TBH Ive always though that having an offensive capability on a utility point is a bit of a design anomaly, and design anomalies often lead to unintended consequences.

When you obtain docking clearance your guns have to be stowed.
After obtaining clearance if you un-stow your guns then docking clearance is cancelled and the station can unleash the dogs!

Sadly, this. As for all the "breaking the mold" and doing things differently from everyone else, FD have copied forum rules 1 by 1 from Blizzard.
That's happens when you let people keep their exploited credits and assets, boredom can be great motivation to test the game limits and find these exploits.
But hey... like they said you can be anything, a bounty hunter, explorer, trader, exploiter, its all your own destiny!

Maybe it's how some peoples brains are wired but I have thought about `a station blind spot` where I might wreak havoc
Like you say it's a game and about having fun. Picking on people by raising a ticket or naming and shaming is worse IMHO.
If someone exploits `in game` then the solution should also be `in game`.
Blizzard wasn't like that, they banned my entire guild. Read my earlier post
I'm sorry, I can't understand you, your horse is too high.
I was only talking about forum policies, not in game.. but.....
Good for them! Taking out some of the most toxic griefers for good, like you and your merry band, definitely kudos to Blizzard there. Too bad they sold out.

...but with everyones weapons stowed the PDTs wont get triggered.
Your opinion is fair enough. So what is your solution, then, for having a 5 million credit bounty in all Federation space with the intention of having a similar number in both Empire and Alliance? Simply never dock at 80% of the stations in the galaxy? What about smuggling?
Avoiding scans is easily done, but even a seasoned and experienced smuggler like myself sometimes gets scanned for one reason or another. For that 1 in 100 chance occurance, I would like to have something to fall back on to give me at least a chance to survive if I'm fast enough in my reactions.
Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying. Fix it, obviously, and fix it fast. But don't cancel my docking permission just for defending myself.
The term "griefing" is subjective. What you call "griefing" is what I call "playing a game". If I beat you in poker and take $500 dollars from you, did I just grief you? Or, did I beat you at a game?
Why do you play games if you fear losing? Does playing a game where you win every single time make you feel better about yourself? Because if it does then you have more problems than me or my guild does.
We didn't exploit because we wanted to be smart, we exploited because it was FUN! Big difference.
Blizzard also banned us after our 4th week on the server, and our guild had around 40 members.
Personally i don't play ED to win or lose. I play it to relax after a hard day at work. If i wanted a game where i could "win" i'd play another game. There isn't much of an element of win or lose in ED at all. I think this is what gets some people worked up. They feel a need to prove themselves.
There is that thing one could call honorable action, like not doing something even if you could because you feel that it is outside the rules. But i guess that is an alien concept to you.
So you cheat playing cards. What else?
Of course it is, it's an emotional affair, which by definition is always a subjective term. I merely applaud Blizzard for doing the right thing here and banning you, because you killed people while avoiding the guards over and over, because it is my subjective belief that players like you do any multiplayer game more harm than good, and showing you the door is generally the best option.
And you reading statements into my posts that frankly are not there is a poor attempt at strawman.
BTW, is it just me or do all those who don't like combat have jobs that sucks, because they always need to relax so badly after a very, very, hard, hard day at work? Just some pattern I did notice, the pvp players come from work and enjoy the action too, but they do not complain about their work and their dire need to relax that often. Different in mentality or just coincidence?
