OV Players Punished for Trying to Change Zones

I'd like to ask that Onslaught be fixed so that if you try to switch zones while playing as an OV, you don't immediately lose your OV.

When you do, you are stuck with a more than 1 hour long 'Genetic Exhaustion' timer. Why? All I wanted to do was go to a less active zone so I could complete my villain daily, because the zone I started in had seemed to have too many OVs in it already. Instead now I've lost my OV, and I tried to buy another transform token not realizing that there's an arbitrarily long, 1 hour cooldown preventing me, as if I'm being punished for trying to change zones.

If the devs refuse to fix the above, I'd ask they at least do the following:

1) Add a warning when trying to change zones as an OV saying that you will lose your OV transformation if you do
2) Restrict players from being able to spend Guardian Tokens or Questionite buying Onslaught Tokens / Becomes while affected by 'Genetic Exhaustion', so as not to waste your hard earned on something that'll most likely decay before you can use it. (Become tokens have a 30 minute decay; Genetic Exhaustion can last well over an hour)
3) Consider lessening 'Genetic Exhaustion' length; why is it so long? What is it there to prevent? It seems kind of arbitrary.

I submitted ticket #3,876,758 about this.

    It's one of the measures to prevent an OV on low health from denying other players the actual kill.

    I'm fairly certain that the Onslaught Agent will tell you not to switch zones in one of his dialogue options.

    When I'm using an OV I always scope out the area where I'm going to earn my dailies before activating the device to see if there is any OV already there (I always go to the Unity/Until building). If there is I just switch zones then. No problems.​​

    This is great until you get a SNR issue and disconnect. This has happened to me twice now, as I try to get my alts into OV gear.

    I'd never deny players their kill. I go out of my way to provide that every time. But I'm stuck in the middle because of some bad apples.
