The point I'm making is that "talk" doesn't fix things. Action fixes things. Can't you communicate with other staff members to see what you can do about this? As far as I know, the most direct path to the solution is the most promising. I believe Dante would be able to help in some way, as he's already tried to accomplish such a thing.
In the many threads that have come and gone, the same problem keeps coming up- there's not enough players. Not enough players being on the server constantly means that there'll be times where people are forced to spawn camp, due to players not coming back to fight as swiftly as the opposing team prefers, or they won't play at all. I think we're pretty lucky that some people are still playing and we haven't taken away their only means of entertainment by now, even if it annoys others. It helps in the long run, basically. Restating my point, the only way you're going to not have people linger around their spawn points is if there are more people playing on the server- mainly Iricia.
If you don't like spawn camping, or being camped for that matter, you can just go to another planet, right? Whoa, wait a second... I just went on platform, and Darkness is getting spawn camped! How about that. And how about Zone Wars? Same deal, I'm seeing there; obviously, that planet was made for spawn camping, as the power generators are placed RIGHT in the teams' respective spawn locations. KoTH? Yeah: Why defend a four sided hill when you can keep the enemy pinned down in their own base while you gain points over time? I could go on for awhile, trust me, but I recognize that Alpha (Alpha/Spar, but I'm not talking about the Spar area) doesn't have this problem. What's this mean? Well, we can take what we did on that planet, learn from it, and put it to use on other planets!
Now, don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying all planets need to be like Alpha's design; I'm just saying that we can solve this problem with common sense and recycling the resources we already have. A shiney new system isn't necessary at all. Might be nice, but it's not needed. We've got what we need already; all it needs is some modifications and willing people to put the plan into motion.
