Not to defend the position but attack people in open people WILL combat log (if they don't want to fight, run etc) could be equally applied. FD have no intention of fixing that or inversely the C&P so it "is what is is" applies there too.
Just playing devils advocate here, I have not experienced either side yet but as an observer I can see both.
The difference is, is that no matter what, the guy just engaging players is NEVER cheating. (Unless they're running shield hacks, but that's a completely separate discussion)
Loggers, the pull-out-the-cable kind, are.
Thus, I have more sympathy for mindless gankers than I do C-loggers.
And you're new here, so I'm going to tell you something you likely won't know about me.
I used to be care-bear #1 on the Xbox forums.
Since exposing myself to the plight that PvP players are enduring, I had to jump ship. PvP NEEDS to be improved.
Aand yes, I do support a better C&P system. I now WANT to be forced to go on the run from the law, for crime to be tougher. It would take more skill that way, which I enjoy.
