As much as i prefer to side with the harsh punishment of death and pvp, I have to agree with the nonsense hold time. For different reasons though. Also with some modification to the crime system.
Right now i think the crime system makes it to easy to kill crime alts, or make them useless with endless whipping. The way around this is either leave them in game smoking tobacco all day, or make a 10min murder alt. Oh and lets not forget TBC, its almost a guarantee a crime alt is going to die.
Leaving them in game with tabacco is nice for it leaves your toon exposed. But having a alt who has nothing to lose other then 6-7k silver is nonsense. Murder should have way more risk behind it then losing a 7k alt. Especially sense a well developed crime alt is beyond 7k in worth.
Of course, there are other things that need to be fixed, and i think this current strategy is a result of the crime system that needs work. The town stocks are a great and creative idea, only i would change the time in between the sentence, for example instead of being stockaded every 24hrs for a theft scent, have them re-stockaded for half of the time the scent is active. For example, if theft scents are in the world for 7 days, have them only be able to be stockaded 3 1/2 days for THEFT. Sense the crime is minor. Waste 48 timer sense it is a more sever crime and murder ever 24 hours just as i is now, and the time of a scent active in the world for 7 days regardless of type of crime. If it takes you 13 days to log on and find your murder scent, well shame on you. Also have the bail set higher for the crime.
15-20 mins hold seems fair enough to murder somebody you have defeated. With the fixes to the crime system a crime alt should be able to murder w/o the need of a totally separate murder alt. Which ultimately is what im trying to say, there shouldn't be a need to have a toon only for murder.
