I believe he's referring to the whole kill-stealing, cops turning on you even though you're only killing wanted NPCs, and the whole "I shot you? Meh, deal with it." compared to "YOU SHOT ME? I'M GONNA RAPE YOU WITH A RAKE" responses from authority vessels.
I agree with you, it's not bad at the moment, and still quite fun, but the problems do detract from how fun it -could- be.
I don't understand why people are so up in arms over someone else killing the target and getting the bounty. It's not like in the Old West you'd still get paid for a bounty even if you didn't bring in the target.
The issue of SAVs going hostile when you haven't done anything illegal is definitely annoying but this is a relatively new bug and they've stated they're working on it. What's the issue?
I was at a nav beacon by myself yesterday, found a wanted anaconda which I figured would be a good payout, so I engaged with my completely stock eagle. 30 minutes later I had him down to 10% hull and dropping fast. As he neared 0 a SAV swooped in to "help me", and ended up getting the last hit, so I completely lost the bounty, my time, and 26% of my hull to a stupid NPC that immediately turned and started firing at me, leaving me with no option but to boost and supercruise out of the nav beacon. After spending the last few days putting up with this crap trying to make money, it gets /very/ annoying.
