So, people place warp disrupotr bubbles BEHIND a stargate and you warp to the gate, the you are pulled straight through the gate tens of kilometers and end up in a bubble you wouldnt have actually traveled through?? Surely that is an exploit, surely the whole mechanic is that a bubble traps you if you warp INTO or THROUGH it, not get dragged to it when you come out of warp at a stargate?

I warped to 100km from the gate, teh bubbles were on the far side of the gate and they dragged me all that 140km or so into them? That can really not be right..

A Large deployable self powered unit that prevents warping within its area of effect.
The above is the description of a large mobile warp disruptor, it says nothing whatsoever about confusing the ships systems, or being able to drag you into its area of effect, which is 26.5 km across... Not 140km across, which it would have needed to be to cath me in its area of effect.
So, this must have been discovered as an accidental effect of bubbles and nothing whatsoever to do with their intended effect. In effect there is absolutely no way to escape or avoid this trap unless you already have BMs loacted around the gate to warp to. I find this very difficult to believe is their intended use.
All I lost was a t1 frig and pod, but the loss isnt important, its the ridiculous mechanic.

Working as intended. You need to warp to another celestial or object to get off the line between the two gates. Warp to a belt or planet. (belt probably, planets can have them too.) Then warp to the gate. You'll be off the path that the bubble drags you from and can then begin smacking the campers.
I did exactly that, got dragged into bubble anyway, lost the frigate, tehn warped my pod to a different celestial at a different angle, warped back in at 100 to get a good idea of wether the angle was right, and got dragged 140km into the bubble again...

Bla bla bla.
How many people need to tell you this is working as intended before you shut up?
How many timwes do you need to be told that internet spaceships are no substitute for actually touching a girl before you stfu or go somewhere that you might actually be useful, like the morgue.

I have no problem with any o f those items or the mechanics they are described as having. Get the description of mobile warp disruptors to say 'Will drag you into their area of effect' at any point in their descrition or attributes and thet will be fine too. But to have an area of effect listed at 26.5km, but get affected when 140km away, that is my problem.

Can someone link a dev-post in which the dev claims the mechanism actually works as it was designed to work? This drag-bubble-thing smells like it was sanctioned after it was discovered and no easy code-fix could be made.
What is the advantage of using a bubble behind the gate instead of in-front? In both cases the bubble needs to be properly aligned with a celestial object.
This. dev blog or it isnt true. I think its time that ccp manned up and admited some f these 'features' are in fact errors they dont/cant fix

We use bubbles all the time right on a gate and trap/fight and kill all manner of opponents, so that above statement is wrong. So, clearly while you may program etc, I dont think you have much experience of pvping with bubbles.
If bubbles were as pointless as you say, they wouldnt be used.
The drag mechanic is not in the description, nor is the idea they 'confuse' systems. So unless I get a link to some official linbe from a dev or in the descritpions somewhere, I am not accepting that this is a deliberate mechanic.

I dont spend ages reading forums. So, dig it up for me, or the official line, and ill start believing. Oh and it sucks to be HTA righ tnow yeah? ripped of 32 billion, and evicted from what you thought would be a nice new home. And sucking very hard at pvp.. that must hurt alot.
