Bug Report: there is no AFK boot that's why the servers are so clogged

This is not a bug. Why post it here? This is working as intended. FFXI never booted people.

Maybe because this is a game they actually want people to play? I really refuse to believe that their goal is to launch a server that never boots anyone, and also blocks people from getting on the server because 10,000 AFK players are logged in instead. Must be a bug.

Upon further review: SERIOUSLY? The servers are full and they're blocked because people want to sit AFK for hours or days, REALLY? I'm glad this was a cheap game because if they don't fix it, I'm quittin.

I feel the same. I paid 20 euros for the game, so not that bothered about writing it off.

It is indeed not a bug, so I'm not sure why this is posted here. The OP isn't going to get any reception from here.

Seriously who in their right mind would assume a non-functioning or non-existant AFK-boot was NOT a bug? People AFK for days are actually interfering with the population needed for other parts of the game. Why would anyone with MMO experience assume locked servers on account of non-booted AFK'ers was intentional?

I have a decade's worth of MMO experience, particularly from Square Enix. They have never in any of their MMOs implemented an AFK Timer except for FFXI, and you can turn that one off on your settings.

It is not a bug, it is a choice in design and not every MMO is going to go by the standards. That said, I agree there should be an AFK Timer, which is why I'm suggesting you place this elsewhere.

A bug would be if they had an AFK-boot in place and it failed to work.

This feature does not exist, so it's not a bug.
