It sounds like this was done to close the loophole of the RHA not being able to jump in and mess up people's events anywhere in it's ZOI. If any official faction set up a smuggling event and said people couldn't interfere in the smuggling, they should lose their official status. But when two opposing factions, let's say the Sairs and Bretonia, set up a fighty fight event, no, it shouldn't be ok for others to just jump in and try to ruin the fun. That is now what will happen anytime factions set up an event. Instead of just having admin approval for events ahead of time, we are now going to have a situation where anyone can just get involved and say it's unreasonable for them not to be allowed to muck it up in their ZOI.
