If I recall correctly the only way to kill them inside the building when you are outside is with a bomb?

That or go in the building to kill them, if they don't kill you first. Bombing them works, IF  you get the right building.

The very Idea of Shane shaming anyone in this game is a joke.  You know how I learned how to get into a building and shoot from them?  By having my butt shot of by other tank drivers hiding in those buildings.  I didn't cry or whine about it, I learned how to counter it and do it myself as well.  As long as we are at a point in the game where everyone can do it, to call it cheating is a straight up whine.

Actually, I call it exactly what it is - exploiting.  It's more than easy to do the right thing - do you now possess sufficient shame to change your ways? Will you?

"In essence, cheating involves dishonest behavior with the intent to gain an unfair advantage, often by violating rules or norms. Exploiting, on the other hand, typically involves taking advantage of a flaw or loophole in a system, often without violating explicit rules, but still potentially creating an unfair advantage."

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

That, is a false equivalence.

Lutrel, that is simply self justification. Hopefully it will be a moot point soon.

If you don't see how people gaming a glitch will detour new folks, in an already time consuming game... this might not be the thread to be posting in.

I've posted this in other threads... some of the remaining players here are the games worst enemy, until the means of being a dweeb are taken away from them.  Especially with numbers on the lower side.  Nerds being nerds are significantly more noticeable.

A bug being exploited is an issue with the game not the player exploiting it. Some players here will just blindly worship the game as if it has no issues though.

Why doesn't HT fix it?
The longer the game permits it to be done, the more players will consider it a legit feature and join in.
I don't GV much and I don't think the building thing is okay. But if HT thinks it's okay...and more and more players think it's okay...then this is the new virtual world and let's live with it.

I will leave the game before I "Live with it". I will continue to try and get the changes done that will prevent ANYONE from getting in the buildings. :rock

Yup. Ord only though. Guns will activate killshooter.
