Everyone is given the same resources as each other. If you don't choose to use one system because whatever may your reason be you shouldn't penalise other people for wanting to use the systems you don't agree with.

It's fairly obvious the developers did not intend for people to play the game by ramming walls with a LAV in a safe area and calling down repeated orbital strikes with the points from repairing the LAV. I don't care much personally because the rampant exploitation only hastens the fix, but to act like what these people are doing is fine and they they shouldn't be penalized is pretty silly.

I understand this is a beta but the same people boosting on this game have been doing it for a while on everything they play. We need a way to report and penalize these people. Maybe a isk penalty against. the corp or a sp cutoff for a few days.

Lol, you call it a "resource".
Be a man and own up to your exploitation. Don't insult the rest of us trying to rationalize your selfishness.

I can't believe people would actually defend Boosting. It's unfair to the enemy team that is getting constantly bombarded by foes they can't hurt, and it's unfair to the teammates who have to fight the battle minus one squad. Not to mention getting reduced SP and ISK rewards because their "contribution" to the total WP pales in comparison to the boosters'.

They're slowing down the skill progression of people who are actually trying the game while speeding up their own. In a couple days, assuming they can ever tear themselves away from Austin Powers-ing LAVs into walls, they'll be riding around in prototype tanks with nothing to fear but the orbital strikes of competing boosters.

If I didn't know better, I'd say they were intentionally sabotaging the game's community. (In reality: thank goodness this became such a rampant problem now instead of after release.)

Sorry, I'm the sort of dumb person who'd guess you were talking about booster SP packs. I'll shut up now.


You know, it's alright in a person being wrong and then sticking up for yourself but it gets very kiddish when you start hurling words and phrases around like "be a man". I got it noobishly wrong, I made a noobish mistake. Now I bet you're nowhere near man enough to accept and admit to it like I am, so don't start that attitude with me.

At this point there is no valid defense of LAV/Forge Gun SP farming.

Claiming that self induced damage repair is a "valid resource" to be mined as if it were ore deliberatetly placed in asteroids by the the dev's is to insult the intelligence of everyone here. It's an exploit and everyone knows it.

So yes, claiming an exploit as a legitimate resourse is a childish thing to do.

Go ahead and be selfish, just don't try to pass it off as anything but selfish.

EVE is unfair, those who adapt and do any means necessary win! There are systems in the game that ppl just don't use, and then there are people who take full advantage. It sounds like the ppl refusing to use those systems are whinners and IDIOTS who have some kind of e-honor. And whine that they are falling behind when the know perfectly well that they can do the same and prosper.

HTFU.

They're doing this with forge guns? Does that mean friendly fire is applying to splash damage on vehicles? That seems like a bug.


Check the first part of his post. He misunderstood and thought you were talking about augmentations, like the implants you can buy for aurum on the market. Let it go.

Also, shameless self-promotion of a different thread about the same thing:

There are so many threads, I just want to make sure people are seeing one another's ideas. And I think this idea will help a lot.

And yes, the new technique is to dispense with the LAV. Just place a defend order on a Forge Gunner, toss hives at his feet and have him shoot at his feet. The splash damages him but not his teamates. They also get SP and WP for the resupply.

You know, you're absolutely correct.
I have been wrong and short sighted.

Let's all head into Skirmish and wash our LAV's under cover. With enough practice we might become as "Hardened Up" as all those folks who play Farmville(tm) on fb.
