yes giving up is always an option

How is blocking griefers giving up ?, they present no threat beyond being very boring indeed.
If you want to get people back into open spread the good word about block, the more players who use block the less content there is for griefers and they will hopefully leave the game.
Landing at full speed in a DD5 engineered courier is a challenge, hanging round the letterbox hoping to ram someone not so much.
Ah not really!..I see it much more like valet parking....I can whizz in with a beaten up ship, watch a little ship go splat on the windshied(which is always fun) and get autodocked after a pretty light show. I don't even have to look for a parking space. Next thing I know..I have a shiny new ship, engineered modules and all. All for small tip of course.
I guess it's all perspective, some people think valet parking is extortion.
PS Of course I feel sorry for all those nice expensive ships trying to dock with no valet service available whilst I'm hogging their services parking my clunkers.

If one of my dogs gets a tick, I don’t just leave it there - I remove it.
Same goes for any other parasite.
The block function is just another parasite removal tool.
To be perfectly fair if you are speeding and get rammed its your own fault.. now if said rammer was using a buddy with force shells then you have room to complain, other than that I don't see the issue... sure its not nice but its rule and you are given the choice to follow it, if you don't just like anything else you run the risk of paying the price for it.
But the cable pull or task kill is not an exploit. Because: "If it was an exploit you would have expected FDEV to have stepped in immediately."
Referring to players as a "parasite" damn... the language got strong fast!
Come on ziggy you know this by now! its only patched if it makes the grind any better!

Oh, only to a (hopefully) very small subset. The kind that just take and don’t give anything back. Parasite seems to be a rather apt description.
I've never lost a ship to the station griefers even pre speed limit, as they are not very good pilots. Which probably explains why they hang around the letterbox trying to get "kills". I've got 11 of them blocked though, recently there was a mysterious drop to 9. I think a couple got themselves perma'd.
They don't offer anything I want in my game so I just bung them into block, everyone should do it.
I am sure they really care.

Indeed. Knowing that the block function is allowing players to arrive and depart without being harassed seems to frustrate them even more than group and solo doing the same thing.
Oddly it's the following me around groaning that I once started a thread about blocking that has brought the most attention to blocking based on rep and PM's received for the thread.
What challenge, do you mean the time you said you and your mates were hunting me and I told you where I was and what I was flying and you immediately claimed to have lost all interest ?.
To be honest I didn't find it that challenging.
He wasn’t boasting about anything, he was very matter-of-fact about it.
You don’t boast about removing a tick. You just remove it and forget about it.
Thanks a lot! That was me losing focus, but top advice!
