I'm posting this for the sake of documentation:
I've been reported to a GM (I will not say by who, as per forum rules) for using the strategy of taking down the tractor beams while someone aggros the tholian ships. The person PM'd me telling me I was reported and that I should have been fighting the tholians instead of just sitting there.
Hopefully GM's know better than to listen to someone like this, but just in case they don't, I want my side heard.
I suppose this would classify as a rant lol.

If you should get banned, than yeah, I do recommend trying to get yourself unbanned.
That said, that guy was just being an TRIBBLE because he was getting attacked by the Tholians and you didn't help. I mean, freeing the ships makes the Tholians warp away for pete's sake. Someone pulling and holding aggro on all the ships, can usually be good enough to free the ships and make it go a lot easier.
So yeah, don't worry about it, and that guy was an TRIBBLE.
It's the way I do it and the way most of my fleet does it and the different random fleets I team with also seem to do it.
I wouldn't worry about anything, it's not a glitch, hack and cheat by any means.
You shouldn't have anything to worry about. If anything, that idiot will proved the GMs with a good laugh.

Nothing will come of it, as its a legitimate strategy and is in no way shape or form an exploit.
the objective is to free as many ships as possible in the fastest time, not to kill as many ships as possible, which is exactly what you were doing. you were gaining your team more points. that player is being an idiot, if not for misunderstanding the objective but for actually being stupid enough to report another player and waste everybody's time.
this game is full of idiots like that, example: doing big dig daily, sharing the mission with my grp...multiple times, since the grp wasn't full the first time i did it. So promptly comes a line: stop sharing the quest! I respond: why? you don't want 50 fleet marks?
response to that: I'm not interested into the rewards of this mission.
i checked..he was a member of a fleet.
that second i was wondering what his fleet mates would say if they heard he wasn't interested in earning fleetmarks.
I left it at that, normaly i put people like that straight on ignore, not because i feel harassed or something, simply because i have no intention to ever talk to people like that in the future, or do something with them together.
When I go into the Nebula in my Carrier I send my pets in to to distract the Tholians while I take out the Tractor beams. Generally I get at least 1 beam before my pets die and i get to join in the fray.
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
At the end of the day it is a TEAM effort
Had one player the other day (KDF) who would only do it with other KDF players and said prior to mission start Feds you go that way KDF only follow me.

Really, the Darwin awards should be in full flow to some peeps that play this game.....
Don't worry about it. It's a pretty good strategy actually. The Tholians don't need to all be destroyed before you free the ship. And after the ship is freed any remaining Tholians warp out and you can move on to the next ship. The faster you free the ships, the more points you get, and the more points you get the better the reward. Next time someone moans at you about it explain this to them. They might thank you later for helping them get more Romulan/Fleet marks.
Knowing that, I can safely say that the guy who said he was reporting you is a complete idiot and can be ignored. He probably didn't report you anyway, he probably just said it to be a jerk.

I usually preface it with "No Slap Fights allowed" in chat then drop the dread off at about 30km out. Usually two of the group will turn and reluctantly start on the tractor beams and the other two will pursue the long gone dread at their best speed while hurling insults my way, they usually almost get there before he warps away.

It's much more efficient, as the Tholians will leave after the ship escapes. Why bother with webs and disables that you can fix?
If they're so caught up in the One True Way Of Doing Things, they're not worth your time thinking about.
Some other examples:
- getting reported for using a melee weapon on Ground PvE
- getting reported for being stucked in a wall
- getting reported to be a Hacker or Cheater on PvP Ground, because it is difficult to kill you in a Healer Role
- getting reported to be a Hacker or Cheater on PvP Ground, beacuse you can apply a one-shot-kill
In fact i would like it, to have more teams at Azure Nebula who would help to apply this tactic. Even if you tell them to concentrate all on one ship the last 30 seconds, some players try to free a BoP all alone instead, which is total nonsense with just half a minute left. In the end you free none of the last two ships.:eek:
As others have suggested already, put this player on /ignore.
All the evidence I've seen says the devs/GMs don't actually care about exploits.
Yeah, I wouldn't let that bother you. If anything, trolls and griefers need to be reported for stupidity, but that isn't bannable, just an incurable affliction.
As to the bolded above: It's 'petaQ
ROLL TIDE ROLL
if they are not stupid about it i can hold all aggro and survive while all 4 beams are turned off and we move on to the next target... since when did strategy equal to a tos violation?
