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

Part of the appeal of an MMO is going afk in a city or camp while you wait for something.

Maybe I want to read while I wait on the duty finder. Maybe I want to put some laundry in because I know my friend will be on in 40 minutes.
I can sit on a bench or at the bar making the game more immersive for people passing by.

Cities and areas altogether will seem more empty. As soon as the servers are reliable and no one has issues getting online; I really hope this becomes optional.

My thoughts exactly. Might as well get rid of all the cute little chairs and benches everywhere, they are pointless now. Get rid of /away and /busy, it is pointless now. Standing around waiting for an unspoiled node to pop? Can't do that, gotta run around like a maniac. Sitting in town just chatting or RPing? Nope, gotta move around. I hope this because optional as well, it really should be. Once the monthly payments kick into gear i'm sure 30% of the population will be quitting anyways. There are no more full world errors anymore. It really is a useless feature, and will make the world appear empty.

Darn gotta move around pressing the key once is such a chore. I agree with you about the benches and such, I cant even remember how many times I've just tele'd to town just to see who was sitting on benches. If 30% of people leave because of an afk timer I will be the first to cheer you guys outta limsa cause that is the lamest reason I've ever heard of quitting an mmo.

Oops that is in reply to moths post
