Clan locking server ..to farm gear ... ?

[puppetmaster11 229]

Saw this on Reddit and I have included the screenshot ... foul play afoot ? Discuss

[Mooseocalypse 59]

Yep. They probably locked it to snag vehicles and choppers. They'll unlock the server when they get what they want.

It's their server, let them do what they want.

Locking your server isn't allowed, though. Rocket says so.

Also blacklist it.

That would be fine if they could only keep their gear on their server.

But they can now farm gear without any threat to their safety, then go where they want with their nice shiny gear, after duping the hell out of it.

It effects players everywhere they go, instead. It also doesn't allow anyone else a fair shot at the vehicles on that server.

So no, I don't agree that they should be able to do whatever they want. Rocket doesn't allow it for very good reason.

Eh, just have to move on really. Yeah, it's a dick move (and something I'll never do on my server), but unless Rocket & Co. blacklist the server, not much you can do.

I think he's making this post in an attempt to get rocket & co to do so. Although server general or cheat reporting would be a better place.

You know this is how the hackers test their scripts right?

As long as their server is connected to the main server, this is BS. If they aren't connected with the main database they can do with their server whatever they want. If not, they should be blacklisted for locking their server.

Ok back on topic here .... I thought I read Rocket stated that this was against the rules ... and while the argument can be made that its none of my business it all seems a bit shitty to me. <_<

Let them break specific rules? Sure, let the game so to the dogs...

[Justice357 12]

There are always servers doing this. It seems like people just put TEST in the name and do what they want for a few hours.

Please stay on topic guys.

No more talk of different coloured text. If the tools are there you can use them :thumbsup:

Oh look mine is mod coloured !

[mrducky (DayZ) 33]

Obviously locking servers if its done to loot is just plain cheating... Yet... Unless it's for hoarding vehicles, I don't really see why bother with the server locking.

Considering that, for example, right now with a new arma beta version being out again - and apparently backwards incompatible - there are dozens of unlocked public servers that have maybe one player playing on them. It's not like the clan could not just join on one of those to loot in relative safeness. They would probably scare the lone looter off the server just by joining in. Of course, then they would have to run around on foot to loot that server, rather than use their vehicles, so I guess that's why they don't bother.

I dunno. Just seems stupid why anyone would bother with such a cheat when basically empty servers are available for totally legit care-free looting. But maybe people are just really that lazy.

Meh you guys bitch to much

[Food 309]

Anyone else notice it's hosted by "The Collectors of Things" ? xD

Obvious loot farmers...

[zq7 67]

Meh, if they want to be pussies and essential play the PvE version let them.

Once push comes to shove and they'll run into PvP they'll get their asses handed to them.. idiots with as50's are still idiots.

Went a little delete happy there, didn't you, buddy?

This sort of thing is rife now, as well as passworded servers, and the wonderful experience of being kicked by admin as soon as you join so he and his friend can farm alone without anyone bothering them (this one seems to be happening more and more now, they probably feel theyre less likely to be blacklisted for it).

[igelqott 2]

What chipdemon said.

This happens alot, when joining low pop servers (3-4 ppl), i often get kicked by a mod.
