Glad to see someone else has the same opinion as me. If only the forums were more used. However, trials can't use the forums so being on so people can leave you a message seems to be more trust-able as a resource to get in touch with people whom are on at different times then you. IE, diff timezones.

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.

I completely disagree about main gmap being a better alternative. Leave it to No-Pk zones, or not at all.

Wait just 1 second. So your telling me if there 20 people online, 18 idling. The server is no fun. But if there is 20 people online and 18 people active, but doing completely random activities that it will impact your experience, lets say mining? Only if those other people are participating too. It's not how many people are active at that point, its how many people are actively doing what your doing.
