Can someone tell me why everyone is upset about the logout timer?

I can't think of any other MMO that doesn't utilize some sort of bazaar feature that doesn't have an auto disconnect timer. With no such feature in the game, there is literally no reason NOT to have it. Even WoW has a 30 min timer, and I never saw anyone complaining about that in all my years of playing.

Now I'm sure people did complain, but they were simply the vast vast minority. Same is the case here. They'll be loud at first but they will die down if people just ignore them.

There are many players, especially DD's, who que for dungeons for more than 30 mins quite often. Auto-timeout should be an optional feature in the system config. for people like you, but it is not for everyone.
