Safe timer really doesn't affect Me or factor in my choosing to play. Activity does.
If I'm going AFK, and for some reason desire to remain in the zone, I try to move to a private freq so I'm not screwing over a pub freq. That is my biggest gripe to be honest, when we have 3 or 4 man freq's and 2 of your team is perma AFK, and there is no where else to go because the other freqs are full AND active.
My lesser gripe
I struck those comments as they are my feelings on my perception of the situation, and I admit, that peception is not comlete, and thus has no place here, so sorry about that if anyone took offence to any thing insunuated by it.. not what I meant by it after reading it again... Arguing about the merits of which form of inactivity is best for Chaos and enabling it I think is the least of things we can be doing to move forward... as far as I'm concerned, make it 24hrs, and I'll green an alt on my media server and leave it logged in 24/7 if thats really what We're going for.. lol.... it's a little silly to me is all.
To add a solution:
I guess I'd just ask ; If you're going to actually be Inactive and stay in a safe zone, please change to a private freq.
How do we define 'inactivity' - Lets discuss it.
What time limit do we place on it? - Discuss it.
Do we need to police it? - shouldn't need too..
I think if you claim to actually care about this zone, and keeping it running at all,
it's a resonable request, and easily do-able. A lot of people do it now anyway.. I even see Axe do it from time to time.
So it seems to be something already in play. I'm just asking you all to consider it, you know when you're not going to be active, don't take up a spot on a pub freq, and we won't need to maybe change the safe timer or get into this type of argument, attacking one another... I think people will be more likely to hop in (especially etsablished players) if they know they won't be on a freq with an inactive player(s).
Thanks for the input.
