Guest or New Player 20min default log out

[Rukkirii]

Thank you Qeepel!

With that aside, I was able to obtain information about the guest log-in auto-disconnect setting.

The reason the auto-disconnect setting wasn't set to OFF on guest log-in is to ensure that third parties (such as curious siblings, an angry girlfriend, a revengeful behemoth, etc.) aren't able to access the account if the guest forgot to log out.

While we do realize that there are players who feel this is not necessary because they only log in from private locations, we made the default set to ON to help prevent any risky situations that could possibly occur.

:/ Risky situations aside most if not all players keep their accounts with OFF saved. So family members and others will access their accounts anyway. If someone has gotten ahold of my information the first thing they will do when they have it is change my password and or steal my stuff as soon as they can not go afk for 20 minutes.

Have you ever had a friend get "Facebook hacked" (I hate that term btw) because they were browsing it at the (insert store with computers here) and walked away with it still logged in?

Yeah. Same principle. Internet cafes may be uncommon in the US but not so much overseas.

I can't believe a thread about something as dumb as this will get their attention but anything regarding "Nerf Wars" is just ignored. Actually wait, I do believe it.

I can't believe some user took their time to make a post as dumb as this, but offering constructive advice or criticism they never even considered. Actually wait, I do believe it.

First off Nerf's have been occurring since the beginning of the game. Nerfs happen in all Mmo's

Jobs get buffed up new content and get nerf'ed every update.... why is this a huge surprise to you guys... You demand new content, You demand new buffs and QQ over nerfs that are bound to happen with all new content?? Really??

All I'm asking for is a way to turn Auto Disconnect off for Guest log ins.... Something that has been bugging me since the day I started playing over 7 years ago.

One thing to keep in mind is that while places with public internet access in the US are basically "we are a restaurant with Wi-Fi, bring your own laptop and view internet pornography great and terrible while eating your cheeseburger", such might not be the case in Japan.

I guess Camate has a bit of a reputation around the office, huh?

Really guys, it's not like it's that hard to go into the options and turn it off. One of the first things I do in any game is look through the options to see what's changeable and what's not.

Really guy, you do that every time you turn a game on? After five hundred twenty-seven times starting up Hello Kitty Island Adventure, don't you just wanna skip the visit to the config menu and jump straight into the catty action? So do we.

If it has to default to off, how about making a global config for it and let that one default to off, and it can be changed once for all new guest accounts created?

Would you play FFXI on their machines though? I find that kinda hard to imagine. And with global settings (outside of the account) these could also all default to off and be unchangeable without admin permissions, and the problem would be fixed. And I'm having an even harder time trying to imagine people in public places not signing out of their FFXI account. Can you be that forgetful?

Either way, nothing that isn't fixable.

I agree with this line of thinking. I'm just not sure "someone might play FFXI on a public computer" is as close to moon logic as a lot of people are implying.

I know that impoverished and dorky people can sleep and shower in some internet cafes in Japan, which means there are some drastically different places than any internet cafe in the US. Some of the places have libraries of dorky literature and cinema, also. The name for these places eludes me at the moment, but imagine the dorkiest hostel ever and you're pretty close.

I have literally no idea what kind of stuff people might do on the public computers in a place like that. I definitely wouldn't play FFXI there, but then again, I'd also darken a friend's couch before I slept there.
