@rockyboy1998 I half agree. I do do what you say when I'm carrying a tms banner. I look for a spot with 0 enemies & decent loot. But I feel it's better to have your whole team back as soon as possible. But if I know I can't bring them back, I'd rather leave the banner so they can leave the game.

There are toxic tms that pick up your banner & make you sit there til they die unless you want to take the penalty. And that's what I think the OP is talking about here. I think those kinds of players should be given some type of punishment like a leave penalty or points taken.

You can freely leave after 2 1/2 minutes, even if they picked up your banner (from the time they picked it up, I believe). I've never bothered waiting because I don't care if I abandon a game, but probably you'll know if you try and see if the warning comes up. If it doesn't you're safe is what I understand.

Really good players often take a long time to respawn you because they aren't interested in getting you or themselves killed when the dropship comes. Having said that, yeah, sometimes that's just too long to wat.
