When I say that, Retainers as I've heard, will be online while you're offline.
So there's no need for AFK selling anymore.

Staying logged in is the only way you can play the game. My game unfortunately just crashed on a minimize.. ill try logging in around 10 hours from now and should possibly be able to get back on. (3AM)

Don't try to justify a blatantly selfish and disgusting act.

I apologize if I came across as defending them. I personally think it's selfish to take up one of a limited number of login spots. I'm also not able to personally control or monitor every single person from SA who also plays FFXIV, so unfortunately my hands are tied here; even if I remove them from the FC, they'd still be able to idle, so that wouldn't resolve the issue.

If you have any further concerns, please let me know and I'll strive to address them.

Are you... really a goon? :P

Really though, I can't quite say I'd blame anyone for afking at this point.

This is unacceptable. Every online game has an afk kick timer. Put one in and the login problems will decrease.

These damn goons take over every MMO they play and now they're exploiting the system to keep other players from being able to login.

nope , increase server capacity is the answer

Some people are dicks...It's a fact of life.

Lets hope they get a 90k error and locked out like the rest of us then hit with a 1017. /fist shake

At least no one is yelling "TO OPEN THE AUCTION HOUSE HIT ALT + F4" yet ...
