i really hope there is TKing just for this, cant tell you how many times im laying down suppressive fire with my MD and about to get some kills out of the exchange when blue balls McGee over there jumps in front of me steals my kill and the splash damage off of his shield ends up hurting me or worse once killing me.

Now when said jerkoff jumps in my way he dies in all the noob glory he deserves.

I think if you kill an ally, your security status should go down, and if you kill an ally in high security, concord locks your dropsuits, and kills the clone inside with an override code. You're then barred from spawning back in for X amount of time, given a warning that further hostile actions will not be tolerated. and if you do it again, they slaughter your clone, and boot you from the game. Do it enough times, and you'll be placed on a cooldown to get back into matchmaking, that just goes up and up and up the more you do it (in high security. Low and Null, quit being a ***** and get with the times).

Also, as your security status goes down, you wouldn't even be allowed into high security (granted, this system wouldn't work perfectly at the moment because we only have access to high sec at the moment, but in the grand scheme of things)

In addition, some sort of system should be devised (significantly easier said than done lol) that tries to filter out accidental friendly fire, primarily from idiot friendlies who just wander into the fray, heedless of their surroundings.

I think the best solution would be to have a report system in game. If a person is reported x amount of time for being a griefer and the devs confirm it by checking the logs, then that person will have their IP permanently banned from the game. This way they can't just make another PSN account to do it all over again.

Plus if it's well known that people can be perma-banned by their IP from the game, then there is going to be a lot less that will do it just from that alone.

TKing will have much higher risks than many believe. All these calls for penalties just shows me that many people lack critical thinking. When FF goes live and you get intentionally TKed, how about you just remember who it is so you can gank them whenever you see them or even, *gasp* dare I suggest it, offer a reward for confirmed TK kills against the person who Intentionally TKed you to a state of QQ.

This will never ever happen in New Eden . EVER !!!!!!

Why not? Because griefing is part of the experience of EVE, or because the devs won't do it? If it's the latter then it just hurts their game letting people get away with it. I mean say somebody is running a pure AUR fit and they get Tked by a griefer, well that is real money lost right there.

otherwise, griefers.

no joke here guys. an isk penalty is not enough, a warpoint penalty is not enough. i want teamkillers booted from the game outright. EDIT: maybe i should clarify this bit. i mean booted out of the MATCH right then and there, and prevented from rejoining matchmaking for some amount of time. not necessarily banned from the entirety of dust 514. this limits the amount of damage they can actually do. there could even be a "forgive" option for the victim.

it's free to play, there is literally no barrier to entry. any 15 y/o Codfan can hop on and troll. oh no he lost isk? oh no he has a reputation as a teamkiller? oh no he got no sp? why would a griefer care? the games free... psn IDs are free. he'll make a new one and do it again. they need to be mitigated right then and there.


this doesn't need to apply to corp battles, as i could see sneaking a backstabber into the enemy corp as part of the metagame, but it should apply to any game mode where the teams are not up to the participants.

i think the response to teamkillers should be player led, for example Shijima Kuraimaru said this

Had some noob try to ghost me last night with his LAV, but for some odd reason it only partially hurt me. Is there now degrees of damage done by being run over with LAV's?


As for how to deal with these turkeys, I'm not entirely sure. A vote to kick option is out the window for sure, as I could imagine envious teammates kicking those that are doing better than them (or perhaps they got dominated by that player in a previous match and want revenge).
