I fail to see this "problem" as more than a storm in a cup.
Outpost battles take two hours from a day. Just. Two. Hours. (or one hour, in the future)
Most outposts are not placed at bottleneck points; there is always another path, going *around* said outpost. The only exceptions are Westgrove and Ginti, and even then .. you can go the long route unless both are under attack at the same time.
So, considering this, most regular players will NOT be inconvenienced by battles: they can find another time to trek around, they can take a detour around the outpost, or they can use power-ups to pass through untouched (even if forced to get tagged). Instead, alts and neutral ammo crafters are going to be inconvenienced. Cry me a river...
