Guest or New Player 20min default log out

[Rewyen]

I don't see how that addition would make the game less playable. You'll have to explain that one.

Well if the intention of having a feature enabled to NOT log you off after 20 minutes of not PLAYING was made readily available, all it would do is cause massive congestion as people would be logged in, stagnant (ie- Port Jeuno) all hours of the day doing absolutely nothing. This doesn't make it less playable, per se, but I would think it would be far more annoying walking through a mob of people than having to manually switch to auto-disconnect to off.

To touch on the "end of the world" statement; how you got threatening to quit and calling for heads out of that is your issue, but to clarify it in a language that is more clear:



If they fix it for you all, great. If not; suck it up and do it like everyone else.

You fail as a troll but thank you for constantly bumping my thread and making it become a "Hot topic" so this thread gets noticed faster.

Your every post is helping me obtain my goal of getting Auto-Disconnect turned off at start. I Thank you.

DEVs PLEASE again please make a Poll and let us Vote..... This poll would show you that this is a great idea and many many players hate 20 minute Auto-Disconnect.

Estimated Guess but well over 95% of the people in Congested areas already have auto-disconnect OFF. Auto-Disconnect this late in the game ONLY effects New Players and Guest Log ins. Everyone Else has it turned off.....

So congestion is a non-issue when in relation to Auto-Disconnect. The only way to keep Auto-Disconnect at 20 minutes is if the DEV team allows us to have more than 4 saved log in accounts. Four is an incredibly low number for most of us who have been playing the game longer than 5 years. If you really truly only have been playing longer than 5 years and have less than 2 accounts you are either the biggest loaner alive or your friends know they cant trust you enough with their information.

LET the public vote....

When the hell did the term "troll" become so universally misused? Making a counterpoint or argument is not trolling. But if it helps your cause, sure, why not :P

If you wanted to produce a counterpoint you would have done so with only 1 post... Posting after every single person posting... That is spam and trolling. You already posted your counterpoint once twice three times four times and everyone has already told you and given you the reason why this is important to some people. So you know the reason why yet you keep posting so you are a troll.

Anyway nothing to see here move along.... SE please turn auto correct off !!! Thank You

Such language and actions are considered a violation of the forum guidelines, and can result in the termination of your account. Also, purposefully bumping threads is not allowed.

Remember, everyone is entitled to their opinion. There is no need to make inflammatory comments towards other members that have opposing or different points of views or opinions. The same goes for those who feel the need to defend themselves against such comments, which is needless and futile. Such behavior is not constructive and only clutters a thread. If you have a problem with a post, please place the player on your ignore list and report the post if necessary.

Thank you.

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.

[Karbuncle]

I understand their reasoning.

Best to just turn it off when you log on, Or make yourself not a "Guest" on the account. (If you're using a Token its not like they'll be able to get into your account anyway).

If you're just going to remember to remove it, Think of it as a training in your memory, This change isn't worth the time it would take to correct, So instead, it'll teach some of us to remember important things.

Dev teams doing us a favor , Can always use more Brain-Training.

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.
