As you can see with OP and the others that don't get this point, the game simply needs to be retard proofed for them.

+1 makes no sense that it does instant KO. Atm you just have assume that visitors put you at a full mercy of the owner, and, unless you trust them 1000%, toggle the visitors off.

With the use of the great feature of "The path to your approach is blocked!" (The gate itself preventing aggro), it effectively made it incredibly difficult for the sieging side to port fighters in to defend.

Bold of you to call an actual exploit a skill issue, and then in turn describe a textbook skill issue:

Relying on charter to summon reinforcements instead of, I dunno, staying at the fucking objective?
Skimping on gates
Not being able to figure out how to quickly deal with a bunch of nakeds
Having a battle planned out so meticulously that it was thwarted by a couple minutes of delay

mate did you even read? I literally said neither the OP's post or my example of griefing would be considered an exploit. The mechanics are working as intended lmao

You should always be able to evict, that's not up for debate. Too easy to grief if that wasn't an option.

That being said, there is another option to solve this: if you get evicted, you instead get teleported to your own HF, rather than just outside the claim. That should solve the problem, and I can't think of real negative outcomes.

"Shit we're being sieged and losing the fight, quick, evict me so I port safely home before I get KO'd"

Stop trying to fix the evict mechanic, that's not even what the issue here is. This entire thread exists because villages don't have a way to just turn their charter off without losing the name that someone can then steal. Add a toggle to disable teleporting, let them keep the password in, done.

Or anyone in the village being able to hijack/turn off the charter. Charters need affixed names would basically solve all these problems, IE like the coinpress.

You're talking about porting into the middle of a random village and you think evict ko is the worst thing that can happen? I could literally mrage full kill every visitor if I wanted to.

No solution that involves being invulnerable makes any sense. Some situations are just a matter of trust and common sense. Nobody with a shred of common sense has ever has an issue with this.
