Alright, I bring this up merely because of recent events that I've both endured and observed. What I'm talking about is the use of lava buckets as a weapon in innectis, more specifically in free building areas like freebuild and reszone. As a player who takes reasonable precautions (I.E. Wears armor everywhere and executes situational awareness of players in my vicinity) I know it is simple enough to avoid/protect yourself. I know killing players is usually permissible. However, I cant help but voice concern over the usage of buckets with the intent to harm players in these areas.
A couple points toward this:
- PVP is disabled in these areas
- Many users lack the capability to defend themselves against this (I.E. Cannot use buckets/Lava buckets) due to rank.
- Reszone was not created as warzone. Hence Resource Zone
- Lava buckets can be used instantly and indefinitely by players with permissions to use them
- No matter where you go, players can be tracked with UI mods and even commands provided to us. (/locate)
My point is, these places were not made to allow fighting by default, and using a lava bucket to harm players is simply circumventing the PVP restriction. And people HAVE certainly been doing it. I realize these are excellent tools in the right hands, but presently I see this act as simply a way to grief and harass players and get away with it. I feel the 'killing is allowed on innectis' under these particular circumstances is not a fit course of action for dismissing the problem. Killing players may be allowed, but I think the only reasonable way would be if all players have a fair way to interact. I move that we either enable PVP altogether, or find a reasonable way to stop lava buckets from affecting other players in these places.
Just a friendly concern with a suggestion to improve it for all.
