Defending

I'm enjoying the game so far, but have an idea/suggestion for a mechanic that could be interesting.

Currently there is no way of standing up to someone who mugs you with a stealth mugging or who hospitalises you constantly.

What if players could defend each other? So I click on a friend or factionmates profile and click a "defend" button. I then sit on them for a set amount of time and then automatically attack anyone who attacks them?

Could maybe allow a maximum of two defenders so it doesn't make it too imbalanced?

Could be a good way for people who win big lotto or slot wins to stay safer if they pay a high level player a cut to defend them until they've stored/spent the cash.

A factionmate suggested it could work like the wall mechanic. Also 2 defenders may be overkill but that could be lowered and still be interesting.

This would ruin both Dog tags, and Elim comp, make it impossible to buy mug, grant a disgustingly unfair advantage to players with wealth, make it near impossible to remove people from a territory wall and make Hitmen/bountyhunter players lives miserable.

I really don't feel like getting jumpscared by Bodybagger when trying to attack a level 12 honestly.

It would make it more like real life though, rich people always walk with an entourage.

People buy slices of cake for ten million dollars.  It's not supposed to be like reality.
