While taking up a spot in the server population limit that could have been filled by... oh i dont know... and actual player?

    Because why should X amount of people be unable to play the game because Y number of people sit AFK for 18+ hours at a time taking up space on an already limited system thereby refusing untold amounts of people their right it play the game just because THEY feel their THEIR $30 is SO much more important then the $30 for each person they refuse to let one because they are selfish jackwads? You say "Why kick them, the spot will be taken up by someone else." Yeah, someone that will probably play the bloody game and not AFK for days on end and then why are done they log out and *gasp* someone else joins to play the game! What a concept!

    you do know, the kick system will not boot them right? because spamming messages is not considered being AFK. You have to report those people to get rid of them. good attempt at a logical answer though, and your one of few that actually complains about them, when more should be complaining about them. So i do commend you on complaining about a real issue.

You're basically saying that the AFKer thinks his money is worth more then others, by saying that others money is worth more then his. Greed only begets more greed.

    You have a very cute way of defining greed. Wanting people leeching on the system, doing nothing but taking up space, to get removed so people who will actually play the game would be able to is not very greedy. Going "I'm here first, I will hold onto this spot, and to hell with other people... for the next 48 hours until I can play next!" is far worse then "I'm going to actually play this game for 2 hours and then go to bed and log off."

    Im sure gil farmers are using a bot to spam tells. cause I see them standing on a rock in thanalan all arc shooting the same mobs. Wearing the starting gear. Im totaly against the afk kick system you all are yapping about. I dont care what the reason kicking people from the game aint the solution if you pay your sub you should be able to stay logged 24/7/365 whether your doing anything or not.

    If an "idle-time" logout funtion were put in place, as say was in FFXI, I believe it would have to come with the option of "disabling" it as was done in FFXI. Thus defeating the point of adding it anyhow. However, by the principle of wanting an "idle-time" logout function, if you are playing the game and need to eat...you should log out. Need to shower? Log Out, need to go to sleep, work, whatever...LOG OUT. Anytime you are logged into the game and not actively doing anything, you should log out. Regardless of how long or short you are away from the game, your time away is taking away from someone who could be "productively" advancing their character. There is no wrong or right side in this argument it's literally the personification of "two-sides to every story."

    Welcome to the real world, where every thing IS that way. It's first come, first serve. Not everybody gets to be leader, and no one gets to follow.

    Exactly.

    as for gil sellers, they're usually either bots, or sweat shop workers(actual sweat shops for anyone that didn't actually know this).

    It does support more than 300 players already. Just today, I entered queue with exactly 374 players waiting in line, and I bet others have encountered bigger numbers.

    This was actually addressed to be implemented AT the maitenance, or shortly after it. So, yes, this might just "magically" get resolved.

    Again, this was one of the many things they announced they would do with Wednesday's maitenance. Read the announcement.

    While they have not said anything on the matter, it seems rather too obvious of a measure to be taken, so let us hope they will eventually do just that, once bigger issues get dealt with, which should be soon.

    2 out of your 4 suggestions were already mentioned and, from the 2 left, only one is acutally worth mentioning: the free transfers, and guess what... There ARE other threads about it, and on the appropiate section (since this topic has nothing to do with "New Player Help").

    If your intention was to be helpful, you did not prepare for it well and ended up doing what +95% of the frustrated people here have been doing since EA:
    "Everyone has complained about game issues and said everything there's to say and SE already announced that measures will be taken but I'll still beat the dead horse because I can't log into the game and I'm bored to death and my opinion is important".
    Sorry to be rude, but just look at yourself... Just stop to look at yourself for 5 minutes and tell us straight to our... avatars... that you are not doing this mainly out of boredom and/or frustration instead of actual good faith to help the game's development, not to mention overestimating the value of your opinions. Or what, will you now tell me that if you sporadically managed to log into the game, you would say "Oh, but I have something important to tell on the forums that might help the game's development... Nah, I'll just log off the game and say what I've to say first and then log back even if it takes me an hour. My own entertainment is not as important as the wellfare of the game in the future, after all...". No, nobody ever does that. Just admit it: boredom and entitlement are this thread's fuel, reason why it is mostly suggesting repeated or addressed actions, as you did not thought it thoroughly, nor did you investigate on what was said to be addressed and what has not.

    I seriously hope that english is not your first language because this sentence makes absolutely no sense at all. No one gets to follow? Anyone can follow any time they like. Then again nothing else you wrote makes any sense either. You state that booting someone taking up server space AFK is no different to letting someone in to play, so why not let them in.
