Yes, I studied psychology and I guess that makes me a psychologist
Your example on reloaded server is actually a very interesting story. Even with a 15 min timer, player still need x amount of time to decide + x amount of time to prepare and in the end they show up in the last minutes or don't show up at all.
What you see can only explain so much even if you are spying on vtech grid but it is safe to assume what can happens to enemy team also can also happen to your own team and vice versa. For example, players arguing about using shit gear, about numbers, about rerolls, about flipping burritos, these things add up.
I was talking about open world experience as i was suggesting to add a schedule for ZC. It's not about the current ZC timer. I'm pretty sure even it takes you (stalker) 1 min to prepare for battle, your whole team is not ready in that time and in the end you will be waiting unless you like to go solo.
Also I think you don't need to quote every of my sentence just to reply since we are only 2 in the discussion right now, unless you have poop memory and can't keep things straight in your mind but saying this would be kind of a personal attack so I will keep this nice and formal.
