Been here 10 years now, and the riduculous gaming the game stuff is still going on. Numbers seemed to have waned and the shady characters tracking down new guys for easy kills isn't helping. Shades and tower children along with idle gv’s flashing bases, and resource hogging cybro sitting in manned gun cause a false ENY. Why cant You install a pop up “move it or lose it” idle timer. You lounge in the tower for more than “x” minutes you are booted and if You sit idle in any vehicle/gun/airplane (as in AFK) you die. And add a geo fence so if You fly off map, you die. And to sweeten it, if You bail from an undamaged plane you die., upping and climbing to nail those ever present strat raids only to have him bail and waste your last 20 mimutes really sucks! I know its their $15 but the minority oh so slowly is becoming the majority. I have often seen twice as many in the tower as in flight over the course of an entire evening! Food for thought!

While you were checking on everyone else, most were flying or driving in fights. You must have been sitting in the tower tracking events. :rofl

Make those in towers open to strafing
-
Hell, just make the act of logging on a proxy kill for someone offline.

As long as you have less-than-perfect people playing the game, this will continue.

So if I am waiting for my squad mates, or getting a snack, or putting coins in the dryer, you tell me I am no longer welcome, and you boot me from the game.
You sit idle in any vehicle/gun/airplane (as in AFK) you die.
What if I am guarding the map room? Or waiting for someone to move so I can attack or run troops? There are a number of legitimate combat-related reasons for sitting quietly and waiting.
And add a geo fence so if You fly off map, you die.
That one needs a better solution. You could be trapped in a furball, or miss your turn on a long bombing mission. It's a legitimate problem, but needs a better solution.
if You bail from an undamaged plane you die.,
Again, need a better solution. There are legitimate reasons for bailing that don't involve avoiding combat.

Unfortunately, some of your suggestions are just as much "gaming the game" as the issues you are trying to address. Some can't be changed without dramatically changing the nature of the game.

how about a popup timer for when you are idle? Idle for 10 minutes a popup comes on screen and you have say another 5 minutes to click the OK or you get booted. 15 minutes should be plenty of time to do what ever is keeping you away, and if your going to be away more than 15 minutes log out.

Think hi-tech has mentioned several times that people in tower are about equal.
But I do like the solution he gave several years ago. He'll just start not showing people in tower. That fixes all the problems.

20 minutes of inactivity should be enough for anyone who went afk to attend to something in RL.
I have parked a M-8 in a bush while I went afk to put laundry in the dryer, then got distracted doing something else and forgot my M-8
was hiding in a bush. I am sure everyone has done that, but with a different GV :rofl It is not intentional. It just happens sometimes.
:salute

If you can spend more than 20 minutes in some bush, well, hey, being discoed from a game ain't so bad, eh?

I spent an hour and nineteen minutes in the bush but then her legs started cramping. :rofl

Just like unelected busybody's, they want everyone's money to keep the doors open for their dream of utopia but, they want to control how you use the time you pay your money for becasue they don't like how you spend the time you paid for with your hard earned money. Those guys sitting in the tower are keeping the lights on in the MA, and just like bureaucracies, the busybody's want to punish them for not doing things their way and they aren't even elected or hired to decide the fate of paying customers. And it doesn't matter Hitech has told them those players can do what they want because it's their money paid to spend time in "His Game".
Guess the busybodies are telling Hitech "You didn't build that" as some infamous guberment guy once told the whole country becasue he didn't like the way people spent their time and money.
A better wish to protect their money from the unelected busybody's, Hitech either hide the sitting in the tower numbers from view or add to the "Away from Keyboard" checkbox a function that hides them from the call that produces the in tower\in flight numbers. You would need to make it so if they forget to uncheck it while in flight, they are counted as in flight until they are back in the tower. I'm also thinking about FSO where squads will ask members to check that when they have been assigned to a different plane or splitting off for a task so the CO can keep track of his assignments.
Just look at what unelected busybody's have done to many cities around the country becasue they got control of everyone else's money and time in the name of knowing what was good for those cities. You need a real time "poo" map today just to walk around the utopia called San Francisco. And even here in a private venue with far fewer numbers than a city, the busybody's want to have Hitech force us into their vision of a game utopia for our own good in spite of paying our own money to play in "His Game" how ever we want to.
I know, he didn't build it, and they know how to create utopia if we will just give up and let them lead us to the promised land living in their heads.

Don’t get wrapped up in the realestate game man, it’s a dead end. You can play the game or you can play in the game. Play for the adrenaline rush, it never gets old.
