Make it so that Idling doesn't hurt so much.

Floodnik:
Out of all the whining, lets try to talk reasonably.
First, why is Idling even around?

--- Quote ---Combat Zones and Idlers is a feature implemented to mitigate the problem of fast relogging in PvP.

It's a good feature then IF it doesn't piss off players unnecessarily.

Quoting the appropriate changelog:

--- Quote ---Idling Timer is paused inside real time encounters and inside turn based encounters with opened combat.
Idling Timer increases up to 150 seconds inside tents, bases, quest locations, guarded towns and turn based encounters with closed combat.
(...)
If you don't spend any Action Points during your turn in turn based combat, Idling Timer increases by the amount of seconds of your turn.

--- End quote ---

I probably know why the safe zones stuff exist(visiting a tent increases Timer etc.) - dual loggers. But the point is you shouldn't introduce features that affect honest players too much if you want to deal with cheaters. This feature just feels like too much pain. You should try to find another ways to deal with dual loggers - fast loggers seem to be dealt with already(so maybe it is possible!)

The suggestion is to either remove the features I mentioned, lower the Idling Timer... or both.

avv:
But how do those 3 examples hurt honest players?

Floodnik:
I want to visit my tent/base, get my stuff and jump right into action. I can't. I'm not cheating.
- honest PvP player(not exactly me, everyone)

Lets say iam honest player:

Iam hunting VC patrol for over 1 hour when TC timer appears on my screen : 15:00 minutes till enemy faction take Redding. Then i go to my VC base grab my gear in a car and start moving to  nearby redding tent. In meantime i start my Mumble window so i can see that 4 more guys just did same. Now we are 5 guys ready to spawn without any Iddling timer, becouse we are honest and we want to play hunest way. We spawn  south deal with some sneak bluesuit, then kill another 4 full gear apes below sherifs.

We like the system and we are not bothering with any usless feature. Thats it.

Floodnik:
Is that so? I wanna hear more opinions. If someone is against the feature please say why.
