I was doing the Sisters of Eve Epic arc...
Had completed part one and moved on from Sister Alituri in Arnon to Harerget and was dealing with the agent Delpine Xarasier..
I'd managed to complete the Lair of Snakes quest.
Then I accepted the Data Retrieval quest... But alas - no data core was to be found in any containers or wrecks.
No other parties were around to make off with it either.
My overview settings have everything selected and assigned to the default tab - so there was no quirk on my part.
I filed a petition requesting to be reset to the Lair of Snakes because the datacore comes from the prior mission...
When the GM did this, I no longer had any Epic Arc missions in the Journal -> Agents -> Missions tab.
I dealt with 2 GM's and they were insisting I had to make the 16 hop roundtrip back to Arnon from Harerget and re-accept the S.o.E. Epic... Then they would reset the arc to the appropriate mission..
It begs the question... Why is there no GM undo option? If there was, hell he could have just given me the darned datacore in the station so I could have completed Data Retrieval..
Why can't the GMs do S.o.E Alituri accept their end if this is a necessity for a reset?

Please do something about this CCP as for me I have had enough of lousy petitions with GMs that don't have the tools (or perhaps knowledge) to make game enjoyable for player. If the GM started conversation too it would help - because the delayed waits between responses are dire. Especially when things go on for circa 45 messages in the petition log.

That seems like an oddly specific easily exploitable feature.

I have never seen any game that lets you just undo what paid game employees do, that would be extremely silly.

Instead of making a thread post just get a shuttle and set autopilot, it will take you like 10 minutes and you can get snacks.

So you're doing an epic arc which is designed to get you used to jumping all over the universe, and you're upset you have to jump 16 hops to get the arc again?
I guess the Idea that you want, is you want them to have better GMs? Otherwise, no clue why this is in F&I as it's basically just a rant.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.
