    Ok, so a while back when D.O. finally caught and banned all the botters, they then went back through and deducted HUGE ammounts of EP and Honor from those who had been shooting the botters, farming player kills you can call it.

    Now, with the palladium fields and PET auto looters, people are doing exactly the same as botters but after paying Uridium for it, and players are going around getting free kills killing the AFK cloakers.... is this not the same reason why people were punished with EP and Honor deductions?!?!?

    I've always consider the pet as a legal bot,
    however     the pushing rules were modified, so that you are able to pop the same player a number of times, before loosing any reward. Then the rewards reduce until you get nothing for popping the same player in a 24 hr period. As far as I know excessive popping of the same player can still be considered as pushing.

    Yeh, u get nothing in terms of honor and EP but i believe the kill still counts so they get RP for it, and the popped constantly loosers RP and damage to drones etc?

    No, once the player stops getting ep and honor they get no rank points either, nor do the kills count towards their total.
