Inactive players should be auto disconnected

[NikonGuy]

Spent a lot of the day fighting with an ENY of between 5 and 27 because some of our rook friends have decided to not log off.

I would love to see a rule where if you are inactive for more than an hour then you are automatically disconnected.

I'd get booted all the time.

I shoulda put this in the wish list forum ..

Only players in flight should count toward ENY...

Which could eman that mass horde missions could easily get around ENY restirictions. Everybody lands and get to tower, ENY drops by a huge amount, then the mission auto launches.

[GScholz]

If they all would like to wait in the tower for 10-15-30 min for the ENY to update... It doesn't have to be instant. Only to filter out the players who are inactive for a long time.

[cheeky]

Agreed.

ENY just needs to go. It is silly and does not accomplish its stated goal. Because of this particular incident (and this happens it seems most weekends that I get to fly recently) the bishops were really pounding the rooks while the rooks had a eny between 11 and 17. It frustrates me and is one of the main reasons I log off and go do something else. The more I do that the more I think about spending my 15 dollars a month (180 a year) on something else because I am not using it as much as I would otherwise.

  Then don't fly super-late war uber rides  try the D11, 109G-14,109G-6,109G2... And if you want to fly a pony, fly the B, it's faster and turns better as well. I don't care about ENY unless it gets over 20, since I fly MW and EW rides mostly.

My understanding of the ENY system is that it's purpose is to get people to change countries, other than the 12 hour rule, what would be another way to encourage side balancing?

For $15 a month you should be allowed to fly whatever the hell you choose to fly, I also don't care what the ENY is, and I enjoy earlier aircraft. This however, does not detract from the fact that I feel that you should not be limited on aircraft choice because of player numbers.

AH is a relatively premium rate MMO, in other you have to pay money in order to access better performing aircraft, whereas in here you pay in advance for that privilege, which should not be withdrawn because there are more guys on your side.

What if the side with the fewest numbers has Bruv, Grizz, Redbull, Batfink, Shawk etc, and the side with the numbers advantage has a plethora of 2 week newbs? How does ENY help then?

In the words of Skuzzy it is a "nudge" 

But it's not the main purpose (which would also be impossible because of the time restriction). It's first and foremost simply meant as a handicap for the side with numbers.

What arena and what time is that pic from?  I am against an auto disconnect, but am open to the fact that some folks fly at different times and different arenas.  Just a curiosity...

Late war. Seems early euro morning or euro afternoon = us late night or morning
