To the people who are logged in overnight

[Zanje]

My 2 gil...

Most of you asking this would turn around and AFK yourselves and justify it with "well I waited so long... and everyone else does it anyway!"

Not true at all, i know damn well i have not and the people i play with have not, It is just having common courtesy. The people that stay logged in wasting a slot when they know they wont be playing for over an hour just remind me of the children who hide or break toys at a daycare, because even though they cant take them with them they wanna make sure no other kids can play with them if they wont be. *rolls eyes*

Hopefully the AFK kick will be implemented soon and will help to smooth things out. I don't really fear logging out as I havent seemed to have much trouble getting on, my longest wait so far has been about 10 minutes but I also mostly log in early in the morning. Still, spamming 0 got me on to the server in peak hours last night in a little under 10 minutes. Maybe I've just been extremely lucky thus far.

It wont work because smart people will just figure a way around it lol.

I agree, it's like someone saying 'I cheated on the test and you're stupid because you didn't'. Just because people are doing it, and people can justify it by saying 'well I was inconvenienced so others can be now' doesn't make it right.

It is more so that the people do the wrong thing don't wait it pointed out constantly so they want us to stop saying it because... god forbid, SE might actually see we are pissed, reset the servers and they will be kicked out and then back in the same position we are in at the moment. It seems like when people make a fuss SE does something, so people who can't log in should keep making a fuss until the AFK'er are kicked.

I've spent 3 hrs trying to log on on mutliple occasions. So yeah when I finally get in I stay logged on. Hell the game crashes enough to kick AFK players anyway. I crashed just this morning and will have to spend another 3 hrs at some point today getting back in. It's unfortunate but if SE wanted to stop this they would have patched in an auto kick by now.

I feel the pain of ps3 players who probably should not keep their consoles running 24/7 and for PC players who's rigs can't multitask with the game running in the background. Just understand those who stay logged on have gone thru the 1017 error as well.

There is no way to reason with those who never log out. And it's understandable and not surprising if you ever played any MMO game.
The thing which is surprises me is why there is no Auto AFK->Auto Log-out system like in any other MMO out there? Why can't Square-Enix implement it? It's not hard.

Easy Solution for this situation. Create more Worlds = Been Done >> Give limited time free character transfer >> limit the amount of accounts that can create characters on a server to the amount that can be logged in at one time that way for those who would have multiple chars on a server it wont effect you as only 1 of your chars will be logged in at a time.... or alternatively Id like to see FFXIV go on a mega server

Everyone's experiences are different. If that makes me a "little scrub" I'm sorry my experience differs so greatly from yours. BTW I'm not mouthing off to anyone. Just giving my opinions. That's what the forums are for. Giving opinions of things that don't matter. Like this. Doesn't matter but imgladumadbro :P

Hiding behind the internet while calling someone you don't know the first thing about a "piece of shit" isn't giving your opinion. It's being an insignificant little scrub. You're glad I was offended? Of course you are. You're a spineless forum troll. If we found ourselves having this conversation face-to-face, your tone would be much different, wouldn't it. Again, enjoy internet anonymity, but remember that you're just a yappy, loud-mouthed punk behind a computer screen. That's all the time I'm going to waste on you today.

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?

"Resolving AFK Character Issues

From several users on some of our more congested Worlds, we have received requests for a feature which automatically logs out characters who are AFK for an extended period of time. We are actively looking into the implementation of such a feature, but have decided to first concentrate our efforts on increasing the number of Worlds and optimizing the Duty Finder servers."

They are doing both, and the game will be better off for it.

Whilst I've had only minor problems logging in, waiting the longest at 10 minutes, I still think the AFK kicker should be implemented.

This is a Pointless tread: basically you asking to another player to log out so you can log in sorry pal you're WRONG!!! Everyone here paid their money for this game to play whenever they want, any time 24/7 with no limits, this ain't about taking turns you died and pass the controller to another person go and complaint to SE cause is their fault not the other player who are excited about the game and wanna play all day long and yes I feel sorry for those having problem but I wont log out cause I want to play!!!!!!!
