my wife was standing at auction at calypso when she suddenly saw message “you are being added to the guestlist of privateer by windy”
windy is not on her fl nor did she ever accept or requested to be added to the guestlist
i know windy is an known pirate so i told her to clean inventory and made supportcase,since i was sure an summon was on the way,
and surely she just got the summonmessage
this is an dirty trick by an pirate abusing the summonsystem,please if he did that to more players,also make an supportcase to get him banned,since financial repercussions is the only thing that will work for these guys
ma need to either punish them hard,or make it possible to remove 1 self from an guestlist
My disciple just got the summons on Caly, same story, only didn’t notice the “you’ve been added” message. Fortunately he didn’t accept.
This should not be allowed, I’m pretty certain this will get him another temp ban… and maybe after the speed hacking it will be a permanent this time… we can only hope.
Too bad he can’t shoot better or he wouldn’t have to resort to these exploits. :laugh:
I should add that the only way to remove yourself from GL is to do it manually on the ship’s guest terminal… but then he can just re-add you.
The entire ship GL system needs to be improved, maybe this will spur MA to making the necessary improvements.
ma needs to adress this since it will cost them peds..my wife wont be doing any hunting anymore now,the risk of misclicking on summonrequest while hunting is just to big
this is clearly abuse/harrasment,and even 1 that costs ma money
In this case there will probably be action from MA’s side because this no longer has to do with separating planet economies. I know they are working on the guestlist thing but didn’t get any details lol
As far as I know you dont have to be on anyones friends list .
All Goldy needs to do it sit on planet , mass adding players to Guest list of his mothership . once he has a load of victims , he summons them. Those that accept are then in space possibly on its way to a pvp zone , on a mothership low on health with all the scumbags shooting it down.
Removing the owner from your friendlist does NOT remove you from their ships guest list. (it just makes it harder for you to contact the honest ones requesting to be removed)
My guess is that the owner opened the guest list, then went down to the planet without closing it and was mass adding people remotely.
All you need to add someone to your guest list is their HP bar, so no need for her to have been on his fl, and hiding in the registery wont help either.
While they are not exploiting any bug as such this time but the way in which they are using these features is clearly an abuse of available features with the sole purpose to loot players.
So looks pretty serious and is likely to get them permanently banned. At least I hope it does…
The pirate privateer XXXII(32) owned by (removed) summoned FOMA. Must have done a mass add to ships GL, all the traders got summons. I had no loot, answered, and was booted from the ship and shot by (removed) almost instantly.
Then they summoned Calypso, and CSS filled up with people who inadvertantly or curiously answered the summons.
This is a very well thought out, and impressive, dirtbag plan. DO NOT CHECK THE GREEN CHECK!
Tell everyone on your FL, and send it through your societies.
and as Neil advises, file a support case if you have been stung by this trap.
