I recently had to unlock around 1690 Items in a Corphangar… and i noticed that the Server had a bit of a Hickup while handling the Sanctionable and therefore finished Votes wich lead me to file a Petition and a GM to unlock those Items.
The Questions are:
Why can i not just lock those like inside a Container, just with one Vote for the whole Hangar?
Wouldn´t that kind of locking and unlocking just avoid such Problems and reduce the Votes wich the Server has to deal with drasticly?
PS.:
The GM who handled that Problem told me that i somehow recreated a Bug other Players before me had already dealt with.
Thatswhy i asume, because of the amount of Votes i created during a Week, that it could probably eliminate that Bug and would make the whole Voting-Process more convenient if we can reduce the Amount ov Votes neccesary in general.
I also know that there are other Problems wich may have to be adressed first, but i also think that the effort to kill that particular Bug is quite small…
The GM wrote that other Players had the same Problem as i had, wich means that i acidently recreated a Bug that CCP semingly already knew about.
I know its quite hard sometimes to get what i am writing, because i am not a native english speaker but i guess THAT wasn´t quite hard to grasp.
To be honest, i could imagine quite more enjoyable things than klicking 8 times for every single vote and have to repeat it 1690 times… wich sum up to a Process wich needs 13520 Klicks and i am not allowed to automate because of the EULA and i kind of like my Accounts to stay available for me…
EDIT
For those of us wich arn´t quite familliar with that Process:
R-Klick the Item
Start Lock/unlock Vote
leave default settings (1 Day Runtime) klick next
Start Vote.
open that Vote
vote
if the day is up —> Sancionable Actions Tab → open that action
aply.
The thing worth Mentioning is that the amount of open Votes within an Corporation is Limited wich makes the whole Thing even more tidious…
I am perfectly fine and next time i will work around that issue with Containers and Member Rights but i thought it might would be at least interesting and maybe we could get rid of that particular Bug…
So no hassle here.
And i edited the Post above yours… for those who may or may not want to know what the Issue with that Mechanic may be and why you need 8 Klicks for each Vote…
