What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This would make it so that it is no longer allowed to have someone hiding to continue a raid on a base or the PD.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not to my knowledge.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
It would make raids a little more fair as raiders couldn't negate the raid cooldown by having someone hide until their NLR is over.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
It could make raiding unbalanced in favour of the defenders, especially in the cases of large mega-bases.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
It's a fairly common tactic and it's not easy to defend against. It essentially allows the raiders several attempts at raiding a base, making it considerably more difficult to defend. Often someone will hide nearby the base to continue the raid despite not actively taking part. Similar instances also happen in the PD where someone will hide in a corner.
I think this should be disallowed, basing is already not that ideal in terms of making money and the fact people can continuously come back because someone is hiding is another factor that's offputting to people wanting to base. If a base successfully kills all intruders it should be GGs and 30 mins, not 3 minutes because someone is crouched near the base.
Alternatively, make it so that the raid cooldown applies to the player and not the group raiding. So a player can't re-enter a raid for 30 minutes (15 for PD).
Basing/raiding balance is always very difficult to get right and ideally I think a complete reform is probably best, but for now removing this would make basing a bit more appealing and hopefully will lead to higher player retention.
