Auto-Kick after 3min AFK please

Please put timer down for auto-kick to about 3 min afk or so, at least during prime times. Maybe it can reduce queue problems a little bit.

3 min?? That's pretty unreasonable. What if I need to poop?

People who run scripts or have things set up to cheat the system won't be affected. A system like this would likely only hurt honest players who have to AFK more than 3 minutes to use the restroom, or deal with pets, kids, and other responsibilities they can't avoid and need to legitimately AFK a little while to deal with things in.

then you can requeue after poop and it won't take so long again.

Are you telling people they can't use the bathroom - grab a drink of water - eat a snack - stand up to stretch?

That's basically advocating for unhealthy habits and discourages briefly breaking up gameplay with healthy self-sustaining habits.

I think the issue is people can easily avoid the current afk measures through simple physical measures which are not software related. Apart from the game becoming extremely unpopular were probably going to be stuck with error 2002 for awhile.

What SE could do however is introduce CAPTCHA or variants of it in-game perhaps every hour or so (only while servers are having 2002 errors due to congestion) and not while in a duty/instance to filter out people who are actually afk but dodging.

That would be one hell of a way to get people to stop doing their basic necessities only so they can play more.

That or use and abuse anti-afk methods.

How would this help queues? The people kicked out would just immediately be queuing back in, and you'd be faced with all the same congestion errors.

You're completely right, but you don't even have to go that far to find fault with this suggestion. There are roulette queues longer than 3 minutes, among other things.

I can't tell if this thread is supposed to be a joke but if it's not, the idea wasn't thought out very much.

Great idea. Log out to take a 5 mins bathroom break and wait 3 hours to get back in game. NO WAY. 30 mins is a good time. People need to take breaks here and there for restroom, get drink stretch, etc. SE determined 30 min was reasonable and it is.

Not to mention duty ques are more than 3 minutes.

This would only penalize legit players and further make people use anti afk methods to avoid being kicked.
