The way the site is currently setup with the Beast/BBJ, it essentially encourages mass multi-tabling. It's main promotion is about putting in as much volume as you can, gaining points, and getting paid for it.
And it's not so much about the timebank on the active table not automatically activating, as it is about the timebanks on all the other tables not activating. When I run into a difficult decision and need to take time, I have no trouble pressing the timebank on the table with the difficult decision. The problem arises on the other tables. They no longer pop to the front since you already have a table demanding action, and their timebanks aren't activated. So you take time on the table you need, but on all the other tables you are timing out.
When if there was an auto-timebank, when I hit my timebank it would activate on all other tables as well. And I'd actually get my additional time to think about the tough decision. Rather than have to spend that time hearing all the other tables beeping for acton, or trying to hurry through my other tables to click the timebank there as well.
Honestly, when a site takes additional rake for a promotion that encourages large amounts of volume, I don't think it's outrageous to ask for a little bit of help and to put in an auto-timebank. The fact that they haven't is rather infuriating honestly.
