[issue] Pavanakka Faction Warfare Glitch

While it appears that there might have been a server reboot around midnight eve time on the day we got Pavanakka (http://evemaps.dotlan.net/factionwarfare), this still does not change the fact that it is mathematical impossibility for a system to be as heavily contested as it appeared after yesterdays downtime.

Even if we factor in 3,1% occupancy increase per hour from 23.55 onwards (theoretical maximum assuming absolutely no delays, interference and npcs dying in 0 seconds) then in 15h of plexing which occurred from it and issue being reported, we should still be at 46%. This does not factor in possible DT extra plexes but even with them, occupancy would be around 50%

Also, do note that is is a near place where Caldari actively attack hostile systems so any gallente plexing would likely be interfered with. And that only few caldari systems get plexed to 50-60% level before being kicked down, even backwater, non-station systems.

So a system which was taken after hard fighting over several days, suddenly being let into 80%+ contested in one day is not something we would just allow to occur.

Now another downtime rolled around and Pavanakka is still heavily contested. According to gallente this bug has occurred three times before and has been fixed and since Caldari have not paid much attention, I must assume this occurred in Gallente held systems As Princess Nexxala has said, it's always been fixed quickly.

But for now, CCP has decided this courtesy does not extend to Caldari militia. If this had been 0.0 system, equivalent would basicly been that system which had not been SBU'ed before downtime, would suddenly be coming out of it's final reinforce cycle when servers are again up & running. Server reboot and rollback would have occurred but has anything of the sort happened now?

There has been no response to petitions nor an official comment to this thread despite the financial & territorial significange of the bug. So not only CCP decided to essentially hand over the system to gallente, they do it to cause maximum harm for Caldari militia by forcing us to divide our forces from our offensive goals and making sure we wont get an important forward operating base for future operations.



I have posted this on behalf of Damar Rocarian, who is currently banned from the Forums.
Initially I did post about this issue on the Warfare Section of the Forum, but have since noticed that was a terrible idea as players on both sides just begun arguing amongst themselves.

We would like to see some confirmation at the very least that this issue is recognised and / or currently being fixed.
