PvP An Investigation Into Frontier's Actions on Combat Logging, Part 2

I still don't understand why the so-called victims of combat logging actually care, so someone pulls the plug on you... whatever?
I've had a couple of characters log on me and I laughed. A win is a win.

Maybe, or maybe FDEV are just better at identifying SDC's false reports.
I don't think it needs a deep understanding of the psyche, it's enough that it bothers them (just as other behaviours bother different people) and it's a solvable problem. It's against the rules, even if you don't consider it that, it's not in the spirit of the game. It's using an out of game mechanism to solve an in-game problem (another example would be stream sniping).
I can certainly understand this perspective. It does feel a little bit like that doesn't it - consequences for destroying CMDRs have been so light while the impact is almost entirely felt by the victim, it's not really surprising that some would resort to combat logging. I find switching to solo or private a better option personally.
Oh you know me, I've been riddled with flame and salt alike for my time on this forum.
Only broke down once, and never again.
They bite the bullet. ED's netcode is written for PvE, cooperative gameplay where it doesn't really matter if someone disconnects forcefully. That type of netcode is easier since it doesn't have to deal with people actively trying to mess with it, just normal network behavior, and it was probably chosen to make the initial release deadline before the kickstarter money ran out. So like most other issues in ED, what we're dealing with is a placeholder.
Oh dear, I see. Thanks.
The best is you are not right because it does not matter a report is true or false.
If CLogged was done then punish should be made, no matter who did it
And it that case, reports was true. Clogg was done on other player.

Thank you for honouring my humble request.
It's more of a "wah".

It was a faked prearranged combat log just to justify another false report.
However FDEV came to the conclusion it was a load of rubbish doesn't matter (and they won't reveal it) what matters is they correctly assessed it as a load of rubbish.
Yep. Elite is PvE-focused, with PvP basically just an added extra, not a focus. This is why I believe a PvP flag of some form would have been a better option - there'd still be those who act the at and those who would cheat/combat log, but at least we'd have the extra tool at player level to defeat those behaviours (without needing effort at Frontier's end to investigate combat logs). Still, they did incorporate solo and private modes so there is that. Just as PvEers have had to resort to private groups, including Mobius, to avoid ats, maybe it's about time PvPers also got just as coordinated into a PvP private group to avoid combat loggers (they could impose their own bans on offenders that way). Oh wait, that doesn't work for PvP here does it, for some reason.....

The 3-4x weekly "Open vs Solo/PG" posts that used to be in here which always seemed to boil down to that the "safe spaces" were bleeding Open of players and breaking the game.
Very nice work! This nonsense needs to be addressed by Fdev. Allowing blatant cheating is a disgrace.
Indeed....ironic isn't it.

Stig, based on their inability to prevent or plug exploits the community have told them about, in some cases for months, thats some top tier clutching at straws.
Unless of course it affects the preferred player groups, in which case stuff seems to get fully (or at least partially) fixed overnight.
