I think Idle hotspots are a great thing, you won't always catch the people you want to communicate with online, and people certainly don't use the forums as they're supposed to, by Idling you make yourself available when you normally wouldn't, or you find someone available when they normally wouldn't. And while it's not a conversation pro, leaving a message is.

I would however like to move Idling away from trade houses which are supposed to be filled with active players using the house for it's intended purposes, one could argue that idling inside the trade house allows for better placement for advertising, but setting your nickname to a brief message does a good enough job and to everyone on the server.

While I support the MMT as a social hub, I don't like the Idea of a business being given such a boost, atleast in terms of person's visiting. Allow Idling only on the main gmap, that's my vote.
