Is using General light to prevent clicking OIL REFINERY abuse or intended?

[CataKim]

You may have noticed all Generals in CASTLE have light pillars, and one day it started to prevent any clicks (rally, war strategies, etc)
Some users started using it as a way to prevent DRAGOON RAIDERS from rushing straight to the OIL REFINERY (not being able to rally on the structure)
I was wondering if this is intended or is just a bug.

AND

if it is a bug, will it be a reason for banning the leader?

I don't know if it is intended or working well but if it is, it's super smart

A game bug/glitch always ends up being an abuse at the end of the day ;-)

meh I usually 5 star a base anyway so doesn't really apply.

I don't raid. I conquer.

Haha yeah I only typically raid bases to top off my current reserves when I'm in a rush, so I've only seen this strategy once and it caused me to lose most of my raiders as they dispersed rather than targeting as intended.
As pissed as I was I couldn't help but be impressed by the srategy. Ended up adopting it for my oil base.

when the generals dispatch to attack it goes anyway, so meh prolly a bug.

Interesting find :O does this apply to world war bases too?
That could eventually protect the artys that spawn out of the TC.. right?

I parked my oil refinery behind the fort a while back after I noticed the Generals light blotted it out a bit - was trying to just waste a few more seconds of the 30 available, didn't realise it makes it hard to click in battle. Tried hiding behind Ankgor Wat, Kremlin, etc before plumping for Fort - doesn't get bombed so much either.

There is no need to ban these people. They have not done anything wrong. They are just making full use of the way the game have been programed. Quite ingenious actually. I have only just recently found out myself when a fellow alliance member use this tactic.

In my OWN opinion.... I have no love for a full raiding party. They take all the resources without leaving a PT. But that doesn't mean I hate the people that use this tactic or petition for them to be banned. They utilise the game the way it had been programed.
I choose not to raid this way by my own choice.

Ps: If you look carefully...this is not the only 'loophole' in the game.

How very unsporting. Next thing we know people will be putting their refineries behind walls and protecting them with anti tank and mortars. Where will it all end?

That's right. Everyone should leave their rss out in the open with easy access.
