So I just came out of a game where a couple of guys (I won't name names), seemed to have found a way to, I presume, grind SP, by repeatedly crashing a dropship into a ceiling by the spawn point whilst another repairs it.
Legitimate tactic? Cheating exploit? Shut up Hawk and mind your own business? |

Back in the previous build, when you could choose what server you wanted to join, people would join empty games, call down tanks, and shoot each other whilst repairing themselves. Some of the people that had the top of the leaderboards were in those games, though I won't state who. This is just what happens when you make games that require large amounts of time to skill to a high level, people exploit things. |

Ha, that's funny because I bought a repair gun just to farm SP, too. When the blob gets rolling repairing nets more points faster than assists. Never thought about beating on a vehicle though. Either way the game will wipe and corporations and contracts won't really leave room for this kind of play I would think. |

I wouldn't have minded so much but because they were so obvious about it everyone started crowding round to watch, and nobody left the spawn area. The enemy took all the control points and we started getting base raped. I decided to run off alone and solo took all 3 points, but they each got retaken pretty quick and I eventually got hunted down as I started to draw attention leaving each area. |

Perhaps there can be diminishing returns on SP gained from the same vehicle.. Though that'd punish teamwork. Perhap SP is gained by repairing a vehicle that actively gets kills or moves around a large portion of the map.... |

The easy fix is to give zero points for repairing self inflicted damage or teammate damage, and only give points for repairing damage caused by the enemy. |

They must have spent the whole night doing it because I saw presumably the same pair of regular high end HAV drivers doing it in 2 consecutive matches not so long ago.
Glad they got a crowd in you match ... at least more people know how they get their points now their toys have been taken out of the pram. |

I've seen you fly when you're not messing about and I can say for sure you don't need lessons, you should be giving them if anything.
It was Sha flying and Tyas repairing I saw and it ruined both matches for the rest of the team to be 2 mercs down the entire match while you farmed points ... out of interest and for the benefit of the rest of the class ... How many skill points each do the 2 of you have this build with the HAVs and the repair farming ?
Seriously next time he asks ... tell him to grow up ! |

CCP has experience dealing with this sort of thing. Goonswarm, regardless of what you think of them, has worked with CCP in determining the LP loophole that existed in the Faction Warfare system for Eve Online and thus helped CCP patch it with their reports on the loopholes. If the Goons are willing to do that for Eve's betterment, I'm pretty certain they will do the same for Dust's betterment. |

i noticed you could do this with an lav but I don't play a game to find ways to obstruct the system. Set a defend order on your lav and use it as a mobile order to get bonus sp.... only works when you have a compitent squad to help you as squad leader only gets squad commision... i refuse to crash a dropship and repair... thats kind of boring ccp sounds like you should fix repair damage from collisions being people are abusing the system |

They're very big on continuation of the game. Hell, they pretty much own all the technetium and they've been harping at CCP for quite awhile to fix moon mining. What's funny is tons of people scream that they're trying to kill it. But, at the same time every new big event they start or get involved in makes headlines and more people find out about EvE and then end up playing. The idea that they want to kill EvE is bogus and straight bull doodoo. |

Terrible, have you flown a dropship or landed one for that matter? Ran an LAV into something on accident? That would make it so no one wants to help.

i agree. that seems to be the best solution.
course once you can setup custom contracts, then that could be abused. get your alt on the other side..or a buddy. and there you go.
The nice thing about eve's time based skill points, can't exploit them. so player skill is more important. no one can get super far ahead with the same playing time like in dust as it is now.
here the rewarded skill points is too high over the daily passive. so people that do stuff like that get really really far ahead. If the most you could earn was say 25% over the passive then exploits wouldn't be a big deal. Now in one match your skill points earned can be more then what you earn passively in a whole day. In one day of good player can earn months worth of skill points.
