MetalHed Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) I'm talking about the people who like to sit in their large vehicles right on top of terminals in the fleet. Maybe these folks are so bored and lonely this is fun? Maybe it makes them feel better to know they are only slightly inconveniencing a lot of people trying to turn in dailys? If that's fun to you how about going outside and sitting in the road? At least I can do something about that!!! *floors the gas pedal* ...... BUMP BUMP!! ....... *not even looking the rearview mirror* Edited June 22, 2012 by MetalHed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arieana Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My husband encountered the same problem you describe. He was trying to access a vendor and could not because someone had their very large vehicle on the vendor. Even getting inside and scrolling all the way in my husband could not get to the vendor and could only click this persons name. These people are either unaware of what they are doing or are immature jerks with nothing better to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalHed Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Agreed. It's one thing to be unaware, that's understandable though I'm seeing this more and more since the transfers. Last night there was someone sitting on top of the pvp daily terminal for at least an hour (I went in and out of 4 warzones). The length of time alone raises my suspision because they never timed out. I asked politely for the guy to move, my response? "lol" Ok fine, I'm obviously the bigger man here, I'm not gonna say anything else to this kid, I'll move around until I find a place to click on the terminal. So what's the solution? Who knows. Is there a solution? Can anything ever be done about this? Probably not now or ever...so what's the point of this thread???????

Tatile Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Maybe put a conflict area around NPC vendors so that people can't run into them and also can't park their mounts in them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalHed Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Maybe put a conflict area around NPC vendors so that people can't run into them and also can't park their mounts in them? This could work, so far it's the only idea and it's a good one, of course BW would have to be aware of the size of the "conflict area" since everyone uses their vehicles on fleet and this terminal in particular is in a slightly narrower section of walkway. +1 interwebz to you Tatile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinFlapJack Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 We need a traffic cop or someone to write tickets and fine people credits for doing stuff like this. Each week, we assemble all the credits from the fines and have a raffle or maybe some sort of galactic bingo game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NasherUK Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It might annoy some people, but I'd like to see them disable speeders on the fleet and in silly places like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letallis Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It might annoy some people, but I'd like to see them disable speeders on the fleet and in silly places like that I would hate this but why should you be able to ride a speeder in a public walk way. I am for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JugglerofGeese Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Works for me, Ban speeders on Fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorroazul Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Even though this may annoy a lot of people, I think it's the only plausible solution. Besides, the Fleet isn't exactly the biggest place in SWTOR. So yeah, ban vehicles from the Fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edminime Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I send them a tell. Wait 1 min if they don't move I report them. Rules on conduct interfering with game play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauska Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Auto-dismount when you talk to a vendor or check your mailbox. That would be a great help for starters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magdalane Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 These are the two solutions I use: 1. If they're unwilling to move, I try to contact someone else in their guild and learn the guildmaster's name. Then I talk to them about the situation. 2. If the player isn't guilded, or if they/guildmaster are so childish that they cannot be reasoned with, I put in a ticket describing the interaction. That's really all you can do, imo. I have had good response from both of these solutions, I hope they work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithros Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 The fleet just isn't that big a place. Ban speeders on the fleet outside of the docking bays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ootred Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Auto-dismount when you talk to a vendor or check your mailbox. That would be a great help for starters! I agree. This solution is the best. People can still ride their speeders on the fleet, but will not be able to "cover" terminals, mailboxes, and vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogoo Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I agree. This solution is the best. People can still ride their speeders on the fleet, but will not be able to "cover" terminals, mailboxes, and vendors. That would help for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not now or ever...so what's the point of this thread???????In this kind of situation you are more that aloud to submit a player harrassment report, which should get priority on the CS stack, as it is preventing people from playing and BW will take that seriously. Once these jerk offs start getting warnings they will soon stop, for fear of loosing their accounts. We had this issue in SWG and once people started to file reports to the CS, it really reduced the number of instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectreclees Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Uhm, maybe it's just me but I'm able to click through them and get to the vendor. Just had to move my mouse around a bit. I have a big vehicle myself and nobody has ever yelled at me for being on top of a vendor on accident.

Laris_Rai Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 They're not going to ban speeders on the fleet. People would raise a fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranid Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Auto-dismount when you talk to a vendor or check your mailbox. That would be a great help for starters! ^^ This If a large speeder is blocking any mailbox or vendor it would be a clear sign of griefing because the are obviously not using said vendor or mailbox.

slugem Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 They have been in every game I've ever played. be it Ogre's in EQ blocking doors, Taurens using the body mass to block mail boxes or speeders in SW:TOR . You just have to deal with it and move on. MMO are a lot like RL. as much as we wish ******s would just go away they never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deewe Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Auto-dismount when you talk to a vendor or check your mailbox. That would be a great help for starters! Would not work as they could sit next the terminals without interacting with them. Solution: automated dismount if you pass close by a mail box and mounting not allowed either. OR even better: let players access to their mail boxes from the GTN, have packages optionally delivered to their ships and direct recall to space ship.

Talahar Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Just ban speeders on the fleet. Let those muppets throw a hissy fit, it's for the greater good. If the kids can't play nice, take away their toys, only way they learn, only thing that works. Until then: screenshot and report every single one! They can't ignore the problem if the GMs get flooded with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
