Personally I can see both the pros and cons of doing this
Pros:
Less people sitting at IDOCs doing nothing
Increased people at IDOCs when its going to fall increasing PvP
With less people worried about checking IDOC's they're free to pursue other things in game
Housing prices should also go back up slightly since the constant falling of houses will slow
Rare values should also slightly increase since less IDOC'd rares will be obtained
Cons:
The ability for people to get massive groups and just camp IDOCs somewhat stacking the odds
Less people on because less of a need to check house decay state
More and more people can find out about 1 IDOC making it substantially harder to protect it
and actually get more loot from the IDOC to profit
Just my personal opinion even though I don't IDOC at all myself
Pros:
Less people sitting at IDOCs doing nothing --- There will be the same amount of IDOCs
Increased people at IDOCs when its going to fall increasing PvP --- SAme people because of the same amount of IDOCs
With less people worried about checking IDOC's they're free to pursue other things in game --- People that hunted IDOCs will still do so even after the patch
Housing prices should also go back up slightly since the constant falling of houses will slow --- Houses will remain with the same price because there will be the same amount of IDOCs
Rare values should also slightly increase since less IDOC'd rares will be obtained --- See above
Cons:
The ability for people to get massive groups and just camp IDOCs somewhat stacking the odds --- How does this even apply? IDOCs will still fall and the same amount of people would be there
Less people on because less of a need to check house decay state --- You need the same amount of people online to time an IDOC. The system hasnt been altered
More and more people can find out about 1 IDOC making it substantially harder to protect it
and actually get more loot from the IDOC to profit --- Just because the final stage is a few hours longer it doesnt mean that hunge numbers compared to before will show up... wtf
I dont know where you got all that from but what you said is completely innacurate. The same amount of IDOCs will be happening, same people will be there, you will need as many people to time them right and same fights would be going on.
