Meh the real issue is that the AI responding to players trying to abuse these would be the best way.
Making it take longer just makes it a more patient man game.
Devs said they plan to add AI searching for stealth characters in combat, so that's coming.
An AI response to players fleeing would discourage constant use would be ideal. Hell just make a karma system wear NOCs look down you and drive buying prices up and selling prices down
