If you flag for PvP, then try to unflag (the legit way), you have to wait like 5 minutes without combat, right? How about if you enter a Pacification Zone flagged, when you leave, your are reflagged? Or, if you type /pvp to prepare to unflag right before entering a Pacification Zone, your 5 minute wait timer will pick up right where you left off when you exit, assuming you leave before the timer would be up.I hope that came out right and can be understood, it was hard to put into words.
Which would be implemented on the hostile servers as well, I'm not prepared to get Death Effect every time I wander in and out of a pacification zone, also it would be difficult during event times since the Death Effect will make players be 15% weaker as they start the fighting part of the event (assuming there is a fighting part after a pacification zone)
Somewhere, I've gotten the impression that exploits are defined by the devs as actions players take to increase the amount of information/$ they get beyond what is usual and predictable. If that is the case, and I could be wrong, then what is described here about using pacification zones is not an exploit.
Granted it's irritating to anyone who is pvping to get sniped and have not chance of revenge against the sniper. This discussion however reminds me of the rant about people who HJ from pvp when an opponent, or the opposing team targets them and their health begins to decrease. That debate raged for a very long time, was never solved and imo never will be.
People have different sytles in playing. I have this picture in my mind of the real person behind the "jumper" or the "sniper" sitting at their computer going "HA I gottcha," and then delighting in escaping,
Their money, their choice how to play. Short of never getting involved in pvp, this stuff will happen. My advice. Get over it, Have fun! If you can't stand the people who "jump" and "snipe" if they ruin your fun pvping, find something else that is fun and do it.
There's always farming (sarcasm). BTW Read the recent Recursion event posted in live events. Ookomi took some people "hunting" as opposed to "farming." Looks like a fun event.
In all honesty, it sounds like someone is complaining because they are at a disadvantage in PvP because another person is using a system exactly how it was supposed to be used. Pacification Zones, pacifying all PvP flags. I think the only reason you want it to be officially declared and exploit is so that you can turn around and shout "zomg exploits" every time you let a sniper LotS/Firearms you while you stand there helpless.
You see, people in PvP have generally accepted a "honor code" if you will. The whole, "if you HJ you're a coward" or "lol u heals, u r noob" and even this Pacification Zone drama. Perhaps people need to start realizing that game mechanics are game mechanics, and to treat people condescendingly for using game mechanics that suddenly place the former at a disadvantage because the latter isn't abiding by this "honor code", well I just find that a bit silly.
Call it cheap, call it exploits, but these are things you can do just as proficiently as the next person. All's fair in love and war, right?

So i done this for the first time yesterday... (only to show some wee bam that has been hiding, blue sniping then high tailing it to deflag, that i can do the same.)
For those of you that says it ain't an exploit, shame on yous. It says that normal pvp rules apply once you leave, in my opinion that is a bug then if you don't flag back up upon leaving.
Find a work about for it like maybe the way it says it should work. Until then i suppose i'll need to warn the hippies that do this cheap tactic and CCR one of the biggest wimps i'v saw (suppose thats the good thing about non hostile, i will actually be able to figure out how to send in a CCR lol)
I've seen that used/abused so many times at Mara C. it's now just normal to the pvp. In one way or another I will kill them.
