Remove the mercs' autoshoot option to make merc leaders use the mercenary Alt key interface and actually play the game.

and render them completely usseles: mercs cant gaurd anymore. Also good luck trying to alt click a running target quickly.
the Time it takes to alt click your target is enough to kill you easily. Don't tell me its fair, leader builds put 6-8 points into charisma which you can use for other skills.

Let me expand that a bit.
Last wipe, there was a discussion about minigunners overpowering everything because they dealt the highest damage attack with just one click, while small gunners and energy gunners dealt less damage and had to aim.
This wipe, we have merc leaders overpowering everything, but the disbalance this time is so bad it's ridiculous and almost funny. Last wipe, big gunners at least had to point and click. This wipe, merc leaders don't even have to do that - they don't have to do anything. We have a build in the game that is being rewarded for doing nothing. You do nothing to deal the firepower of 5 big gunners.
Does the Alt key menu remain in place if the target moves? If so, then attacking with a merc leader will be the same as attacking with a build that has to aim. The interface is there and it should be utilized.

I am against supermutants artillery, current "fire and leave" mechanism combined with impossibility of elimination of dual loggers ruins the game. This is fact that nobody disagree with. But also i think, that setting mercs options to auto kill is not bad. It could help i.e. roleplayers, i used this feauture to kill all tent thiefs,... .
I think that there should exist latency between entering TC zone and unfreezing the mercs (so no sudden teleport artillery strikes). Also i think that there should exist something like tree of which mercs you can use, depends on level. (So no more lvl. 5 supermutant leaders), also you should have karma with mercenaries, so if you loose many mercs, you will not be avaible to hire new (you will be able to enslave npcs only) and you will have to wait...
Many ideas.. Problem i see and i can compare is this: On TLA server, if Cvet see that there is any problem with game mechanism, he eliminates the reason of it first, then he starts his works on repair. I.e.: on TLA server, there does not work Armor Piercing ammunition from some reason. His temporary solution? Ability to "recraft" AP ammo into full metal jacket type.
Here you can temporary erase NPCs that sells supermutants or even all mercs and safe PvP balance.
If you want to see, how easy you can kill enemy via second computer alt supermutants leader, look at this video, from 10 to 25 second. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXPBVKvIjhw
One click on second computer, 15 seconds and thats all you need to ruin other players daily entertainment. We know about this for many months (even before wipe this was abused), we are posting many posts and threads, many updades, we offer simple solution and result is..
Kanly:
A possible solution may be
When you buy new mercs they will have low level, green rookie (eg 5) so if you dont waste some time to level up they will be not very useful , so when your mercs is killed then you will have waste some time for level up the new one .
