I'll like to point in this whole discussion about combat logging. That there's a big difference between PvP, and getting griefed. I understand that if two CMDR's are in a PvP-sequences, where they both "go for it", and one of the CMDR's discovers that he can't kill the orther CMDR, and he combat logs, because he can't make it. In that case I don't think that combat logging. is acceptable nether.

But griefing is a whole other thing. Here you have a victim, there getting harassed by a most likely overpowered CMDR there's likely to just want to feel special, and/or show that he got an big "Anaconda" between his legs. They go for the weak, - people they know that have no chance at defeating them. They don't ask for a fight, and aren't set up for PvP. And yet they get killed, only to bolst someones ego. It think that in that case that it's acceptable to combat log.

So for them who say that you should accept it, because that's how real life is. Imagine that you go outside on the street and, are getting attacked unprovokedly. To have that opinion, would be to say, that you should just accept getting killed, well knowing that if you fled/combat logged, you'll survive. Wouldn't you flee if you know that was you only way to survive an attack you didn't ask for? Not that I say Elite should be as in real life, but still. And if you do survive the attack, you'll just get your ears full, about you shouldn't do it. And getting told, that, that is just what you get for going outside; don't go outside if you don't want to get killed. In the meantime the person who attacked, and almost killed you, get a slap over his fingers, and a raised finger. - Like you do to an six year old, when you find him having his fingers down in the cookie jar. That's how unbalanced things are atm. After my opinion.

To make it short: In PvP - combat logging - not acceptable. When getting griefed - combat logging - acceptable.
