Neighboring Player blocked purge camp from spawning

There are four neighboring clans with purge bases on an Official PvE server at a spot inside the volcano near the Well of Skelos. One of these has decided to extend the front of their base, which in of itself may not be blocking the purge camp from spawning. However, they additionally put a map room platform dead smack in the middle of where the purge base would spawn. Thing is, they’ve already had a map room right around the corner for ages. As it stands,while they can still have a purge camp spawn in another spot, their new structural change(s) have prohibited the other two clans from spawning a purge camp altogether.

Attempts to communicate with this offending clan have failed. Both in-game chat and Steam friend invites to discuss the matter have been totally ignored. Granted, they may fail to be an English speaker. However, it is clear they both knowingly and willfully are obstructing the other neighboring two clans from doing purges (one clan of which is mine).

While I fail to wish their entire structure to be removed–and I’m not even sure the primary part would block the purge camp–it would seem if just the map room platform was gone, all three clan purge bases sharing the location could once again do purges.

Could server admin please remove the map room platform? I hope that’s all that’s needed.

Or does this circumstance fail to actually violate any steadfast rules and we’ll just have to wait them out? Again, as it is they can still summon a purge unless we begin a new game of spite and intentionally block them off from doing so. Such is a path I’d prefer to avoid.

Again, this is on an Official PvE server. Once established it’s something a Funcom admin would be compelled to act on, I’ll provide further details.

I apologize for the darkness, but in the following image is an overview of the spot from the top of the Well of Skelos.

I’m sorry to the the bearer of bad news, but you’re unlikely to get help here or though any other means.

If I were you, I would move to another spot.

Favorite place occupancy report incoming: “dear admin I want to abuse purge system to maximize yield, while minimize effort, but some naughty other player is trying to do the same and I was there first and my map room was there first as well and my map room is better than their map room and…”

Gotta say I agree with this take.

On one hand, ya, it’s inconsiderate to build so close. On the other, building this way to make the purge easier and effectively EXPLOITING it in every gamemode too, not just PVP ;), isn’t intended.

I’ve been on several servers the past week and holy hot damn, the “urban sprawl” of purge bases in about every conceivable lava space is ridiculous lol

If it is such an affront to Funcom’s game design sensibilities, as you imply, then why doesn’t Funcom just ban placing a coffer in the volcano? Or why don’t they just disallow the Purge Camp from spawning in or near lava?

In building castles and forts, have humans ever made use of surrounding terrain to their advantage?

Because:
A. it’s extra work
B. players would whine about that then

Generally speaking if players are gonna end up whining about something anyway, they prefer the less work approach. Though if you’d prefer we can try reporting this as a bug / exploit and perhaps result in them making purge NPCs not take damage from lava or something.

I’ll leave such reporting of this matter to those who would care for doing so.
