To the people who are logged in overnight

Hopefully the AFK kick will be implemented soon and will help to smooth things out.

You mean hopefully the server additions and optimizations will happen soon. Then AFK kick will not be necessary because everyone will be able to login anytime.

Why is this hard to understand?

anyone watch the game on Twitch? there are streamers that leave their stream on nothing but their afk characters while they go to bed. Its like a big FU to anyone thats having trouble getting in the game.

People who say they are working adults or they deserve it this because they have played since 1.0 etc... yeah well everyone has a RL everyone has things they have to do, but not everyone stays logged in and hurts other players free time, which might be the only time THEY have to play.

What SE needs to do, if they don't have an AFK kickers, is reset the servers and do an emergency maintenance to kick people off. They could do it every 6-8 hours or randomly though out the day.

I will say I've been pretty lucky getting in the last week or so, only have to deal with this a few times. But when I have had to deal with it, it's annoying. Everyone needs to be respectful and not justify childish actions.

This proposal won't work, simply because it's success hinges on everyone logging out when they're not playing. If that was the case, then yes, things would probably run a lot smoother. But you'll always have people who abuse it. It's like putting a chest of gold outside a village and telling the villagers "I'd appreciate it if none of you took any of the gold, okay?" Without any consequences for their actions, they're going to do whatever they can get away with.

I love the justification for staying logged in while afking for hours at a time: "Well, I get frustrated when I can't play for hours at a time..." Welcome to the club? The difference is mostly that some of us can handle it like adults, and some of us are still apparently children.

I've stated before that this speaks to the "character" of a person. The problem is they don't see that they have a character flaw, and don't realize that the people that can't log in because they are afk are actually people! Real life living breathing people. I blame the parents.

Just give me a queue. I don't mind if I have to sit in a queue for awhile.. hell, a few hours even... but it's a queue, I understand I CAN get in. Having to sit and click 'Start>Character>Yes>.....okay>Start>Character>Yes>.....fuSE>Start>Character....' over and over.... I've been at it for over half an hour now. /SIGH

This is exactly what would happen if a zombie apocalypse hits o.o

I am sorry everyone is having problems logging in but reasoning with all the players that are online at the moment is pretty much impossible to temporarily fix the issue. And then, you have the people that would take advantage over the matter, people that say they log out would remain online to avoid these issues.

Guess it is something in the human nature.

I agree, I would rather is I'm like 1000 in queue then deal with these lobby issues and spamming the button hoping I might get into queue.

the best part about this is square isnt going to do anything to these people who are admitting to abusing their system. they should all get a week ban, but this game is ruled with a doughy fist.

those people are abusing an exploit and grieving other players by keeping them from logging in. if square doesnt do anything to them they would be liable in a class-action for not enforcing their own rules.

i always log off when i'm not playing i dont see the point on staying in. Log out in my inn get bouns xp and also gives someone else a chance to get on. Yea might have a little trouble getting back on but at least the big picture is i getting bouns xp. Plus since the new servers are coming just around the conner and we are getting 6 weeks free from SE, i dont the hassle.

So i agree log out if you're not playing there isnt any need to stay logged in. Give some one else a chance to play for a change. If you wanna be self go play WoW that is 90% of there playerbase anyway.
