    If You Could Log-in Without Difficulty Would AFK'rs Matter?

    Question is in the Title.

    Seriously, would they matter at all? If there were no issues with 1017 or the like and no log-in issues, would you be concerned that someone who is paying/paid the same price of admission is spending the game AFK'ing? Because seriously I would not care; and really, I am not concerned currently.

    Personally, I understand why people do so now. I think it sucks if you are trying to get in, but if and when the log-in/server issues are rectified, it will not and should not matter if someone goes AFK over night, or for days at a time if they so choose.

    All MMO-raging aside, the world is not really fair, games/mmos mimic this. Why is that surprising to people? We as players just deal with the hands we are dealt, it doesn't make sense to get spun up over this in my opinion.

    Don't take this the wrong way but I'm curious as to why you think the answer would be anything other than no.

    The problem existed before afkers hence why afkers started in the first place. Kicking them will not resolve your login issues at all. Not that any kind of rushed kick system would even work, as people would just run into a wall. If Wednesday doesn't solve some things square is potentially ruining the best MMO released since as long as I can remember.

    it's a mary go around.
    eventually people who talk about kicking AFKers won't log out either because it is just too hard to log back in.

    kicking AFKer is nothing but a shortsighted solution unless SE is expecting player population going down continuously after initial launch.

    I am not concerned. I get why people go AFK over night and for days at a time. I am just loking at all the vitriol and calls for asinine solutions. Admittedly that that are asinine is my opinion. If there were no log-in problems no one would say anything about the AFK'rs. Therefore, if the problems are resolved, there does not need to be booting of people, server resets, abductions of pertinent family pets or whatever other "solutions" are bandied about at any given moment.

    I guess it was my curiosity. An attempt to satisfy the question of just how much people convince themselves that they want something.
