That, and it's impossible to effectively punish people for combat logging in a peer-to-peer game, which NeilF should well know by now, but he's so set on it that he's unwilling to listen to anyone else.
Do you care about preventing combat logging?

Don't care enough to vote.
yet you cared enough to post?!
I play in Open a lot but I'm not a PVPerj and I rarely ever see another soul in the game, so no, I don't really care that much about combat logging. But apparently people do feel it needs to be addressed. Maybe FD could address both combat logging discipline and crime and punishment all in one patch.
Though, I imagine their solution will just result in the generation of more forum threads about the same topic.

I have to admit, if I were inclined to it I probably wouldn't shout about it. Fortunately, given (and due to) the parlous state of the crime and (lack of) punishment system I play mobius so I'm not put in the position where it's a temptation - nor is it a problem there should I choose to engage in it.
You can't possibly know that.
So nice that you cared enough to post though. Thanks for engaging.
It's not impossible at all. FDev almost certainly collects telemetry data surrounding connections and combat states. Put together a metric of "combat logging %".
CL% = (total disconnects in combat state) / (all disconnects)
If your % is above a certain threshold, you get a shadow ban for a little bit. People with bad connections will have a lot of combat disconnects, but should have MORE disconnects while not in combat, so it should never become a problem.
You won't fix it the way EVE does it (ship persistence), but there are things that can be done to actually punish people, if FDev wants to put in the work.

Yes, a whole new level of apathy.

Sleepy time for me. Will drop back in 8 hours or so and see how the numbers are looking. Very interesting to see that so far we AGAIN have a 70/30 split, this is becoming far too predictable.
Night folks. Play nice.
I won't go with you there because I've seen the other side of this community, too, reasonable discussions and genuine caring for other people when the chips were down.
However I DO agree with you that the brazen bragging about cheating being tolerated on this forum is shameful. The fact that these brags are never censured in fact means they are actively condoned.
@Vorxian--I don't expect you to like anything; people ganking traders is ugly business for sure. But, it's ugly business that falls within the rules of the game. I certainly agree that if a player doesn't want to be exposed to such risk that Solo & Group are the intended solutions.
@Leo...man, sometimes I really agree with you, and sometimes I really don't. This is one of the latter times, my friend
Bad day at the office; still here. Damage mitigation on the markets causing me headaches. This thread made me see red with the reference to unnecessary losses!
Should keep work and play separate
I'm rounding up here, as i really need to go home, office is very very quiet in London now. I'm the only schmuck here.
Of all my posts the TLDR is, FDEV get some kind of fair C&P system going in OPEN as such, should combat logging be tackled? ......... Not whilst CL'ing is a symptom of a larger issue.
Now I can relax, and apologise to anyone who thinks I am a combat logger... I've never done it
FDEV can check my logs to make sure i'm not telling porky pies [hehe].....but I do have a Voice Attack rule for it!........ lol ok ok i'm running
Fellow Europeans: have a great evening!
Dear American friends; wish you a good afternoon & evening.

Afternoon? I'm on the west coast, it's still 11 a.m. here
SOOOOOO MUCH THIS, love this comment!
Indeed, and I and others have seen some of those most vocal against combat logging do it in game and even streams, a proportion of your 'enemy' may be closer to home than you think.
You sir are a fool of the highest order congrats for most stupid post of the day if not 2016
They should eat the same punishment, then. You'll get no argument out of me.
Polling a PvE heavy forum... what's the point .-.?
I have to disagree with you a bit more
Instancing issues are probably the largest single point of crashing/disconnects in the game. I think your percentage result would be very large...
i blame the gankers who kill just to ruin orther peoples day, so if combat logging brings tears to the gankers i say good

So then pretty much everyone would have a high baseline then, right? You just level set a bit higher. Problem solved.
If you're DCing 80% of the time you're in combat, that's a problem.
