i kind of agree but what if your only going away for like say 3-5 days
5 days only means an extra 2 days out the game but for 3 days it's unfair unless he made it so you could ppt for 4 days using the 2 as an accumulator
I agree, Easy^ suggested about a year ago that you should be able to set off a 4 day PPT, that way a minimum of 5 days on vacation would be fair.

maybe cause this is supposed to be an online game where people dont have to sit in front of a computer all day to make progress? you are not supposed to put hardwork in a computer game <-- just my opinion though..
Hard work is a metaphor be serious..still there are objectives obtained through the completion of tasks so I ask again, why bring laziness up and hard workers down? its stupid
Whats this laziness ( or having a RL ) argument got to do with abusing vacation mode ?

Why not? That's like saying you don't put hard work into other games, or even sports.....
Competition is competition. And GW's is very competitive.
I dont think a Sports analogy works, not unless you consider $$$ spending to be the equivalent of taking steroids.

a week or two makes sure that its not just the 1 day but ensures that the PPT + vac isnt abused
and i do think that alliance PPT should count as a PPT for vacs at least
Even now you have to wait 24 hours so you cant react instantly to a RL emergency, and Im sure if you emailed admin and said 'I have a genuine RL emergency please vacation my account until I return' they would do so.
Point is Vacation and PPT were originally intended to allow breaks from the game for RL without leaving your account as an easy unattended target, NOT a way to let you generate resources without ever being vulnerable.
