Ok lets turn it around, you make last kill and complete appears but get logged off and cant get back on for 5 hours... they should sit there until you get back and click complete?
I have finished lootspots because the person doing the adventure has taken so long to come back, taking away the complete would basically lock anyone in until the person returns.
My advice is advise them not to click once you are done, and if they still do then add them to your ignore list as a player you do not want to sell lootspots to.

In fact with Fairytale adventures I have been known to send last attack which could take some time to walk there, fight and complete and advised the LS person to accept complete as I have had to leave.
Why don't you just make sure your generals are loaded and ready to go home before you send the last attack or is the original poster saying they want to do their last kill, have their general walk home to his camp, pack more troops into him and then send him home. If so then that's poor planning and not rtf in my opinion....

Fishslice, its not everyone that have enough generals to have the option of loading other generals with left over troops, so to have to wait a few minuts for a general to return, exept for fairytale adv, could easy be part of the deal, but it should be made as a point when making the trade.
And don't forget about people who actually want to do an adventure as a team? Yes, it does happen...
Maybe if it was possible if loot spotters could only complete if say the owner was off line for say 15 mins or more.
What if the "owner" didn't log out but left the computer for 5 hours? many people leave Settlers logged in when they go and do other stuff, I know if I had an emergency logging Settlers out would not be the first thing on my list. So again no good.Quote:

Alternatively, if a lootspotter clicks complete it could just free them from the lootspot.
The better idea would be for BB to scrap the super long wait for unassigned troops to get back to your island. I mean they are taking the same route as the generals so why do they have to take 4 times as long? just make them 30 mins just like the normal general.
you should sort out your left over troops before you even sell your ls really if u doint have enough general then you should transfer them ealier but the way i read and understand the OP he could sort his troops before he makes the last attack no need to remove the right of ls to click complete.
i personally always sort me troops either by transfering them back or assigning them to what generals i have before i make the last kill...
like fishslice said poor planning if you dont do this really....
Good idea, but if I understand things correctly, not a fix for everyone.Quote:

Imo, Hazgod's suggestion about a timer after last gen getting back to camp, is a good one, allthough 5 mins is a little short.
That would sort it too. It's the 2 hour wait that annoys me about it. Reducing that to the 30 minutes of slow gen transfer would fix the issue.
Although, as Rafnir said I have had this problem where I wanted to send the vet straight on to a lootspot after making my final kill or something.
In my honest and humble opinion, when I start an adventure, I'd like to click 'finish' myself as well. When I sell a ls I feel it is my responsibillity to be there when the adventure is actually finished. And in case of emergency a ls-buyer could still be asked to click 'finish' for you.
Maybe an alternative is to be able to set the option.
And what I had on my latest adbenture: a ls-buyer wanted to attack another camp then I had already told them to do, not really a big problem for me if you want to speed things up, but if I tell you to do A and you send your general and wait all that time to tell me you'd rather do B, well I'm sorry but too late, I already arranged my final attack and can't change the set-up anymore.
It's just decency really, what we're talking about here.
