Get rid of the Auto-Logout already or make it an option in the menu.

I'm honestly curious. Please, show me the "bad puclicity" that has stemmed from the COMMUNITY REQUESTED auto-logout feature.

Those are all features that been asked over and over by the community since game launch, and SE has its reasons to not allow it, either because it is in contrast with the game's mechanics (being with a chocobo companion or with FATE groups makes you be effectively in Party, in contrast with your entry to the Duty Finder as solo), or either because they fear it'd be exploited (more allowances/quests), and there are already plenty of threads about this request, which is not in this one. Removing the log-off DURING Duty Finder queue cannot be exploited and is not in contrast with any of the game's mechanics.

It's like I'm asking for a door to stay open when I'm preparing to leave a room and you're suggesting I should ask for the whole wall to be removed.

Is there really an argument over this? Grow up people is it really that hard to log back in? few month s back the "no auto login" feature was a really big problem. Not only because of 3102 and all the other errors but for a fact that people where hogging up servers, leaving the computer to go eat somethingfor a half an hour or go to work for 6 to 8 hours tops! It sickens me that 1017 could have been bipast but it happened and me with thousands of people locked out for the first 2 weeks. Get your shit together because 1017 can always return.

If I want to play a game I usually don't sit in front of the monitor for 30 minutes doing nothing...
I see no problem with the current system.

quoted for truth ^^

stop acting like idiots already and just play the game, then you won't be logged out

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

Auto log is implemented so that people don't clog up the servers with people that aren't playing... If you need to stand around and read something for 30 minutes... YOUR NOT PLAYING... I read stuff all the time while i'm running around playing... This feature does as intended and perhaps you should play the game rather than sitting their idol...

The one good thing that can still come from this thread, actually there's a few.
The devs will fix the auto-logout so it can't be so easily circumvented.
The devs will decide that 30 minutes is maybe a little short, provide us with an option between 15 and 60 minutes.
The devs will decide that having the tone be adjustable, both what tone is used, and how loud.

Cause really, if your gone for an hour you aren't playing anyway. At the moment there may be a surplus of space, though I'm inclined to think that is due in large part to the fact that we can't just sit idly 24/7, but population surges tend to happen with patches and expansions. How annoying would it be to be locked out for 3 days after 2.1 hits?

Ages must pass between days I play, 'cause I usually wind up getting AFK-kicked once a week because of talking on phone or to roommate.
