Hmm, Im not that satisfied with that vehicle fix, but I guess the developers aren't too.
From that change I would say LEd Vehicles were exploited too much to let that state continue. - I think I read some combination of LE and Non LE in a vehicle could attack other players before, but the attacked could not defend himself? - Now its the other way around, I guess thats more important, and LE Drivers blocking loot is an additional story.
Change in gameplay:
- LE Runners are very discouraged from using vehicles
- Non LE Runners cannot be killed anymore with vehicles and no fear of retaliation
- LE Runners can still level
So, not really a very good fix for many of those LEs out there, but fixing more than it opens up i guess.
And P.S: I am sure if someone has an easy to implement idea how to fix this another way, I am sure the Devs would at least listen. Of course that would also mean to accept their feedback when they say "not doable", "we don't want it that way", ... and whatever.
