It's like parking your car at a business and walking somewhere completely different just because you wanted to be absolutely sure you had a space, which stopped someone else from parking there.

People like that get their car towed. For good reason. An AFK kick system is needed.
like I said in my response to JosiahGrey: you're right. But that is real life, and this is a video game. Bad analogy on my part.

Point is: an AFK timer is an all-around bad idea in the long-run. Maybe for now while we are having login issues. I'm willing to meet you half-way there. But in the end, I would be severly disappointed if a game I paid to have access to kicked me from the world for no reason other than I'm not currently in front of my screen.

FFXI is a prime example. I had an alt on a laptop that would sit there for literally days (usually running my bazaar). I expect no less here.
