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.
Yer lucky...every time I expose myself I get arrested...
I hate to say this but the plight of the pvprs? By and large, pvp and open mode has been ruined by the pvp groups who dont give a squat and kill with unbridled glee. Not all pvp players are like this, but others are...in this respect, the plight of open players has been self inflicted.
Ye fish the same pond over and over, dont be surprised when the stocks dry up.
There is some fantastic role playing pirates in open...Im friends with a few of them because they came over from different games, but even they will tell ye that genuine pirates are the minority and its really just role playing anyway. The hobby of already established players, unless a 150m ship robbing someone fer 25k sounds like the guy is rolling in it?
Like exploration, piracy itself is a hugely under developed part of the game. But however...
On topic...the guy menu logged because he didnt fancy his chances...he didnt pull the cable ergo he did not break any rule. Just like killing fer no reason isnt breaking any rules either...cant have yer cake and eat it. Leaving a combat situation in open...fair enough, so long as rules arent being broken. As to whether or not he should be in open at all...thats not fer anyone here to say any more than someone saying they think solo and pg is a perfectly legitimate mode of play. Of course they are, they are as much a part of the game that open is with the developers stating that all modes were equal.
Not everyone who wants to play with other people want pvp...doesnt matter if anyone thinks they should just accept it or not, thats why menu logging exists. Thats not gonna change anytime soon no matter how much ye dont like it ^
