This was a fix so you can't abuse the 500k ISK (I think it is?) you get with a new character.
And I mean abuse by giving it to your corp, then delete and make a new character. Rinse and repeat. |

It's only a few hours. I don't see the problem. Don't make a character you won't use. |

Agreed, this is a great addition. Will prevent some poor fool from accidentally deleting a toon that has 10mil SP and 30mil isk.
Patience grasshopper, 10hours isn't long... especially when you have 3 slots you can use. |

Yea i think it was done for the MMO players who may be prone to rage and delete a character on a whim without thought. But yes a 10 hr delay is nice but hardly going to stop people from donating to a corp if they are determined.
I mean lets take zion for example who has 200 plus members. If they all had 2 alt accts on top of main. They could very easily accumulate 200 million ISK in a singel transaction and continue this every 10 hrs. Which mean 400million ISK a day with a 4 hours left.
If there aim is to reduce that type of activity they need to come up with a better system. Like either a tax on corp donation or if the value of donation exceeds a certain amount within a 10 hr period or simply create a cap that limits that donation within a 24hr period.
Point is there are better ways to do this than the current method if that was their primary aim. As it is i think it is nice feature to prevent accidental or rage related character deletes. |

This clock as also done to prevent 'character farming' exploit that's possible by scripting dust 514 to make a new guy, send isk to corp then istant delete, rinse repeat.
This was also done as well as to prevent stolen account cleanups (its a new favorite thing RMTers do for retaliating against the company now to **** the stolen character as much as possible that it too cannot be restored) |

I seriously don't see any problems here. You don't want a character anymore then fine, delete it.
CCP/GM/DEV ??? (forgot whoever it was) already addressed this somewhere on the forums. It is indeed against dumb people rage-deleting their characters and against the "donate 1 million (2alts) " as much as you want.
I personally think they should go even further then that... but that's a whole different story

CCP said in the forums that it's an exploit, which is bannable offense. So if you report they will check their logs and probably ban that PSN id. :)
Delete delay is OK, because ragequits usually don't last more than 10h... unless physical damage is done to the console. ;-) |

Just remember you have to reconfirm your delete after the 10 hours so even if you do rage quit your console. You can eventually get back on after you get a new console and still find him there waiting for cancellation of the delete or reactivation. |
