Hi, thank you for contacting us.

I have asked the Dev team and are waiting for their response. I will let you know if I have any update on this.

Thank you.

LOL you all are just finding out about this.
Its been happening for as long as I can remember and CCP has known about it as well.

Silly but not game breaking. What's more difficult, waking up at 4 am with 16 to play for 22% of MH, or sniping a district between 9-10pm with 1 person?

The problem being all this will do is actually create more profit because the corps will just collude and agree to atack each others districts so that 1 clones arrives.

Then we're back at camping timers.

Also, just checked, skittles was incorrect that you get genolution in any form sans the return of the clone pack.

I'd like to see this new concern answered. Why replace locking districts with more locked districts, at essentially no cost?

Edit:

Also, until we have proof the idea that you could have characters camp the match and be paid 8-10 million because of time spent in match is dubious.

You have no response for how a fix is going prevent corps from sending clones to lock each others districts?

The suggestion of removing clone packs from PC is the worst idea of all. As the largest landowner in PC i'm sure it seem like a non self-serving idea to prevent new corps from entering PC, but the community is wise to see past that flagrant advantage to AE and ally's.

Presumptions that I have districts and thus justify allegations of partisanship in this matter through insinuations of engaging in district locking mentioned in the OP is a rather lame maneuver of preventing discussion.

I'm sure continuing to engage in such malfeasance is easier than answering quarries over how best to proceed in rectification.

Edit: Skittles you sir have to prove the corp get's anything but the genolution as it is you making the claim.

And it most certainly is dubious that you can make 8-10 mill per person Demens.

It's simply a claim until proof is proffered.

The only thing I know is true is that you can lock districts and no show and snipe your timer and get the money back if no one shows. Could you not simply put a spy into another corp to begin showing battles, or mayhap tell the other corp when the battle is and then narrow down when the timer comes online?

If the offending corp must camp his own timer, does he too have the same chance you do....or is it a server preference that allows the home team an advantage?

DDB seems to have little issue camping timers to get attacks in...seems they simply need to start winning versus their opponents whose districts they snipe.

Hi, thank you for contacting us.

Designers are aware of the problem. They are discussing multiple solutions right now.

Thank you.

We have tested and confirmed this. So have multiple people in this thread. I have finally gotten devs involved (they knew people were locking, but didn't realize that they were doing it at a profit). So, yeah... Evidence on our side. NEXT!

Hi, thank you for contacting us.

Thank you.

Here's my suggested fix... treat it similar to fac war...

District is always open timers open every day at same time (timers cannot be changed)... every district has a different open hour (for example 2:00 then the next district 3:00 and so on and so on.)... every district has 200 clones defense and clone packs are 150 clones ... There is only one chance to defend district ... If there is a successful defense then owning corp receives isk payout ... This will lead to every corp having a chance to own a district at their best time...

Congratulations... Who made you the only person that decides what happens...
