Distress call is almost purely abuse tool

That's a completely different problem with those more alts, but players always had the ability to re-gear and re-enter a turn-based location to continue fighting and so far it has been working just fine and nobody has complained about it.
Disabling this option will seriously tamper with TB, I can't imagine proper TB without distress. I'm not some experienced player of that mode, but you don't have to be to realize it's important to not fuck it up.
Crovax:
Then we are still forced to use taxi alts which will end up being someone dual logging because they wanna be able to fight too. Even without removing radio the placement system could still be improved on. Maybe groups could enter a little spread out.

i can. and it's shit.
Roachor:
Jovanka should focus on making the game worth playing in the first place before trying to make it even more of a shitty pointless grind. Radios are barely used anyways, its not even an issue. Are you really that bored that you have to nerf what little content this game has?

I get some people don't count "accidentally shooting noobs" as real PvP, but it is PvP.
And if some abuser brings more alts to such encounter to win, it's simply unfair.

I could wear the same clothes everyday and all the time. But it'd be healthier and give me better social results to change and wash them, and use different clothes for different situations. I could follow a highway and travel to a nearby city on foot, but it'd be a lot easier and faster to drive a car or take a bus. The same happens with 2238: one could play with one single character and level it up "normally", that means as one experiences the different things this game has to offer such as TB PvP, trolling in protected towns, Town Control, etc. But most players, once they get some experience in the game (I mean, once *they* do, as players, not their characters), they start using alts and different, more metagaming strategies, because they give better results.
I got a SG burster/fastshooter 3 Charisma character which is fun to play with until I want to team with others to go on a hunt: then it becomes rather useless when compared with better PvE hunting builds.
If I want to try TB PVP, I wouldn't do it with a "bad" build because I have played enough FOnline to know I would be obliterated quickly by people with better builds for TB PvP.
You could try to do TC with non-specialized characters, but don't try to have a chance against TC PVP builds.
All those situations are perfectly possible, but the game still encourages you to make specialized alts and powerlevel them before their "use". It's the way the game works: 2238 is fragmentary because of that. Please note that I am not complaining, or saying "zomg this gaem suks", because I play and enjoy this game. I am just explaining why I said TB PvP was a minigame.
But anyway, I commented on different things you had said about "abusing distress", and that is all you have to reply?
