[Suggestion] Instant respawn tokens

    I brought this up like 1 or 2 years ago. Essentially, you could buy instant respawn tokens for DBC, e.g. 100 DBC for 20 respawns. This would not be available for Certs, only DBC.

    Would this be game-breaking in any way? I think not:
    • Respawn times are still low enough for most players not to care, except for those relatively rare cases when your Sunderer is being attacked and you are just mashing that mouse button in a desperate attempt to defend it
    • Faster spawns do not offer a direct advantage: if you are bad, you'll just give more farm to your opponents, instant spawns won't make you perform better
    This could be a win-win for everyone.

    The situations you presented give a truly biased picture of it. Do consider the "possibilities" of other outcomes and you'll see just how p2w this would be to whom money is not a problem.

    Unless those taking advantage of it were idiots or the worst FPS players in the game, thus not taking an advantage of it, it would be flat-out p2w.

    So, how do you propose to consume the "instant respawn token" in a timely way that wouldn't allow you to accidentally use one when you didn't want to but that any safety prompts before using a token wouldn't last longer than the time it takes to watch the respawn timers deplete normally?
