[DEV HELP PLEASE]AFK timer ABSOLUTELY NEEDED!

I've been following the 1017 issue as closely as I could for as long as it has plagued me and honestly people are exploiting the login limitations that you are putting in place to alleviate server stress just to avoid encountering 1017 ensuring that they are logged into game by not logging out and going idle for HOURS on end, I have heard things both ways about your plans concerning the AFK timer but I do think that AT LEAST until the NA/EU servers can be STABLE that you absolutely SHOULD implement an afk boot for 30+ min even if it is temporary, so that the maximum amount of READY players are able to access the game

this is tech support, not suggestion forum (not that I don't agree with your suggestion...).

Please post in the right place, in the dozen of other threads created with the same suggestion.

Thanks,

(as we speak I'm plagued by error 1017, can't login for hours).

Agreed really stupid move but hey Jp servers work awesome

Agreed. I know of a few people in my FC alone who are exploiting the lack of an AFK timer just so they don't have to deal with queues or the 1017 world full error. One was even bragging "Oh I afk'd for 8 hours and I'm still logged on!" And when it's pointed out to him that it's people like him that keep those of us from logging in, his response was "No, it's the hundreds of thousands of people playing the game and if you have an issue with queues, just don't log out."

Now I wonder how long I'm going to have to wait to get back into the game since mine crashed (no, not any game errors, just 'stopped responding' when I tried to maximize the window again after alt-tabbing to check my email). Sadly, I can't even get into a queue, just keep getting the 1017 world full error over and over.

Many of us want this AFK timer and it would more than likely help with server stability as well. Please consider putting one in.
