Combat logging ban in solo?

[Asp Explorer]

Don't combatlog, just kill the connection with the other player by use of a network program

And when watchdog.exe notices that - I expect FD to fill their lulzbucket

To be fair the players that have been banned have had their accounts removed entirely, at least according to them...nothing to do with which mode they were in. Apparently breaking the EULA/TOS led to a perma ban.

I very much doubt "combat logging" would ever lead to a perma ban though. FD seem to take harassment of players and other toxic activities way more seriously than exploiting game mechanics, as it should be.

Until one of the affected players posts the official FD notification, i will consider that hearsay.

Until one of the affected players posts the official FD notification here, i will consider that hearsay.

Not definite but pretty sure the banned player did exactly that when it happened, mods removed it but it stayed up on reddit.

Either way that is a bit offtopic...i'd say -almost for sure- that combat logging in solo would not lead to a ban. Combat logging is not even mentioned in the EULA/ToS compared to other actions which could lead to a ban (harassment/racism/homophobic language has its own paragraph) so it would be very difficult for FD to act on it.

The issue I have with the whole combat logging stigma is that it's only the griefer cry-babies who are offended by it. Mature, sensible players either don't care or don't immediately jump to the conclusion that the person is trying to cheat (because it isn't cheating).

When Frontier do something about those who grief and gank and gang up on players "because they can", then I'll give a fig about players exiting the game by the supposed "combat logging" method.
