I believe a 9 hour safe (or even longer) would [in the long run] increase the amount of players because people would leave the game open, and it's a lot easier to be enticed to play the game if it's already open. People will complain for a bit, but as I said in the long run I believe more people would play, or be inclined to play with longer safe zones. I find running to safe is more admirable then pressing ESC+Q .... not mentioning any names. Sometimes people want the freedom to green some reps without being chased by 4 people, it makes the game what it is. Plus going to safe provides many opportunities to get bursted, or mess up and bounce wrong and get taken out.. a lot of big kills happen around safe zones.. The very act of running to safe most times gets people killed therefore I don't see a problem with it. I still think more people would be inclined to play if the game was already open and sitting there in their taskbar.
