I'd rather see premium ammo rrmoved flat-out.
pvp'ers are not impatient , its just that it can be so much easier and less time consuming waiting for the premo check clips to upload and be checked before every fight, it would also be more inviting for a non pvp'er to join in if they want + pvp is a great credit sink so this means more quality gameplay in generalChecks are done on buckyball racing too.
One of the requirements for a certain race was to record it on movie for the entire duration and it was a 2.5h race. On XB...
Checks are not silly and maybe PvP-ers should be less impatient.
And lets not mention all the checks that are done in RL competitions... Because let's face it. Cheaters are everywhere.
Honestly I'd just make premium take less time or be uninterruptable or something if it must be present and ditch the damage bonus. There, you can spend your expensive materials on getting your guns filled with less chance of interruption, or use cheaper synths if you're not under pressure, with basic being the one to top up your ammo when you're out of combat (while taking the most time)
like...
basic - refills half your ammo
standard - refills ammo to full in the same time as a basic synth or maybe slightly faster
premium - refills ammo to full, either faster than a standard synth or cannot be interrupted
