Please tell me the auto-login "feature" is only temporary

This AFK timer will help prevent congestion when people come back for a big patch in the future

It won't prevent jack poop. First, if people are coming back from a big patch, nobody is logged in, so your post makes no sense. Second, auto-logouts are easily circumvented so the effort on it was a waste to anyone who cares about staying logged in, and a needless hassle to anyone who isn't making a stink about it.

To anyone who thinks 30 minutes is too long, you're insane. If it's any lower, you're going to be getting up to take a piss or eat something and be logged out when you come back.

Every other MMO lets you stay logged in as long as you want, as did this one until now. To treat it like it's some kind of luxury to be taken away is ludicrous.

This could have been helpful towards stablizing the servers in the past two weeks but as time goes on, the benefit will disappear and it will only cause aggrivation, so it should be removed or made optional as soon as possible.

also, as others have mentioned, sometimes it can take 30 minutes or more to find a party with the duty finder. Are you saying I can't just sit and wait for it?

30 minute timer is fine. QQ less.

No, it's not fine, and I won't QQ less. If it has to exist at all it shouldn't be any less than an hour, but it doesn't really matter how long it is because people will just use keyboard macros to prevent themselves from being logged out if necessary.
