30 Second Logout Delay

in General Discussion
Has there been any discussion about logging out delay? I'd recommend something around 30 seconds to prevent people from arbitrarily avoiding combat because they see a player in the distance, especially a corrupted player escaping from a bounty hunter that went through all the effort to come to fight them.

    This is stated to be a mechanic, already:

    There's nothing stopping anyone from ALT+F4 rage quitting, but it will just be laughed upon.

    If someone alt F4s, their character should still be sitting in game during the timer so they can still be killed

    Usually the character itself doesn't dissapear.

    The server will detect they ended their client and just log them out after whatever delay they set for a normal logout.

    I hope logout delay is more than 10 seconds like most MMO's. Also extend the timer if you've been recently corrupted so you cannot loot someone and ditch the game till things cool off in that area an hour later.

    With how little you will get for killing a player and gaining corruption, if it is viable to log out quickly afterwards I dont think many people would consider it worth doing.
