PPT ON/OFF switch

I don't often post suggestions, and I normally get shot down whenever I do, and I know there's a lot of people that don't like PPT anyway, but i'm not bothered, I'm still going to post my suggestion. Shoot me down if you like, but I still have a right to post suggestions.... lol getting a bit carried away there!!!!

I was thinking of having an ON/OFF or START/STOP PPT button. So for example, you trade on the market for a 48 hour PPT. You get the PPT, but it doesn't start automatically. You can press a 'Start' button to start the PPT whenever you like. Let's say you wanted it on PPT for 10 hours, you start it then when you get back on you can stop it. 10 hours will have been taken off the 48 hour PPT leaving you with 38 hours. Then later on you can start it again and it will continue counting down from the 38 hours. Once the 48 hours has been used then obviously you have no more PPT.

Also, if you trade for PPT, but you haven't used all of it by the market reset day then you lose whatever you had remaining, unless you are actually on PPT at the time.

This idea doesn't give people more PPT, or take away PPT, but it gives players the opportunity to control their PPT.

An issue I thought of with this is what if people are on PPT, they then stop their PPT, farm someone, then go back on to PPT straight away again... this could easily be solved with a time limit between if you hit someone and when you can 'continue' your PPT.

So thoughts, suggestions?..... here's the pistol if you wanna shoot me down.... :-D

Re: PPT ON/OFF switch

Sorry mate :)

But 48 * 2 = 96 / 7 = 13.7 hours per day, lovely to cover the time i'm sleeping every single day + more.

So instead of 96 hours covering 4 days of 'afk' ness, i could make my PPT last for all the times im not at a PC, and never ever likely to get attacked.

However i dont use PPT, but would annoy me if i couldnt hit people while they sleep :P

This is jsut gonna make it even more cushy for players you buy PPT it lasts 48 from when you bought it thats it being able to switch it on and off makes the game too easy.
Bad idea.

Re: PPT ON/OFF switch

it would be 2 easy to abuse, in terms of you could then mass someone in war

as soon as notice an attack on you , flick the switch and then wait a few minutes, flick of switch mass someone else trying to mass you, then flick on switch again.

etc
