Request: Boot inactive players so active players can log in

[Andorian]

Your current policy of never booting inactive players is causing many of the server stability issues that you are experiencing. Locking the servers so people who are actually at their keyboards can't log in is causing frustration and is not a resolution to the issue.

Boot players who are inactive longer than an hour. This will solve many of the problems.

Yes, please. Guild Wars 2 did that wonderfully.

I'd say 15 minutes AFK, boot. Or maybe 30. If it was as long as a full hour, then their should be punishment on top of that like being unable to log in for an additional hour.

/Agree kick the AFK

[keelygoesham]

/signed please..

[Poohball]

before that, fix the fucking queue please.

[vash79]

/agreed. This need to be done and would solve a lot of frustration

[Andorian]

They have already stated that they only queue until the server reaches a certain capacity and then lock the server completely after that. The queue is working as intended, and does not resolve the real issue, that of AFK players taking up the spaces that Active players like you and me would like to inhabit

[Tendeep]

Don't want to sound like a dick, but honestly... this is pure garbage.

Very upset - Not many companies get a second chance, they are killing theirs.

I've seen a very good adaptive system in place for several MMOs in the past. Server load determined how long a character can be inactive before getting a 2 to 5 minute warning. If the character remained inactive after the warning, they get booted at the end of the warning period. Maximum load generally had a 10 to 15 minute inactive period, while low server loads allowed an hour or more. All times are given in ranges to cover the different MMO's I've seen this on.

Adding a check for 2 to 5 warnings in a row with less than 1 to 3 minutes of activity should result in a boot as well, for those who are blatantly trying to waste server space. I'm sure that implementing such a system would take some time, but I've got plenty else to do while I wait
