If you tell it to patrol or stay, it can still be stolen. Unless you tell it to "stay" like constantly. This was really begining to annoy me, I spent a lot of skill points to get Ad 4, idiots were making it useless.

I was told by a CSR that is was actually considered griefing, and that players were warned then possibly banned, if they kept it up. I do know for sure that warning were given.

About a week ago, I actually ran a "sting" for this. I put my barker droid out Barking in Coronet Starport. On the other side of the wall, outside, I put my DE. I had her tell the droid to "stay" every 5 seconds. So basically, when the person summoned them, he wouldn't move.

However, since my toon was nearby, it was pretty simple for me to go afk, then come back every few hours and scroll back and look for the "so and so summons" blurb. Those people were then reported. I reported about 10 people.

I didn't want anybody banned, but what happened was exactly what I wanted to happen. Instead of those people tellnig their friends about the cool new trick, they instead told people that CSRs were cracking down on people for it.

Now my droid hardly has any problems.
