PvE madness will be dealt with after the next update and who will still abuse it, will get airstrike and banhammer in his face.

I wonder how many factions still abuse this on TC? You could just report, and good people without PvE TC will get towns.
Because there is nothing done to prevent them from doing it.
Also suggestions on the subject:
- longer respawn timer for companions - their bodies should disappear after 1 minute like player's body does for the purpose of next point
- companions should lose ALL gear after dead, including armors (just like players leave a pile of loot on ground when they respawn)
so when your companion is dead you have to loot him or lose his gear if you can't - more to risk
- slaves should be able to equip weapon only when said "guard this location" via dialog in player's private locations: tent, base, mine.
- slaves should flee on worldmap if their master has combat timer on
