🐞 [Bug]: Waypoint Default Duration

2.3.8.d490a33

What did you do?

Noticed a Waypoint dropped on the Map. Noticed the expiration date on the Waypoint is 14 years from now. Believe this is probably a result of the defaults on Waypoints to not expire. Screenshot 2024-05-06 at 5 33 41 PM

Expected Behavior

Default should probably be set to expire in a much shorter time such as 24 or 48 hours do avoid old and irrelevant Waypoints to continue in databases for over a decade. If somebody wants to intentionally set a Waypoint for long than a week, there should probably be a confirmation dialogue to discourage that behavior.

Current Behavior

Currently the default for Waypoints is to not expire. This is almost certainly not a great idea.

Additional comments

This is just based on my experience with player created content in general and how if something can be abused it almost certainly will be. Setting a shorter default time will help minimize the impacts of turf wars and jerk-like behavior.
