Can something be done about the utter waste of character server slots by limsa afkers

Or it's simply a lost cause and nothing can be done about it?

Nothing can be done since they're not breaking any rules, just gotta deal with it.

There is no slot limits that are being hit on regular basis. The 'login queue' is not because too many people are on the server, but rather its 'how many people are trying to log in at once'. Timing on that spikes only when too many people are logging in at once, amount of people actually in the game has no effect on that. The problem only arises when you have insane amount of players in same area, that specific area may become hard to enter, but considering that doesn't happen to Limsa Plaza, I doubt it's a real issue.

Depends on your DC or server. Limsa is definitely the place to be on Jenova. Lags like heck there.

Depending on the server they might be talking about zone player count limits preventing people from entering the area. About the only time I've hit that issue personally though is due to hunt trains or the super fate areas for the first couple months after an expansion launches

AFK people do not "waste" server slots as long as you do not get queues over 100 etc.



Cheers

While yes they have no effect on the server login time God I wish somebody would ban them for a little bit. I'm tired of seeing the same group of people always AFK dancing in limsa.

i cant believe this is what people are complaining about really

out of all the issues in the game, this is what makes them go "yeah this is too much"

lmao

Ban people for going afk? What?

What do you want to do exactly? This isn't expansion release, there is no crisis yet.
