We have yet another reversal on the ruleset regarding standard concord pulling that has been performed this way by gankers for years. CCPlease clarify again - The final post in this article suggests that concord pulling is no longer allowed.
If this is true, CCP will lose a great deal of gank/anti-gank content and subscriptions (as well as 40 accounts of mine). Highsec ganks will only be possible via alpha ships (Tornado/Thrasher) due to the subjectivity of GMs and the ways that rules are written. CCPlease - are you absolutely certain that this is what is desired?
Remember, GM subjectivity of rule evaluation. No way around this. They could even argue that a successful gank on a different gate was done to manipulate (or “pull”) concord.
The ruling doesn’t make ganking forbidden, it is just making ganking a little more difficult. But the problem with this ruling is that it puts much of ganking in a grey zone. A gank could be ruled as pulling or spawning CONCORD.
A legit failed gank that pulls concord to a location would definitely deter another gank attempt on that grid until they ■■■■off. I get using an alt in an ibis to pre pull concord, but imagine some dumb ■■■■just doesn’t have a clue, gets nuked and, you catch a ban for pulling concord. Dumb.
If you are so concerned about “delaying CONCORD”, why not fix their despawn? If CONCORD would despawn right after target is killed, CONCORD response would not slower nor faster.
Yeah pretty much the way it was written is too vague to discern a pull from a gank, if they want to prevent this gameplay they’d better just make CONCORD teleport instantly or spawn unlimited copies
