Right now, there's an active dec against an alliance... we'll call this alliance "Blue Sky Consortium" and they have a really nice LARGE faction POS in Pimebeka at planet VII, Moon 12.
This large faction POS was fit with 24 online ECM jammers, a couple of warp scrams, a couple of webs, a single neut, and a bunch of torps - EVERYTHING IS FACTION on the tower.
So this "coallition" of mercenary alliances employed to remove this tower spent 8 hours BEATING on this thing last night. The owner used every exploit available, including hiring another merc alliance to help rep the pos (also an exploit), to no avail.
Shortly before 05:00 EVE this morning, the tower was put into reinforced for 1 day 17 hours. This means at 22:00 EVE this Wednesday, the tower comes out of reinforced.
Why am I telling you this?
Because the owner of the tower - Angelic Research and Development - quit the alliance to avoid losing the tower (also an exploit). And because there's a 24-hour cooldown period, we can't dec the corp in time to finish killing the tower. The soonest we'll be able to redec them is 20:00 on Wednesday - 2 hours before the tower comes out of reinforced - and the new dec won't take effect until 24 hours later giving them a full day to rep the tower unmolested. I CALL BULL****. Petitions have been filed, but as usual, the standard cut and paste responses were returned. I'll be pleasantly surprised in the GM's actually do something about this.
So here's the challenge:
If you're in a corp and you're bored and looking for something to do - dec these guys - Angelic Research and Development. We've done most of the hard work. The tower comes out of reinforced mode at 21:50 EVE on Wednesday. There's (loosely) about 4 billion isk worth of faction fittings on that tower you can claim as your own once the tower is destroyed.
Call your friends. Call your enemies. Call your ex-girl/boyfriend. Don't let another CAREBEAR get away with this bull****.

I hereby fully support this thread, especially since my petition on the matter was closed within 3 seconds of being submitted with a stock response.
Now, I am a fast reader, but there is no way someone could have read my petition within that short space of time. The only arguement could be I wrote too much and it was tiresome to read it all.

I don't really think he's crying about it. It's lame if a corp is using known exploits to save a tower and GM's aren't doing anything.

You were able to target and aggress the reppers, and yet you whine. I'd give you a stock response too.

it makes POS in highsec invincible if corps are allowed to do this when it is obvious the pos is the target.

You've missed my point entirely. I did not petition that.

that is a known exploit, the agression was random, some of the reppers would become agressed then not a few moments later. and like kan3r said, not the point

Then he should just petition them and let CCP deal with the alleged exploiters, surely? TBH it was this

Quite corrent. No tears. Just making a point here. Their use of the exploit is a poor tactic in lieu of several isk-hungry griefers that would like to cash in on the modules - since we've already done all the hard work.

They're not griefers, but I think complaining about either of the two issues any of this is pretty sad. - - - - - - - - - Do not use dotted lines - - - - - - If you think I'm awesome say BOOO BOOO!! - Ductoris Neat look what I found - Kreul Whisper/PrismX 4 emperor |

I'm not typically one to post on the forums, however..... If the GM's do in fact allow this tactic as valid they have set a precedent. An eve wide precedent allowing something in eve that is not supposing to happen. It creates an invincible POS, when I began playing this game I was taught that nothing is invincible. So here we sit, on the brink of a decision that will effect us all. Simply unacceptable in my book.

Nor us.
It's never personal. Just business. The use of this alliance-dropping exploit, however, is just lame.

This is not how we like to fight. It's probably not something you like doing either; teaming up with other alliances to blob a large tower. We didn't even have a PW for that tower at the time, which I imagine was pretty funny for you guys in the first engagement.
Unfortunately in situations like this, everyone is doing whatever they can to get the job done. We have been on the other side of a situation like this more than once.

You're lucky you made this post
This is how you counter this exploit, when you leave alliance, a second cool down will start, so if you leave alliance, say, 1 hour before the original cool down ends, there you go

GMs have been consistent on this issue for a long time now. They're not at fault.

Consistently closing petitions before it would be possible for a normal human to actually read it?
I agree, they've been pretty damn consistent there.

Do you suppose if our name was something, ooooooh, say, a shortened name for Robert that the GM's might have a real look at these exploits if it were happening to poor little Robert?

The leaving alliance thing is only petitionable if they do it repeatedly, if you look at my post above you'll see how to counter it, although you need to be in an alliance for it to work, I convo'd the OP ingame with El'Tar to let him know about this, so the pos is going to die ____________________________________________________________
