IDEAS FOR RYZOM


Code of Conduct regarding OP battles needs to be changed

Daomei
Feign attacks on OPs are legitimate when serving tactical purposes, mainly by simultaneous declarations
 

If there are two or more OP's contested at the same time by one guild, attackers have to appear at every OP at least once during active phase, otherwise defenders can report them for no-show and rightly so. Simultaneous attacks can't be "fake". Or they can, but that would be a matter for CSR to look into.

But 2 occurences during several months do not really support such a suspicion.
 
There were two attacks at Placio's OP (Tryker 50) back in 2015, both occured within one week, both where initiated by different, likely alt guilds. Guess what, no attackers showed up in both cases. The purpose of those declarations escaped me, they clearly were neither after outpost, nor PvP action. We were told it was done "by mistake". Yeah, two mistakes in one week, by two alt guilds. What a wonderful coincidence.

Daomei
For those who like PvP fights the lower level OPs should be a good low cost opportunity to initiate a fight. The defenders have to live with.

You miss the point. It's not about low costs, nobody asks to rise an entry barrier for OP warfare. It's about Code of Conduct being applied to owners of low-level OP's in the same way as it applied to owners of high-level ones. If a team attacks a low-level outpost, that's fine, let's fight. If a single attacking toon runs through the OP with invulnerability on and dissappears in the woods (let's call that "Wulfspack tactic") and nobody else shows up, now that should be considered a fake attack no matter what level of OP. 

Which is not the case as of now, according to the CoC that's perfectly legal behaviour. But if the same person does "wulfspack tactic" at q250 OP, all of a sudden it's illegal, it's harassment and the person in question gets a ticket filed against him. Somehow the quality of OP isn't only applied to OP itself, but to its owners as well. Owners of 250 quality can count on CoC protecting their right for fairplay. Owners of 50 or 100 quality can't.
