Only annoying thing about GCC is when the timer is reset back to 15mins when doing nothing but going near a gategun. Is it a bug originally and then accepted as a feature?
That's not GCC, that's the aggro timer. You can let your GCC run out but still have aggro to the stations and gates.

back in the day when i was a pirate i ignored the gcc and sat my ass on the gate and welcomed the beating of the guns with glee. it was a badge of courage, ive even had some of my best fights under the gcc. to fight off a bs and a bc and kill another at the same time all the while tanking the sentry was me at my best, and yes i was all alone for that one.
so what you get shot for 15 minutes... build a setup that can easily tank it and move on.

If 15 minutes is "dead time" because you're just hiding somewhere to wait it out, it clearly isn't long enough to be working. Let's make it a 1h timer and see if pirates will still be hiding stupidly or if it then works as intended (i.e. has consequences for them).
How is 15 minutes of not being able to go into highsec and being shot at on gates or stations not a consequence?
Not being able to go to highsec is no problem with the countless alts nowdays.
Being shot at on gates/stations is mildly annoying, but obviously not as big a concern as boredom according to the OP.
How to PVP: 1. buy ISK with GTCs, 2. fit cloak, learn aggro mechanics, 3. buy second account for metagaming

Too bad you can't forum-gank people :/ Lots of carebears have posted in this thread.
I agree with the OP on this one, but I can see why all these carebears are getting the tear ducts flowing.
Let's consider the benefits/drawbacks of the timer from different perspectives:
Carebear
Benefits:
ò Extra DPS on pirates looking to kill me at gates/stations
ò Free aggression on anyone with GCC
Drawbacks:
ò Potential loss of demand caused by (lack of)destruction of property -> decreased prices on items -> less profit
Pirate
Benefits:
ò Potential incentive for my targets to aggress me (they can't dock/jump and I may look like an easier kill)
Drawbacks:
ò More incoming DPS
ò More time I have to spend away from station/gate
All in all, the mechanic is more or less balanced. Being a pirate, I'd be down with the timer being dropped to 5 minutes rather than 15. The result is the same: I have to be smarter about when I attack. GCC won't stop me from killing a ship unless I'm by myself and the ship equals or is larger than my own ship's class, which doesn't happen very often to begin with (I'm usually with friends and flying a larger ship, BC or BS).
The only reason carebears would want the GCC to stay where it is, or to increase it, is because it would mean less possibility of them getting ganked in lowsec, which is a complete fallacy anyway. If a pirate wants to blow you up, they'll do it with or without GCC. We're resourceful enough and can typically summon help if needed. How often do carebears come into lowsec anyway? Not very. If a carebear comes into lowsec alone they basically deserve to die. All you have to do is go in a gang; your typical small pirate gang of 2 to 4 ships will think twice about attacking a fleet of ships twice its size. I might attack, but that's just me :)
