Admitted, that's exactly what a delay would be, a compromise. I'd much rather see Blizzard make a compromise than to see them do nothing.
As it stands currently, I'm afraid to play with half the people I meet on bnet because I can tell they have a good chance of being a PK(and I only play HC). A hostile delay would be nice for me, because it would allow me to play with others more easily.
Although you would still get the jerk hostilers you usually do, I'd just handle them the same way I do now. Ignore them and they go away. Or, assuming they are still in the game after I've taken a snack break or something, I just find a new game. It's annoying, but not too hard.
The only real problem I have with the hostile system now is losing my HC characters to cheap PK tricks. A timer would eliminate many of them.
