I used to be one of those afkers... but you guys have a point. Contributing to the problem won't help anything, I'll log off when I'm not playing.

Don't hate the players...

This thread is an interesting preview of what the FFXIV community is shaping up to be.

I definitely log out when I'm done playing. Yes, it takes some time to get back in. But I'm not made of money (helloooo, electric bill) and leaving your computer on takes it's toll on your computer. My computer is a crap-box as it is without me possibly making it worse by leaving it on overnight. Besides, why would I leave myself logged in 24/7 when I don't play 24/7? Makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. lol

I admit, if I have to go to the store to pick up milk super quick or something that'll take me ten minutes, I leave myself on. It doesn't take long... but the moment I am going to bed, I go to the inn and sign off. Because it isn't fair for everyone else if I stayed on the entire time.

People oughta sign off when they are going to bed and be considerate to everyone else.

Eh. I log out every night when I am done playing (after wasting several hours getting in) but you know what? I don't give a damn about the time it takes in regards to afkers. If people want to perma-afk and get all the game time they can when they want to then power to them. They are not exploiting anything, they are not doing anything wrong, they are fully enjoying the game in the way that makes them most satisfied. Is their right to play any higher than anyone else? No. They are not forcing THEIR will on anyone else though, they are playing the game. A game they paid for and have every right to enjoy.

It's you self-righteous bastards who are all 'wahh, you're blocking us! Log out you dirty afker!' who are trying to force your right to play on someone else. You are saying your desire not to go through the same issues everyone else is, your need to play the game sooner, is better than that of someone who wants the EXACT SAME THING but is going about it in a different way.

You have no room at all to judge the people who go afk, so get off your bloody high horses.You are not any morally better for logging out. You do not have some better sense of character.You simply are doing things differently and choosing to go about how YOU play the game in a different way. You are making your own moral compass choice that you don't mind the need to go back through a painful login for the sake of allowing others to play. Good for you. You are no better or worse than the person who stays logged in so they can play whenever they want.


These complaints disgust me. This -is- fully SEs issue. No player, logging out or AFK, is doing anything wrong. Both are playing exactly the way the system currently allows and both are fully in their right and neither has any right to judge the other. It's the internet so jerks are going to do it anyway but tooting your own horn for some sense of self-satisfaction doesn't make you a good person, it just makes you petty and jealous.
