Anti Border-Humping idea: Non-Pvp Timers

Border humpers. Anyone who's ever raided a town, or fought at any border has had to deal with them to an extent. This just makes the fight boring, drawn out, and unfair. As a counter-measure, I suggest that all no-pvp zones should be reinforced with a time barrier, so that everyone leaving will have to wait a time of 5-30 seconds before re-entering no-pvp zones. This would encourage better battle tactics, not the freaking hokey-pokey. I understand that timers on every person leaving a no-pvp would increase lag on the server, but maybe it could just be if you take damage upon exiting? In the comments, please expand on this idea, as many great minds will surely perfect this concept.

We're not interested in adding additional weight to the server for things like this.

The NO_PVP -> PVP should suffice along with cleverly placed structures.

My plan would just put soulsand (with ice under the soulsand to increase slow effectiveness) to slow down the time it would take for someone to come out of the boarder and back in, this is the idea of a no-mans-land portion of the boarder to deter people from making use of the no-pvp and pvp area as safe place for them to hunt people. with slowsand it's a deterrent for the camper. i say at the boarder 5 blocks from the pvp and 5 blocks in from the no-pvp so that means if they want to camp the boarder they are in the middle of this 5 radius area.

Of course this sounds silly to be honest but just putting my 2cents as a suggestion for something that is annoying as campers :p

The only problem is that the person would be stuck on the soulsand if they are trying to enter the pvp zone. During that time, a camper can easily kill them.

the idea is that, the camper is at the edge of this pvp border and you see him in the middle of the road ( just hypothetical say hes in the dead center of this soulsand area) the player would have time to see and the slowed camper would taker longer to move to the desired position to take the player out.
Meaning the best option would be for the player to go on the sides where the camper would take more time to get too since hes in the soul sand already, maybe shorten to length to 4 on the pvp side so the player would take one sprint jump and a normal jump and hes scott free.

how you said it makes me think the player will rush at the camper who is in the soulsand already, who would do that? Take the smart move and go to the other side :)
