I personally still am okay with the 3-4 rounds (thats almost 15 minutes.) for the above 30 players. thats something we as staff agreed on for the most part.
The other one, for under 30 minutes, we agreed on that, but again as stated, dink wants that to be an hour.
This is being blown up far more than it needs to be imo. Staff have been handling the change well. Players haven't even noticed for the most part, and I'm going to sound rude here, but you haven't even been on to see the changes jupiter.

The maps are about 30 minutes (two of those afk is a kick with the new rule)
Time farming is different than afk. This is something everyone needs to know the difference between.
If you are afk, you don't gain points or anything etc, except time on the server. This is only an issue like foxka said, if you're going to apply for staff or etc.
As for the people that connect and never play, there's an easy way to check if they're still connecting, or are actually connected. Do status in console, over half the time, I myself have noticed it still says those players are connecting. (usually people with bad connections or pcs)
This is something that staff have been told to watch for as well.
All in all i still think this is being blown up more than needed, as the staff have adjusted well and this is a change that dink requested.
