1 minute AFK kick timer is dumb

Please change it so it doesn't kick you after just 1 minute of being AFK. I was defending a node and moving my camera around, and still got kicked for being inactive. This is counter-productive and encourages mindless rush-and-get-killed type of strategy, and discourages actual defending. I'd have to actually move around and twitch like a damn fool when defending a single spot to avoid this. This makes PVP boring, and dumb.

It's actually 2 minutes. It warns you once 1 minute of inactivity has passed, and then after another minute following, it will kick you.

I do feel however that it should be increased to like 3 minutes. Depleting a node takes longer than 2 minutes, and some matches you do nothing but sit on nodes while the other 2 GC's rip each others hearts out the entire time.

It's 2 minutes^^; you get warning to stop effing around at the 1 min mark, and a full minute after to take a step or refresh an ability, mount/dismount. It should stay as it is to keep eso bots out.

You can't just fidget your character once every ~2 minutes while you're waiting at a node? I wait around and defend nodes all the time, but the only time I ever get the 1 minute warning is while I'm waiting for the match to start in the first place. You don't have to move around like you have a cocaine addiction, you just need to move once every two minutes even if it's literally taking one step.

I love it, I've gotten so many in progress joins at the very start of a match right after the 2 minute window just ended. Btw anyone with stone skin available should never be getting this while guarding a node as long as there's nearby party/alliance members they could be casting it on. Or a bard using the 1 min defensive ability they can cast on teammates. In a match today there was a Schlolar in the alliance working overtime casting Stoneskin on everybody around defending a node while waiting for the enemy to show up, they are unfortunately in the minority of healers as the only Stoneskin I ever get as DPS is in the landing at the very beginning, most can't be bothered to do it if you join in progress before the match starts and they already did SS 2.

I do agree, If you dont move at all. It will kick you about 10 seconds before match begins. I am fine with 2min kick, Just dont start it until after match starts. I think long prep time is a necessary evil until they give the dumb pvp point allotment.

This BS just happened to me. Got up to take a piss while waiting for the match to start. I pressed auto-run a second too late and bam, locked out for thirty minutes. WTF

I think 2 min and a half would be better. waiting for matches to start shouldn't kick you out, seriously.

Just don't go AFK :P

Now this I will agree with. It's pretty silly that you can't go grab a soda or something before the match starts. Especially if you're a class that doesn't even need to apply pre-game buffs.

I don't understand why you would stand in one spot for at least 2 full minutes in PVP? O.O Defending a node?

You sure you did't get kicked? I probably would have kicked you for standing there doing nothing. For around 2 minutes.

I don't understand wehythe system was implemented this way, and I honestly wonder if it isn't a little bugged. I entered Seal Rock with a party member, and he got kicked right before the match started for being away. I'm not even certain it was a full two minutes, unless it counted him as being inactive immediately after pressing the "Ready" button.

Meanwhile, people that are only in Seal Rock to cap on tomes don't bother to respawn after dying, and stay there for inordinate amounts of time. Again, I did not look at the clock, but I'm fairly certain it was for more than two minutes.

To avoid being kicked when watching a node, I generally run around to the other side of it to see if anyone is coming from far away. Just keeping myself busy -- and alive.
