AFK Problem/Suggestion

I am a player of almost 1 week and already I have seen throughout the world players who are AFK for over 8 hours on end, I went back one day and saw the same character AFK in the same spot. I was in the game World Ultros, Server Famfrit when all of a sudden I was disconnected and it wasn't due to my internet connection for I would have had problems elsewhere in my apartment. The idea of being kicked so others can join is a mistake on your part, take in to account the AFKers taking advantage of this being away for so many hours on end and please, give them a 10-15 break time and when the time's up disconnect them to the Character screen. Once I was disconnected I tried logging in, and its unfair that once I try it disconnects me again and more than doubles or triples my time it takes to get back in to the game again. By next patch I hope you will consider this so others like me don't have to wait to join a game and be kicked for others enjoyment of being AFK. Thank you for reading.

Game doesn't kick you for that. AFKers aren't congesting servers
If you had that problem today it's because it's patch day, and as it's sadly common, there's issues. All data centers went into emergency maintenance. But don't worry it's not a common occurrence, and soon everything will be fine and smooth :) hope you enjoy your adventures!

They used to kick AFK users but there were so many complaints it was removed. At times like this they should reinstate it. Didn't they do that for a recent patch or am I thinking of something else?
