As this whole forum is a big mess, like most forums, maybe someone started a discussion about the same topic.

But, as i don't want to search as it seems that in development forums we can only put ideas on topix preselected by devs, I write a few words here to tell the world my angriness.

Why am i angry ? because of the cities.

After a few months playing this game, i'm now in a fantastic city on Chimaera : Metropolis.

Everything is perfect, malls, cantinas, etc...

i am now the chief of security of this town. i'm member of the militia and i'm here to make the city laws respected...

Our laws are not very stricts. The main idea is : NO PVP IN TOWN and RESPECT EVERYONE.

All citizens respect the laws but sometimes some guys come and upset everyone.

take the example of 2 guys that go wild Pvp in town...

What are my powers in such case, as the big chief of security :

- I can't fight them if i don't propose a duel. And i think they won't accpet anyway... :/

- i can ban them !!! Wow !!! What an idea. they can't use terminals (good but they're making PvP not shopping), they can't use shuttle (not bad but they certainly have swoops like everyone and be in another city in 30 secs), they can't use cloning facility (good one, only when they have finished the PvP, the loser won't rez here.... :/ ) and they can't enter public buildings ( they're doing PvP so the only building they will go would be cantina.... in most towns, cantinas are owned by a citizen, not the city.)

So... i can only try to upset them with words till my voice begin to destroy their brain.... and i'm chief of security !!!!

i can't even put them in jail (such an option cold be cool. put someone in jail for 5 mins...)

if i ban them, they always wander in streets (i think cityban could teleport targets outside the limits, near an enraged rancors if possible)

So, if someone think like me, put a few words here, hoping the devs will see it... otherwise i'll go back to space, thinking definitely than ground is not a good place to live....

Even if city warn was still in place, what would it have really accomplished in your town? You would have fought them and lets say you win. What's to stop them from getting upset and then coming back to your town with say more friends to bother you? Unfortunately, no matter how a system is designed it will be flawed in one aspect or another and someone will always find a way to abuse it.

In the case of citywarn (Which was a command I did like btw), people were building cities around POIs and attacking anyone who came near them and basically denying players access to content. Personally, I believe that there needs to be more ways to control who comes and goes from a city besides just banning them from terminals. But what could we really do that would be fair? We couldn't ban them from the entire city (meaning not let them enter at all) because then what's to stop people from griefing by blocking access to areas and banning all out siders. We can't use citywarn to fight people off.. because its been abused or they'd come right back looking for another fight.

This whole area needs to be looked at for sure, but I'm not sure what could really be done to address it. I'd love to see something because like most, I'm part of a city and my best friend is the Mayor and we do occasionally have people we wish we could remove forever in town. Hopefully we can come up with a solution that will be fair, but just. The best place to discuss this would be the politician forum though since they directly influence the cities.

I believe this is more of a topic for the politician forum as it is they who can hopefully try to get the city warn or something else added back to the game.
