough to keep attention to the issue. Threadnaughts are your friends when used right and your worst enemy when used wrong.

TL:TR

You suck if melee exploit kill you
CCP Don't give a ****
Too late in the game to QQ
CCP/UF tournament was ****
Guys don't give a **** and are your enemy
You need to HTFU


yeah this is so the Dust forums.

Didn't bother understanding.

Eh, if it wasn't the melee glitch I'm sure it would have been mass drivers, forge guns or grenades that caused you to lose 'unfairly'.

Oh I had something real snarky but knowing you guys you'll be too asinine to understand the intent of message and would have use the message to attack with it so it be better off letting you guys wonder what the snarky response would have been.

I don't see how CPMs can ever matter after the terrible precedent IWS has set in regards to so many issues presented to him over the months. You might as well let troll alts be CPMs. Whether or not it's ok for Proto melee modules to be as strong as they are, it's demonstrably broken when paired with that glitch. It's obviously very different from nova knives and breach shotguns.

CPM is nothing more then a forum tag.

it means nothing and IWS is the only one who even still plays.

at this point its just a "guy with an overinflated sence of importance" tag


no offence IWS... but can you get back to work at creating the system to elect CPM members so we can replace you and make the tag matter again?

Heinrich and Kain still play...

IWS just walked into a flame trap.

im a farily active player, a bit of a forum warrior and pretty good at the game.

i couldnt tell you the names of the CPM other then IWS and novaknife...


that doesnt exactly inspire confidence in their engagement with the community.

Where have you been, Moody? I'll need to talk to you soon...

Hey you owe rampage 500mill for that bet. Just saying..

Lots of scrubs in here defending an exploit. I'm not saying you're not good players; just saying only scrubs defend the use of exploits.
