The artificial cap that they have implace on the servers to promote stability of these systems will be lifted hense letting more people in to the servers themselves and into the queue system. Along with other people changing to the new servers. After the upgrades are in place you may still see a queue on your server but you will not see 1017 because the queue system will be able to hold more players, and the limits will be lifted off the servers.

at this point i think we agree on we need one but i dont feel they need to waste development time on it now they need to focus on the big fix and make sure its working first.
They have a team of programmers who could work on it while the network admins work in the data centres, I am a network admin and network engineer by qualification and know exactly how useless a programming team would be to me in server setup and maintenance.

Why not get the programming team to work on the AFK system, while the Network and server teams get to work on the servers themselves?

It isn't a waste of resources to delegate jobs to their required teams, it's good management practice. All of the work they are doing right now is network related. So what is the software or programming team doing?
