Does ED favor griefing/exploits?

Im guessing so, since they just deleted that video thread with the evidence. I guess you can get away with anything? No offence meant, just my personal opinion. I love ED, hate people who ruin it for others..

Their official stance is that killing someone in multiplayer is not griefing (source). Pretty much like almost every multiplayer videogame in the history of the world.

Hmm, it wasn't naming and shaming, it was YouTube links, and the person in question coming in to defend himself/gloat/goad.

Still think we should have a thread called "combat logging showcase" where people can post video evidence of witnessed combat logs so they are all in one place for FD to investigate, and we get a great popcorn playlist.

I'd just clicked on page two and it was gone. There were 11 pages when I started reading (but watching the videos took a long time). I wonder how many pages were there when it was deleted. Not read anything but the first post on this thread yet. I hope I can get to the end of this one...

You'll find the video where he was said to be ALT+f4 logoffsky had his name visible in the target reticule and left corner of the HUD... it was thus naming and shaming.
 
I think it demonstrates that even if you provide hard evidence that somebody is exploiting/griefing, that Frontier aren't interested, and would rather brush it under the carpet,

RIP any hope of them fixing it then.

Whether a name was shown or not - that doesn't actually alter the reality of what's going on does it, and it certainly isn't someone just making up accusations without any grounds - it was there for all to see, is still there - and is on other forums and reddit..

This isnt the place to provide your evidence - the ticket system is there for that.
 
Favor? I wouldn't say so

Just possible through bad design. Griefing is almost a by product of bad design, espicially in a game where there is hard-coded options available. In real life you cant program a human to not kill another human, but in a game you can through invuln, not to say that is a good option itself, just all the other problems in this game contribute to that style of game.
 
In any case... this:

<snip>

First things first: we do consider this an undesirable exploit. It’s not “part of the game”.

Because we don’t have an all powerful server running the moment-to-moment game play simulation, there is no infallible arbiter to take control of a player’s ship when they ungracefully exit.

So what we’re doing is logging telemetry that will help us detect when this exploit is explicitly being used.

Right now, all we’re doing (and have already started doing) is looking at and implementing methods of collecting and analysing data.

At some point, however, we will start to take action against Commanders using this exploit. I can only suggest that you should avoid using this exploit if you want to avoid any penalties issued for its use. I'll just repeat: please avoid combat logging - we're taking this issue very seriously.
<snip>

I would say that FDev are keeping it close to their chest and DuckGooseChickenWalnut Logoffski and anyone related to him take note: You are probably already on the naughty list and Santa will eventually land his sleigh on your game. Keep it up, fur ball. :D
 
The servers are down, none of you even know if they've done anything about it. But, oh no, let's flame FD AGAIN, knee jerk reactions are always the best!

Chill out, wait and see.
 
Suspecting that it simply degenerated into a "waah waah" on both sides, and hence was worse than just a pointless thread, but was destructive in its content.
