I've seen over 100 people AFK on 1 server. I've seen tons of ppl sitting by the Armorsmith and Blacksmith not moving, not crafting, not doing anything but stand there. So, if I see about 100 people AFK in just ONE place, I'm going out on a limb and say there's probably more than 1000 on a server that's AFK. So, let's rethink this AFK auto log out function....

If there's 1000 people trying to log in but can't due to ~500 AFKers, that means that 500 people that are pissed off because they can't play will be able to log in and play and thus, not pissed off anymore. It's simple really, add the AFK auto kick timer and expand the server capacity. If you do both, that will definitely help FIX the problem.

"Oh wait, i'll just get a 3rd party program that'll make me jump every 5 mins to prevent the auto kick function."

My reply to that is I hope you get a Trojan or a virus when you download said 3rd party program. If you ever wonder why when you log in that you don't have any weapons, armor or gil...it's because your account was hacked by said 3rd party programs...that's why they tell us not to use them in the 1st place. So, in short, it'll be your own fault for getting a 3rd party program to keep you logged in all the time. Don't go crying to SE for a character roll back if you use them.
