It's their desert, not yours.

Funcom recently announced that Dune: Awakening will release on May 20, and alongside that news, the publisher wants you to know that sandworms are independent annelids that obey their own rules and don't need you to decide when and where they go places or what they do when they get there.

In a community FAQ, Funcom said that while it might be nice if sandworms could easily be lured to your enemies, that's not the case. A prospective player specifically asked if there would be "measures in place to prevent, or mitigate, players baiting sandworms onto other players through yolo tactics."
