Thread: Problem with people dropping structures in city limits without /grant permission?

Is anyone else having an issue of people being able to drop things such as harvesters inside of city borders without /grant permission? It goes on in my city quite a bit (Tergill, Naboo, Starsider) and it's mainly just around one edge of the city that's fairly empty so I have just been ignoring it. But over a week ago a person who is not a citizen of my city dropped a PVE base well inside of city limits. This player was not /granted permission to drop this base, and I have been getting nothing but absolute strife from the CSRs about getting removed. The only militia members in the city currently are my roommate who is just as infuriated about this as I am, and a friend of mine who is a New Orleans native and who's computer was under a couple of feet of water at the time the base was dropped.


I'm just interested in if anyone else has been having this issue in their city, and what they had to do to get the structures removed.


Thanks

If they dont have zone rights they shouldnt be able to place anything in the city limits, if they are able to then it is a bug and you should send tickets till you get the issue resolved.


Did your city grow after they placed the harvestors or bases to expand beyond the stuctures.

If this is the case this is a huge bug! No structure be it house, factory, harvester or base should be able to be placed within city limits of a player city without someone granting them zoning rights. I would question members of your militia first and if no one gave permission then I would start bugging it.



One other thought, did your city expand during the last update to include these structures?

The city has been at level 4 for about a year now. As for the militia, as I mentioned earlier,there are only two members: 1 is my roommate who didn't grant permission to anyone, and the other is a good friend of mine who lives in New Orleans, and well, his computer was under water because of the hurricane when the base was dropped, so there was no way he could have granted permission.


I seriously think it's a bug. I've now sent in 3 tickets on it, and they just close them out as soon as they read them. I'm just starting to get a bit frustrated on it.

If a city doesn't have zoning enabled, anyone can drop a structure in the city limits. If zoning is on it requires a /grantzoningrights from the Mayor or a member of the militia.



As far as the CSR tickets go, are they putting any kind of response in on the tickets before closing them? They should be able to take a look and see how the structure was allowed to be placed.

We are having this problem in my player city right now. We have zoning enabled to stop people from dropping structures everywhere but somehow a rival guild has found a way/bug to place houses in our city, declare residence there and they are now in the process of trying to win the mayoral election. They are doing this because on our server all the shuttleport slots on Naboo are taken and they need to basically steal one, so they targetted ours.


They have even stated to us that they did not require zoning rights from our milita to do it, and they wouldn't tell us how they did it until after they won the mayor position. We have all sent in SCR tickets and are hoping for a favourable outcome, we know these guys are exploiting a bug to take our city.

I think that there is a serious bug with structures being able to be dropped in cities without having had zoning rights granted. There seems to be alot of it going on on Flurry right now and there are certain people that seem to be taking advantage of the situation, not to surprising that.

wth.. is up with flurry and people stealing cities.. ..


Seriously there needs to be something done like mayors need an option to restrict new people who just moved to wait like a week before they can vote or soemthing. And before a city hall is pulled there needs to be say a majority vote done at the voting terminal put out to the citiznes to determine that. SO if a mayor wants to close a city starts the request and gives citizens say 5 days to cast their vote in favor of or against and if majority ok's the city being gone then it is done.


You would think this would be a big issue I mean how important is it that now some remote quest is fixed that I didn't even know was in the game but this is going on? Eh.. .. priorities.. ..

Tell me about it, basically BLEED has used this bug to drop a bucketload of houses in Lakeside and is now trying to vote in a mayor for themselves. We are kicking butt in the vote, but the fact that they houses/residents there now means that they can try and pull this crap every voting cycle.


They should be turfed out by the CSR's for using a known bug to do this, but even after almost my entire guild has sent tickets in we are still getting the run around.

If Ican get the steps on how this is done, I can report it so it can hopefully get fixed quickly. The issue itself has been reported, but reproducing it is proving difficult.

As far as I know, this is not true. And if the devs pull this kind of crap, I'll be really upset.

I don't allow just anyone into my City and Guild, for more reason than I could post, basicly, I run an very respectable, and Honourable Guild and City, and I'm not going to have someone come in and Join my city without my Permission....It keeps the city "safe" and Trouble-Free.
