I happen to know an online game gives you chances to hide your self for a moment to do something. Or you can do what I ask the moment you die. So don't tell me you can't pause. Because Mommy knows more than you think.
You're not familiar with many online games, are you? Yes, most people CAN do things after they've died-- but that depends on the type of game they're playing. Some MMOs allow revival, some have dead chat that can be relevant to gameplay, some "deaths" are just temporary and you respawn-- either instantly, but at an inconvenient location, or after a short time period. If you're participating in any kind of group and/or time-limited event "hiding" or abandoning it entirely when you die often doesn't work, can dick your team over, is not practical, or various combinations of the above. Waiting until the end of a round or event is usually the only opportunity most players have to "pause."
