This continues to be the case into December. We all know it's cheating, as these sieges are going up in under a quarter of a second. Not one second.. we're talking about a quarter of a second. I'm not going to entertain support's claims that what we're seeing is 2-4 seconds. That's what support has tried to claim to my guild leader.
Also outright refusal at the request a support member be on to witness this for two minutes at reset - tickets making that request are placed directly into "pending purgatory", never to be read by support again. Bothari told me he needed proof when I submitted a ticket about this. I sent him 5 days worth, sectors that had been macro sieged, times it had happened, sectors on which we expected them to use it at reset the next day, most (if not all) of which verified. Ticket went completely silent. I asked Bothari to let me know he was still getting my responses, and asked that he be on for reset to see for himself that I was not wrong. That's when my ticket went into pending and never came out. A company with good intentions and a genuine desire to enforce their own rules does not handle issues in this fashion.
Don't tell me to send in a ticket that you know will result in a form reply or a lie. This game is currently in the process of going down the toilet, the legit players won't stick around.
I'm sure this post will be deleted or I'll receive an angry message from a mod or something. It exposes too much of the truth. Oh well! Hope a good amount of people see it before that happens.
