Thread: Citywarn is a RP issue, not a PvP one
Some people are also locking people out of POI's with /citywarn because their city influence overlaps a POI. You don't get to own a POI whether it's krayts, bases, or a just some odd item that people want to visit in-game. EOS laddie. Fixable by removing city influence (ie the ability to warn) within 1-2k of a POI.
You also forgot to think of the wonderful people who are on min spec computers and modem lines which may take longer than 30 sec to get out of town. That can be fixed by upping the timer to 5-10mins, but it comes down to how long is long enough for a min spec player to load, receive the warning, and then leave a top rank city from it's near center.
When they fix those, then they can put it back in. Why wait until then? Because children have abused it. Law and regulation are always made for the worst aspects of society, in-game or IRL.

Devs said that because nonconsentual pvp isn't the point of SWG that they're pulling out citywarn. My contention is that they ARE consenting by making choices that put, and continue to put them in a position that will make them vulnerable to pvp. If you don't want to get warned, stay out of a city that you're not familiar with, or if you choose to go into the city, if you get warned, GET OUT. If you can't get out and you die, clone somewhere else (you should always clone on planet, it's a choice a player makes). Word has it, civic cloning centers will only be able to be used if it's a predesignated choice, and only static npc centers will be able to be used for "closest facility" clone choices, which also alleviates the issue.
Basically, stop whining and 1) let the militia do their job, and 2) let people live with the consequences of their choices.
