To the people who are logged in overnight

[Sanadaiyeve]

A log in slot is still being occupied regardless if the player of it is actively doing content or away from the game. Those players wanting inactive players to log out, so they can log in, will equally prevent someone else from logging in too.

To be the righteous and considerate person, some players ask others to be, they should not log in as well, thus enabling someone else to log in.

What if I am doing my homework while in game and am simply taking in the ambiance but not obviously interacting with anyone or doing content. I am at my keyboard then so am I still afk?

Some players are calling other players selfish, immature, and or childish. These same players claim they are on a moral high ground and say that adults are the mature ones and that anyone who is away from their input device while logged into FFXIV is a greedy disgusting existence.

Gandhi might not approve, but then again he doesn't judge people.

Those people that insult those who are logged in and absent are naught but bullies. In order to get what they want they pressure people and degrade them.

Those players being bullied are rather like placeholders. They keep the slot locked so the bullies can come and take it from them. By pressuring these people into logging out because, "they are being selfish", you are asking them to give up the slot they fought for so that you can obtain it without hassle.

In nature, to be courteous gets you eaten. Its a battle of resources. While I may be a prey animal, I won't let some predator threaten my quality of life.
