Why does Tractor still zone us?

[Korpg]

Mayhaps there is some abuse potential without the zoneing..

You mean the old Byakko route people used to take when sky was popular?

Having a WHM and BLM (or WHM/BLM) go thru the zone by him/herself, and the other 17 people kill themselves to Groundskeepers just to get tractor-raised instead of going all the way around the zone in a group. That didn't help save time, unless the WHM and BLM (or WHM/BLM) was the first in the zone.

No. I mean perhaps someone could tractor you off the side of a cliff without the zoning and then it might require a GM to fix your position.

Considering Tractor pulls a player to the caster's position, you can't tractor someone off the side of a cliff unless YOU are off the side of a cliff.

I'm still trying to imagine how it could be abused, but I really don't see any valid excuse for not re-working Tractor.

Right now it works that way, but maybe if it didn't zone there are some hurdles like that to overcome. I am not trying to make excuses for SE btw. Technical reasons be damned, they can figure it out if the order came down to do it.
