This is a fascinating point that I confess to have totally overlooked until now: it’s possible for someone to come build at a forbidden spot because the content that shouldn’t be blocked by players has already been despawned by someone else’s base.
This actually made me change my mind about one thing. Up until now, my position was that it would be nicer if Funcom gave out warnings before acting on a report, but that it’s not worth increasing their administrative workload. Now that I’ve read this, I think that they should do it. (But they probably want, because it really would increase the workload a lot.)
Don’t get me wrong, I’m actually sympathetic to your case, but you really shouldn’t rely on the community consensus on an official server. If you aware you’re breaking the rules, take steps to rectify that even if everyone else on the server is okay with it, because it only takes one report to ruin your day.
As Deacon pointed out, that’s also a no-no. Purely decorative builds are, unfortunately, against the rules.
Yeah, but you and I both know that’s not why he’s doing this. There are people who like making other people miserable.
I’ve only reported one build so far. I did it because the build despawned an armorer spawn, and the owner didn’t give a shіt when I mentioned it. I didn’t hang around waiting for their loot or anything, because the loot is not the point.
If someone reports you and then hangs around for your loot, it says something about them. Unfortunately, their intentions don’t have to be pure. If you broke the rules, you broke them, and it doesn’t matter who reported you and with what ulterior motives.
Not specifically, by name, but the rule you broke is clearly against it:
You blocked some pretty important content: a world boss.
Good decision
I confess I haven’t read all the back-and-forth between you and the rest, so I apologize if there’s some nuance I’m missing. That said, there’s no numeric limit on transportory stones
