One solution to end the server woes...

[Garnett]

Adding Server Capacity without kicking AFK players won't change anything. AFKing started as a way to stay in with crappy server capacity, and raising the server capacity won't be convincing enough to some players: we've all had troubles getting on the past week. The players who get on will still AFK, there will just be more AFKers.

Not if you add sufficient capacity so that anyone who wants to afk can afk, and everyone else can still log in. For example: FFXI. There are countless afkers in FFXI, bazaaring, leeching exp, or just not bothering to log out. In my 10 years of FFXI, I've never came across a server full issue, ever, even in the heydays of the game.

Simply make the AFK timer about..15 minutes. This way I can take a poop without getting DC'd
