What does this have to do with Elite? As I said, Overwatch is a game that should be free of griefers (no friendly-fire). But where there is a will, there is a way. At least in Elite, most griefers are playing within the rules of the game.

Note... this is not my opinion...... BUT I do think you have a double standard going on here.

IF we take that in ED in Open ANYTHING goes which is mechanically within the rules of the game that is not using a hack or clearly unintended glitch of the game. ... and this is the general accepted view of some of the PvPers.

then the same logic works for the twerps you found in overwatch.

emojis are a supported feature of the game, who are you to say when and where a player should use them. Those players are no more or no less of a prat than many of the emergent content creators in ED if you look at it like that.


Like I said, this is not really my opinion but it is the same logic used to defend an "anything goes in open" view.

Just a question on being penalised for 'excessive disconnects', what about when someone is menu logging? I was at Dave's Hope the other day and probably menu logged every two minutes there for a while to generate new mats. Not very sporting I know, but reading up on Dave's Hope here in the forums that is what was recommended. (Must admit, not something I would do again, found the whole process rather tedious and eventually went back to hunting USS's - much more fun).

Just food for thought, if disconnects are recorded then a lot of activities would have to change in this game, not just griefing ......

1) FD have stated menu logging is accepted practice, is not considered cheating and wont be punished.

2) if menu logging is acceptable it is acceptable, if it is exploiting it is exploiting....... technically if someone was to argue menu logging to escape blowing up is cheating, but that they used menu logging to artificially accelerate collecting materials or other rewards in the game, then i would suggest there are some double standards going on.

Personally i think menu logging is horrible gameplay - I have done it myself very rarely to refresh an instance - imo it is lame, it is exploiting and i wish FD would fix it - both by stopping it "working" and my changing the game mechanics to somewhat remove any need to do it.

but it isnt my game, So I go with the view that menu logging is poor gameplay but it isnt cheating.

You must have heard about a heartstone player saying he wants to ''liberate Hong Kong'', and in turn, he lost his place in the tournament and he lost his prize money.
All becouse Tencent owns a part of the company. Like i said: Blizzard likes chinese money more than freedom. No offense for you, i just wanted to clarify.

I did not know about that. Blizzard hasn't gotten any of my money for a very long time.

There are rules in ED that govern PvP but gankers are well known for ignoring the rules

Who goes back in time and resurrects these old threads? Just curious. I haven't played Overwatch since buying my gaming PC (I refuse to buy it twice). Now when Red Dead 2 comes to PC, that'll be a different story!

Oh no, another griefing thread. If players want to kill other players let them. ED is already sedate enough without thinking up more ways to hobble p v p game play. And no, I don't want another explanation about consensual and non-consensual p v p. I mean really... "you may shoot me now", "ok, thanks".
