The restrictions and cooldowns, who are they really restricting?

1. It's lame
2. It's cheating

If I kill someone I don't want his lame proxy alt to appear a second later.

Exploiter can use a doc alt

Crafting cooldown - Player waits
Exploiter uses alt

Gathering - alt

Repair cars - alt

Login - Player waits the timer

I would like to use alts. After playing a while There are only 2 major problems with this game.
1. Cooldowns
2. Overpowered NPC Mercs working for players which take pvp out of the interaction (mercs should be somewhat MORE handicapped).
 The mercs aren't mercs at all but rather terminator style murder robots that shoot anything on site. That is way OP to be on a players side.
I would rather be banned than wait that timer. I only have so much laundry and bills to pay between logins. I'm trying to avoid meat-space for longer than 2 min worth of mining.

Cooldowns suck because it litterally take 2 secs to rack it up then you have to wait for it to come back down. You have to WAIT on a computer game. what the hell?

Exploiter logs with proxy: which is completely undetectable.

Thats a good point, but there is no way to keep that from happening even now. If someone is using a proxy theres no way to keep them from logging in to avenge his other doll.
Yeah, that is lame and that is cheating. There's no way to stop it though, even with accounts people will just have more accounts and more proxies.

Has this happened to you? I mean in this game. because its totally possible.

Keldorn:
@OP

Cooldowns for peaceful ways to get things but no cooldowns to getting things from other people by lulz killing.

Why?  Because certain folks prefer to force people to pvp/aka murder for stuff and lulz

5me0:
To answer your question simply, and in my opinion, all these restrictions are only restricting the poor fellows that actually go through all these unnecessarily nerfed steps in order to make 1/10 the ammount of effective cap worth in the time spent than if you had farmed the equipment and repaired it instead of crafting.

Whats worse, all these restrictions only affect the people playing the game fairly, and pose no restriction whatsoever on people dual boxing or proxying. It just makes things worse for the people playing fairly because these types of measures never have and never will make the game less abusable by an abuser, but only decrease the number of abusers to people who aren't completely clueless about pcs (it takes a minute to find a proxy and bypass all the game "protections"), or to people who don't want to cheat because it kills the fun.

It ends up making the game tougher on people playing fairly, and makes it better for people cheating because now they have even more of an advantage over non-cheaters.
