4804: Players Are Notified When Repaired Gates Under Attack

Description

When you repair a gate on a keep you are notified when this gate is under attack via a message in your combat log. This notification was observed to be account wide, for example should you repair a gate on one char; then subsequently log and play another character...even the character which did not perform the repair is notified. This notification happens even if that alternate character is not anywhere near the affected zone. This is problematic as it allows you to relog the character which may be at the affected keep and interfere with keep take by the enemy, when you had no business even knowing that they were there attacking the keep.

Reproduction Steps

1. Have a gate broken by the enemy. Repair said gate
2. Have opposing realm attack/break the gate
3. Observe that you receive a notification gate is being attacked, no matter whether you are even in the zone or even on the same character who performed repair.

Intended Behavior

Suggested that the notification in combat log that the gate is under attack be removed for purposes of better game experience.

I replicated the bug via the following method. Gates on Caledonia keep were at 25%, I repaired them to 50% and waited inside afk. Albion realm members came along and attacked the gate...you will notice the message in my combat log that I recieved while inside doing nothing. I went outside and gate was down. In this instance I was there nearby, but this message will be given to you even if you are far away from keep, in another zone, or on another character from the same account.
