2 MINUTES???

I waited 8 minutes for your ridiculous queue to pop. I'm in a match, I die, while I'm reviving I walk upstairs and use the restroom. When I get back I have been removed from the match for inactivity.

What the hell is this 2 minute inactivity timer BS on PvP? Is this some sort of stupid, sick joke? This is absolutely ridiculous! I just went to the bathroom! I didn't wander off and make a sandwich or some equally time-consuming thing to purposefully be afk during a PvP match!

You should use the bathroom before you start things, though.

2 minutes is a very long time to be doing nothing during a pvp match. Take care of what you need to take care of before hand.

2 minutes seem generous to me already - in PvP it matters that you've got a full team the whole time so if you cant stick around for that, the rest of the team is better off finding someone who can. We've got enough trouble with people afk'ing in some part of the map already, just leeching and not taking part in the match.

Given that a match last a maximum of 30 minutes and often less than that, 2 minutes are quite a lot of that time. And 30 minutes are also not so long that you cant plan for a bathroom break that doesnt inconvenicen other people. Just a heads up btw: you'll be kicked out of a dungeon after 10 minutes of inactivity.
You're not playing this game alone and wether its PvP or a dungeon its inconvenient for the rest of the team if you just vanish - except that in a dungeon your team can agree to just wait for you and idle a bit, while in PvP the match goes on and your team is now one down.

Cant comit to a 30 minutes long duty right now? Then dont accept it.

That's why you take your bathroom break during the "ridiculous" 8 minute queue instead of from your team's active time.

so you are upset that you got auto kicked for being afk..... after going afk.

also 2 minutes can mean A LOT during a PvP match. Learn to plan your toilet breaks better

So you saw a 5 second revival countdown and decided "yeah, that's for sure enough to go to the bathroom?"

Uh huh...

It's there because people liked to leach on other people by sitting at base and doing absolutely nothing for a measly amount of exp. It was a godsend when they added it and I sincerely hope it never leaves. And also unless it was Secure those two minutes can often been 20% if not more of the match. Next time just wait for the game to be over and go to the bathroom or go before hand.

What happened to pee buckets?

That's how fast you can run through Emerald Coast!

Or round one in a fight against Cammy.

I hope you washed your hands, at least.

At least you only have to wait 8 minutes or less for the next Que

I wonder if he choosed Flames as GC, that would explain alot.

Just needs to time it better. I've hit confirm when the queue pops, run off to the bathroom and made it back just before the gate goes down and the game starts.

I mean, when you gotta go, you gotta go.. but, 8 minute queue? *cries in DPS*

WoW had an interesting glitch that let you pause dungeon queues. You could sign up for a proving ground run (Practice session with NPC's that used the queue mechanism, but was instant) When you did this, it saved your position in the regular queue, but wouldn't let it complete. You could use this to go AFK for a bit without penalty. I'm wondering if there's something similar here that hasn't been discovered yet.

I'd have vote dismissed you for afk after 30 seconds.
It's not some rando 123 dungeon where you can't lose and the only drama is the group taking a minute longer than fastest.

I heard my ancestors used to cattle dinosaurs before harvesting them of their organs and using them to make haggis to feed the first line ancestors of Feves and their very small wide eyed children.

should have held it.

Bus driver:
I waited 8 minutes for your ridiculous kids to get in.
I'm driving, I take a nap for 2 minutes. When I get back I have been sentenced to jail!
What the hell cant I just take a 2-minute rest when driving? Is this some sort of stupid, sick joke?
This is absolutely ridiculous! I just went to take a small nap!
I didn't wander off and make a sandwich or some equally time-consuming thing to purposefully be afk during a trip!

Everyone knows that your queue will pop before you get back if you take a bathroom break during it. That's just science.

Check out the internet tryhard over here.

I've had respawn timers in pvp go longer than 30 seconds before.

Check out the person ignorant of party status here, I can see your HP status in group information.
(Besides, if you have a 30+ second respawn timer that means you've already died 6+ times so you probably weren't helping much anyway)

Was the two minute auto-kick timer always in place or was it added in response to people trying to just AFK through matches?

I try really hard to help, but I really suck at pvp so dieing 6 times would not be a surprise for me...

OP, you deciding to go AFK, mid-match, royally screws over your team in a PvP match. The auto-kick was absolutely justified. If anything, the auto-kick should come quicker.

Gatorade bottle and a poop sock is all you need.

I mean sure you may have had 8 minutes of your time wasted, but you wasted a cumulative 14 minutes of your 7 teammates' time. So who's the real villain here?

Not sure when, but yeah, some people would join to get XP (or tomes/flavor of the month) and just park their character someplace. I know a couple of years ago there was an XP boost for a while to some game mode in PvP (Frontlines? Or the 8-Player teams in Feast Training matches?) -> queues became super short but there were more idlers. Haven't seen it as much for the Moogle event, just one comes to mind from my runs.

Seems fine to me. It's one thing to go afk in a dungeon for 2 minutes. In pvp there's no pausing it. The other team(s) aren't going to stop and wait for you to do your thing, and if you're afk you're being a detriment to your team. Not contributing at best and at worst getting killed while afk and giving that team points for killing you and building up your res timer.

2 min at PVP is more than enough, that's too much based on how many time each PVP mach take to finish. 30 secs of inativity for auto-kick would fit perfect, this is not a PVE, people are not going to wait you back to fight against each other just like we do at PVE content, your inativity is going to prejudice all Alliances of your GC and do you want more time to be AFK than 2 min?. If you don't like it just use the Bathroom before any registration.

I like it when people like OP come to the forum asking for validation, and get told off by everyone lol.

It's one of the best kind of education.
