Q:
Siege Timing Out
So someone could siege-cap your borderland you could never make it disappear unless the enemy were to come in and take your stuff? What if you needed to put down siege elsewhere on the map?

On the positive side of this, siege used to have a 15minute timer. Simply ask in ts/mapchat to refresh siege timer and perhaps people might do it.

Don’t argue with idiots, they pull you down their level and own you with experience.
IMO 1-hour is too short a time, but the timer is indeed necessary for the reason Chaba stated above. Also, there’s a local siege cap as well as the map-wide one, so sometimes you have to let poorly placed siege time out so you can build properly placed siege.
There was a time where siege wouldn’t decay and the siege placement cap would get maxed out denying anyone from any team the ability to drop siege…
On GoM a few years ago, against HoD and DH there was a day that GoM maxed the siege cap and built a few golems forcing the enemy teams to PVD everything and be defenseless…
1 hour decay timers are short, but they are needed.
