Instant logout is ruining every part of this game

Well, call me naive, but I still think we can make GGG see reason. If anything, the fact that we have years of history behind us should give us additional perspective and evidence that some things just aren't working the way they expected.

In fact, wouldn't it be kind of arrogant of anyone to think that every design choice they made years ago will have stood the test of time forever?

They opposed other ideas with same attitude before - lockstep ruining the hardcore mechanics because too laggy, item allocation because hardcore cutthroat (but dare to write their name on forums and you're banned - cutthroat much). And still they have changed that.

Just give them another few years, I'm sure they will do it just right after the trade improvements. kek'bur

And yes, this only Steam-charts argument is pretty dumb. :P This is enough to say that trends will be similar. I can't quite imagine a reason they shouldn't be.

The only thing I use instant logout for is exiting the game when I get a latency spike over 1000+ for more then a few seconds when in maps, and don't feel I have time to use a portal. When this happens in combat, I never know if I'm dead or not when I log back in... maybe a little more then half the time I'm alive if I hit alt-f4 while at full life.

Sure, this happens rarely, maybe once every week or so? However, it takes me a long time to get a character over 90 in HC, several weeks at least - I would assume that if an additional timer was added to force my character to just sit there after I exit that there would probably be a close to zero chance of surviving those situations.

HC Leagues are already screwed by every other design decision GGG has made over the years - this would probably be the nail in the coffin for the rest of us, though I'm starting to not care anymore... it's almost a lost cause at this point.

I have ran thousands of maps with friends over the years, and I can count on one hand how many times someone exited the game to avoid death - seriously. (and only some of the time lived) What a terrible problem that so desperately needs to be fixed by killing many more HC characters through no fault of their own. Yea. I don't get it I guess.

Heck, they even backtracked on their stance on in-game trading, if ever so slightly, with the addition of premium tabs.

Although now that I think about it, maybe that too was only because Xbone needed in-game trading. :|

A bump to the thread since I think it is still relevant. :V

I'd honestly love to hear someone from the opposite side of argument. I honestly can't quite find reasons against the idea, but at the same time I'm pretty sure there are some.
