Boot inactive players to keep ENY realistic especially during off-peak hours

[Halo46]

This is the reason I used "realistic eny" instead of "reduce eny".

There are mornings when it's painfully obvious that one side (usually bish) has wayyy more inactive players than the other two. In this case it could reduce eny and help the bish. When inactive players are spread evenly between sides, then eny might not be such an issue.

Maybe if you lobby your team mates to stop hoarding the other countries when you guys are in the usual position of outnumbering both of the other ones, then those tower sitters who can only earn perks from map wins will move to one of the other countries who takes their place ... maybe?

What about those great communicators who can not respond by text or voice in game because they are muted, Boom? Kicked to curb because them sitting in the tower causes your panties to wad up? Lighten up Francis, it's only a game and eny does more good than harm.

If a paying player wants to be inactive thats his business. Dont like it? Boot yourself.

FLOOB that's exactly what I did for early morning (EST) play...I don't any more.

And if that was the only time I could play...I wouldn't.

   Bish don't need help with ENY, for some reson, their ENY never gets below 12, rarely have I seen it lower (I then to check rarely as well, only when they have a large numerical advantage). At least this helps somewhat with stoping there hoards.

No it doesn't, have you really seen the horde stopped because of eny? I have not, the times when I see the horde defeated, not quite rare-but uncommon, is when a good defense is mounted, not because they weren't in uber rides. It is rather because they were confronted with a fair defense.

Much more often than not, when the eny is high for the horde, they just bring more players...If they find a decent defense mounted at one base, they start over somewhere else. I don't see how eny affects them much, most of them fly bomb trucks anyways, and leave it up to uber players like Ahiru to kill all the defense.

The OP is not talking about a player that is AFK, he's talking about players that are online in the tower for hours.   There is no reason that someone that is in the tower  or sitting in an aircraft in the hanger or in a jeep and not moving for hours and hours should not have their session terminated.

I'm of a different opinion. There's no reason TO terminate. This isn't a free to play game.

Oh god, brew hoards! But on a more serious note, the bish love their ponies, typhies and late model 38s for their hoards. If they where to get lower ENY limits, it may make it harder for them to hoard a base...

No, it's a game with an eny rule that is affected by players that just sit in the tower when they are not playing.   The eny rule affects the paying customers that are playing.   If a player is in the tower they should not be counted against the ENY numbers.

If they get booted out for inactivity, say sitting in the tower for 30 minutes, can they not just log back in? Couple of clicks and they are back in the game, if they went off to bed to collect win perks, well they don't get em

HT said on different thread that it probably wouldn't help...and anyway I'll turn my computer on log in to AH and let it warm up before I play...so I would be upset if I logged on and found something to do for say a hour or whatever and came back to a cold computer and have to log in to re-warm it up and get booted again while waiting...I have never been unable to fly because of the eny...but if someone can whine about it, it will be on this forum

I'm sure that they could change the eny so that only players that were in an aircraft or vehicle are counted and people in the tower are not included in the calculation.

While I'm not sure of the coding difficulty, I concur that this seems a reasonable approach.
