The real problem is not that you can lock districts, but there are ways to make profitable in doing so.

CCP Saberwing wrote:Been discussing this (profitable District Locking) at some length with the CPM and also with the relevant devs. Something we're aware of and hoping to address. Would love to get this in for 1.8 but not sure if the teams will have the time - will keep you posted when we know more.
Sad Panda is sad more locking BS.

This is a post from my corp channel enjoy:
Even though this info was a while back, I was in IRC about 3 months ago and CCP Saberwing was talking and saying they're planning to add a system that locks the districts but has a major cost to it and it would have a time locked from 6 hours to 24 hours ranging from 250 Mil ISK to 1 Billion ISK. Don't know if they plan on doing this still or not but I do hope they do. He did say though that PC 2.0 will over haul the whole PC system and that PC 2.0 has been in the works since 1.4 update. Personally I can't stand how players lock districts right now.
Wonder if it was all talk.

Wonder if it was all talk. Erm - being totally honest, I definitely didn't say that. If for no other reason, 3 months ago I had only recently joined CCP and wasn't even particularly knowledgeable about Planetary Conquest and it's issues. Whoever's quoting me on that is making things up I'm afraid.
Thanks for the clarification.
You should totally do it though. Make it only worth doing for holidays.

That's essentially what district locking is, being told you are not allowed to attack.
Or imagine the battle of Agincourt
Charles the 6th sees Henry the 5ths archers, gets scared and says "actually no not today, I'm er busy"
*magical force field halts the English army*
Henry exclaims " what can I say, its a valid tactic, htfu men"
Just say "Female dogs be scared, Yo! so the Feds wont find out.

Corporations like Nyan San should be ruined economically if they decide to lock all their 40 districts, like they are doing today. But now they are one of the richest corps due to abusing this feature.
Please fix this, and remove ISK from any parties that obviously have abused the mechanic. Its the only decent thing to do for the players in this game not abusing. I think the general consensus is that District Locking itself isn't the issue - it's more the disincentive and whatnot. As I mentioned, we're discussing this through with the CPM and they've sent us their thoughts on it. As for removing ISK - that is something I can't comment on yet because I'm not sure how it would work in actuality. We'll discuss it, though.
Again you miss the point. Locking is legit for a price. Currently Corps could do it and gain ISK. That's the problem please fix it.
