I'd like to see the flee command change so that if you are not in combat, you won't flee. I've seen many many people die because they typed flee just as their wimpy kicked in. It's not very realistic, and is one of the more frustrating ways to die.

Double Fleeing
I actually like this idea personally.
Recommendations for not dying now:
Yup, if you are zoning let the group leader decide what you do.
If not zoning, and you have a reliable connection, use manual flee. If you don't trust your connection with your life, use wimpy and as stated by Tovar, just wait for it to kick in.
I agree that it is a bit stupid (and unrealistic) to be running around like a chicken with your head cut off when you spamflee, and likewise even if you just wimpy and then flee once back into danger, it isn't at all realistic, but it is REALLY funny to watch!
Huge laughs, especially if you happen to be, say 1w and someone enters from the east, panics and leaves east, then a death cry ROFL. Sorry, death is never fun, but I just find that sooo funny.
Realistically, your idea makes sense and would make the game easier.
prob with waiting for wimpy: you get bashed, then critted, you won't be leaving the room, you'll be standing up instead. You then get whacked again before you flee, so you could be dead.
prob with 0 wimpy and using manual: lag=death
I can't think of any argument against the 'no flee while no combat' idea except that some people like to have their flee trigger for when a dim door opens kick in before combat starts

I think this is a terrible idea (no offense) 
. There have been numerous times where I'm spamming to get to somewhere, and run into a room where I have like .5 seconds to react, or die. In those cases, you dont think rationally (i.e. I just entered from the east so I should go west now so I dont engage the mob and die). Instead of thinking rationally and typing west (w), just hit flee. This little bit of code has saved my ass numerous times and it SHOULD NOT be changed!

I guess most people won't remember this. But they DID put in code to where you could only flee if actually in combat and everyone loved it. The problem? It broke all tracking mobs for some reason. Was totally hilarious. They yanked it within an hour and it has never been back. I had no idea WHY it broke trackers, or even what they could possibly have to do with each other, but it was damn funny This was back on early toril I believe. Think it was D2 that did it.
This was back on early toril I believe. Think it was D2 that did it.i have to agree with the idea of flee only working in combat. i have died so mant times to a double flee, whether by my own fault of because wimpy kicked in, that it is just silly.
escape doesnt work in combat, why not just do the same with flee, you could save a lot of people some long walks that way ;)
jus a thought,
Cir - "well, that wasnt what i meant to do"

This is the reason I don't use wimpy while at my keyboard. Being a caster who is constantly casting spell after spell (failing quickchant entirely too much for skill level) wimpy is not for you.
I use an alias for "fl" to "abort;flee". And then I use trigger for panic you can't escape to flee me again if I happen to fail. I find this method most flawless.. and will remain strongly opposed to wimpy forever.
