That would take some major adjustments.... what happens if u get disabled 5 min after you log off? your next login is 12 hours later ... lose half your days income due to bad luck ... have to give this idea a -1


Sorry for the confusion. I dont mean that you would not collect the resources every hour, i mean that you couldnt hit the collect button to actually harvest them unless you were not disabled. SO you would still be able to store them up but not actually put them to use until you fixed yourself.

my point is, this is kinda seems like a low rank problem



I would think that too if I had not seen it myself but surprisingly i am talking about players that routinely do this and are above rank 600. Notably all of them are from a questionable legion that you can find at the very top of the leader board.

That would be more acceptable... tho im not sure it would prevent them from hiding, it sounds like they are hiding when offline primarily, so not collecting when they are already not collecting wouldn't stop them from doing it.

Nope, they collect the whole time they are disabled, or at least most of the time. Every time i look they have 0 resources but are still disabled. Then, they finally get the courage to come out and play. Do their thing and then self disable for the rest of the day and sit back and collect.
