Destruction of a good DNA sample on Land Grab Area

[Pham]

Just before their land grab lease ended two socs namely Universal Brotherhood and White Tigers(now Elite Group) completely destroyed DNA samples of two spieces on their LA. UnB destroyed Oculus (only one spawn left atm). WT destroyed Thorifoid (2 spawns left)[reported by Avery]. They didnt replace those DNAs with anything else. I dont know what reasons they had doing so but for sure, i will do my best to prevent them winning any LA in future.
Also Im intrested to know what people think about such actions done by TEMPORARY owner of Land Areas.
Also I want to hear a word from Marco about MA's view on such intentional decrease of land's value

I would like to hear their side of the story first.

I wonder as to what there reasoning might be too, but I would like to hear from Marco on why land grab areas can have their DNA removed?

Maybe the land dna will be reset back every new land grab even ?


That would be good too.

I am and still am very pissed that the ocu spawn was removed from that island I loved hunting them. MA should consider a 're instate' DNA one time function when a new soc takes control of a LG

[Stryker]

Dunno what they were thinking. Perhaps they wanted free tax, as in setting up the miners with a nice, mobless land?

I don't know their reasons, maybe to promote mining there.

But this was a doubt that I had for a while, I thought I read that the owner of the land area allways had the option to reset the natural spawn of the area, but I could be wrong.
Was this ever true ?

Anyway I agree with Nicole that at least in temporary owned LA that the option to reset the "natural" DNA of that LA should be available.

Sorry picked my words poorly .. What I meant was for conquerable land grab areas the land should be given an option to go back to the original way it was at least regarding DNA.


This way no permanent lose of DNA will occur and negatively effect the PE community.

Here you can find the post where unb says they deleted their oculus spawn.
But isn't there still an oculus spawn at LA-18?
And where did WT remove the Thorifoids? LA-13?

Perhaps WT did it so there are less Thorifoid spawns and perhaps they intent to capture the only land left with them wich would mean more profit to them?

Being a miner, I think its fine. For a hunter, probably not a good thing. Though I do think that any DNA on a LG should be locked into place with the ability to be turned off if wanted.

as far as missing DNA or rare animals....PE is dynamic = MA will return it there if/when they feel it is needed.

Several good points her, but I do have a question. Did they remove creatures that spawned there before they owned the area, or just ones they placed?
I agree with Snowflake it would be nice to hear their story on this.
And Nicoles idea of reseting to original is great.
Morg also has a valid point, MA will fix it if it is a problem.

My thoughts on the subject: If they removed original spawn, this should not be allowed. The reset option would work great here. If they only removed the DNA they placed there and it can be reset with the original, I see no problem with this. They would have had to spend the money or find the DNA somehow, and there is no reason they should have to leave it there when they are about to lose the area. Why should the next owner benefit from them paying to build up the land?
In most cases when you buy a plot of land IRL (such as a farmer buying anothers field) you do not get always get everything that was there before you purchased it, the previous owner takes what they want when they leave. That maintenance is meant for the new owner.
Which brings my question: if it is going back into LG, would you leave the DNA you spent your hard earned money or time getting for someone else to profit off of? Personaly I would rather reset it to original if possible and remove my used DNA so they can work on it themselves.
