KICK AFK people really?

No timer on AFK really? :D


To clarify:
I want AFK kick timers Now!

Everyone AFK for more than 180 seconds should be kicked, maybe less until demand goes down.

edit2 Ok 180 seconds may be too short, agreed - but everyone is on the same page there should be some AFK timer, and it only needs to be temporary.

Right now there is many groups of players going AFK as they go to sleep or work , and this current solutions of SE encourages that, sadly.

even a quick realm restart would suffice.

are you for or against?

I am totally for. this needs to be implemented as soon as they finish their 20 maintenance cycle to fix server errors.

Sorry updated I am for kicking people starting Now

oh well that's my 3 posts for today

Please like original post, for what good it will do/

15 to 30 minutes maybe, that way people can go grab drinks, food, hit the washroom, those things, and not get disconnected from that dungeon they are in, all because someone was a little TOO impatient.

180 seconds can I can piss wtf is wrong with you 10 minutes is a more suitable number but 180 seconds damn just damn

I'd say 30 minutes is good for AFK boot.

15 to 30 mins is too long and 3 minutes is too short, but 5 to 8 minutes of no major activity should be sufficient to kick AFKers off

Yeah this would be a great addition, these people are holding up the servers for those who want to play, if you are at work or sleep or whatever the case may be you should log off of the game.

15 minutes would be good. 10 is the minimum I would support.

im for. I dislike linkshells that goto bed idle all grouped up in uldah for example and stand there for 8+ hours idle. Not even the server bandwidth but why leave there comp and electricity running if they are not even there. Certainly shouldn't congest the servers anyway. So kick dem afk peeps

It's kind of ridiculous there is no booting idle people. The make it worse, people are aware how difficult it is to log on right now, so no one logs off even if they're not actively playing. Then the rest of us are left to sit here and twiddle our thumbs while some jerk goes to work and leaves his character logged in to play when he gets home.

Without AFK kicks and the server capacity being constricted even harder now... can anyone else imagine entire servers full of nothing but AFKs? I know last time I got on, it seemed like half the server was already AFK.

I'm for the 10-15 minute auto-boot. I admit in other games there were times that feature annoyed me but I knew it was for the best.

no reason to stay logged in as AFK you dont have a bazaar so getting kicked you wont miss anything.
it will free up spots.

30mins is good, 10-15 is too short

Signed. I knew this was going to be an issue during Beta.

People that AFK during congestion hours like this should actually get a 3 day ban. It's selfish and wrong to deny other players the opportunity to play a game they paid for.

AFK for 30mins?

They really just need to open up new legacy servers.

That's unreasonable. Even WoW has a 15-20 minute disconnect set up so that people AFK for that amount of time get DC'd from the server to prevent congestion.

Warhammer online had this exact same problem years ago when it was release and the next month afterwards with so many people trying to get on and server queues in the hundreds and thousands.

They changed it so you were disconnected and kicked after five minutes of being AFK. I can not believe there is no AFK timer in this game. With how horrible it is now trying to get in no one in their right mind would ever log out now if they managed to somehow get in. You have to force AFK players out as a result.

I'm totally for kicking AFK at 10-15 minutes. When I was playing this afternoon there were loads of ppl just sitting or standing around doing nothing but taking up space.

When I get online, I will:

Mine a little
Kill some stuff
Try the Duty Finder thing again
and then I will sit AFK for as long as I can.

I got up afk at a camp to stretch and get a drink, came back and I was kicked off. Far as I know, there IS an afk timer.

Either that or I'm just incredibly unlucky... was trying to progress more, but now I'm on hour two of trying to re-log in, with only one cock-tease que popup leading to world full message again.

...at least they're not apologizing for it. The apology guy is tired of typing today.

20 minutes is fair. Yes, Please!

3 day ban? haha no... None of players are fault because SE let them, you are just mad. XD

Serious, 180 seconds.

I need to get my beer, take a shit and then wipe...... Give me at least 190 seconds o.O



30 minutes should be the kick time, unless they want us to bazarr ;-)

30 minutes is fine for the kick timer. Your duty finder can easily take thirty minutes for it to work. Cant' be kicking people who ar waiting on the DF.

There's NO excuse for not having an AFK timer and Square Enix should be begging forgiveness for not implementing one POST HASTE.

FF11 has this system if your afk more than 15 mins your off to login screen

Sure, FF11 has it but you can turn it off easily.

I'm all for 10 minutes anymore than that is just to long. If you have not done anything for 10 minutes then you should really have to give up that spot for someone who will actually be using that time to play. It should also be checking for actual game activity too so all those people who would just hold down a run key in town get kicked too.

i support a 30 minute kick. 15 would be ok too, but any less than that... well. It can take me 10 minutes just to take a crap on a bad day.

I am all for kicking AFK players. Seriously, the game is NOT for beach bums, specially at this point that clicking on "connect" is giving me blisters!

10-15mins is fair, anything less is too excessive.

really kick them already!!! this is just silly i have not been able to log in all day.
Fix it now.Plus its like everyone at se has stopped working today no news noting

One Week Later...

:(
