This is hardly a first world problem and hardly something Nexon needs to weigh in ''officially'' cos as
Brologna said - it's a ''silly'' debate - and I'm all for siliness .....
I think it's reasonable to assume that the general population assumes that the Alliance gate is North, etc .....
In reality, the only people who need to take the position of the sun into consideration are the pilots - but that's only when dogfighting ..... so, since planes are only doing air-to-mud operations (attacking ground targets) .... some of the pilots are obviously flying into the sun ..... (wait, stay with me ....!) ..... and that would explain their erratic behaviour of flying all over the place and in the vicinity of defences - clearly, they're
blinded by their own stupidity!!!! (oh, and by the sun too)
By jove, I think I've solved the riddle of the pilots' crazy aerial stunts!!
