Here is my issue.

There are more players now who don't understand when to stop with hospitalizations than there use to be (there are also a growing number of players who don't know when to stop provoking, but that's another issue). I am disturbed by the amount of players hospitalizing others for multiple days and having them quit. That's not what AL is about.

If you want to attack someone because they made you mad, that's fine. I see no problem with this. Teach the person a lesson. If they continue, then continue the beat down. But there has to be a point where you say to yourself "you know what, he's had enough" or "this is a waste of energy".

While many players show this personal restraint, there are plenty who do not. Some of these players tell me they are only trying to teach a lesson and then they will stop, but then turn around and mail others they won't stop until the other person quits. These types of players are why there was a code that dropped minutes to begin with; unfortunately it affected everyone.

There really needs to be some sort of cost associated with multiple hospitalizations, because currently that cost is players quitting. 1/3rd energy is just not enough. Perhaps as some have mentioned, requiring FULL energy to be able to pick a hospitalization is needed, but the cost remain the same (1/3 energy) or slightly increased (1/2 energy).

Changing all the attack options is really not an option. I'd rather keep it a little more simple than that. The other attack options don't put people in the hospital for 3+ hours.
