Could we get a "vacation mode" added to the game so people aren't kicked from allies?

One annoying issue about MCOC is that it demands your time.. IE if you want to be part of an ally you have to take part in AQ and AW.....

Well life happens. People get sick, go on vacation, family member dies, etc etc.... keeping us from the game.

Here lies the problem. In the current meta (as its always been) if you go "AWOL" for a few days.. your ally will kick you. But what if they didn't have to?

My suggestion... a vacation mode... IE a players account could be put in sort of "freeze mode" within their ally. This would allow that account to remain in the group, yet also allow the ally to add a temp replacement while they are away.

Pros? Solves one of the biggest headaches in game history.... Lets "retired" players dip their toes back in as the temps if they want to be.... stops allies from wondering "what happened to X person?" and let's them act without having to cut them off completely.

Cons? I could see this creating a new merc black market and be exploited negatively (IE high end players quitting their allies then selling their "help" for lower tier groups trying to move up in war)

    Or how about just exiting the alliance so they can continue to do AQ and AW.

    If you're going to disney world for the weekend.. should you have to quit your ally for taking your kids to see mickey mouse?
    Yes.

    Why should an entire alliance put everything on hold so you can go on vacation? You want all 29 other people to miss out on AQ or AW rewards just because you won't be able to login?

    Either you missed the entire point of this post or you're trolling? lol... The entire point here is the ally won't have to "put everything on hold" with this added.. the choice shouldn't be either "MCOC is my life" or "I have to quit the game when I can't play for 12 hours"
    What you're suggesting is the same as leaving and coming back. It's a wasted effort for the design team to add plus too many things that can add more bugs to the game.

    no.. leaving and coming back means you're locked out of ally events for 3-7 days. Have you never joined a new ally before?
    I've been in several. Staying in an ally means you get rewards. So Kabam then needs tox find a way to block you from rewards. But to your point, this "temp" now falls under the same 3-7 days for rewards. Who wants to join an alliance for such a short time and possibly not get anything you contributed to?

    It's just a feature that's truly not worth doing.

    This is really a matter of choosing an Alliance that understands when you're not available, and not so much an issue of the game demands.

    You can communicate short absences with your ally and you'll probs be fine. For longer absences, however, I don't think they'll be so lenient.

    What happens to the "temp replacement" when you come back from vacation? Are they booted from the alliance the moment you "unfreeze" your account?

    Seems like this feature could be ripe for abuse.

    How is a 3 BG alliance even supposed to work this way for war?

    You're pointing out a good issue... but would you rather have to figure out diversity on the fly.. or not have that 10th person at all for a week and/or lose a possible high quality member of the group?
    I would rather have a player that can go on vacation and take his path and fights while taking a dump for 5 mins in a day...
    And most alliances do diversity at the beginning of a season not on the fly...
