Get rid of the Auto-Logout already or make it an option in the menu.

Here's what puzzles me: Why are people upset about getting kicked off of the game for literally not paying attention to their client for 30 minutes and 20 seconds? They obviously weren't paying attention to the game to care about keeping themselves active in the first place. It's not like you won't be able to get back in after you're kicked out.

Not much todo in ARR so I usually play other games in windowed mode, leaving windowed ARR in background. Other game's window covers center, but I see ARR chat on one side and invite icon on other. FC members can easily invite me if they are short on members. So, poping of logout tab just annoys me and I risk loosing chat history.

The entire point is to reduce the existence of hour-long queues like we experienced at launch

and we don't need it now, population is low enough.

If you aren't doing anything for 30 minutes, then kicking you out is certainly not "restricting" you from doing anything besides wasting bandwidth.

Nearly every game ever made boots you out for inactivity. I don't know why it's an issue here.

Most MMORPGs actually don't come with an auto log out. A lot of online RPGs tend to have bazaars, and people like to leave their characters on to sell stuff.

Given that it was patched IN to the game, I doubt it'll be removed. And it's a good thing, people shouldn't be allowed to sit around taking up server space if there is only limited room. If you're not playing, get off. There are no bazaars in this game so there's no gameplay reason to stay logged in.

Need to read a few pages back.

Hello everyone,

Sorry to bump this older thread but, we wanted to let you know that in patch 2.2 we will be removing the auto-logout feature.

And you will be forced to put it right back in once nobody is able to login due to everyone and their brother staying logged in for weeks at a time.

We would see at the 4th april weekend (ps4 open beta2 on the current live servers) 11th april (ps4 early access) and 14th april (ps4 launch)

It's mostly just people from ps3 switching to ps4. They have access to data and numbers that we don't. They wouldn't remove it to have early access problems all over again. It's not that many people playing this game.

given that it was never intended, and there is tons of ways to get around it, it was bound to get removed sooner or later when they settle the server issues that over-population brought and the game-hoppers leave

beta2 is open beta. Everyone with a PS4 have access to it. and it will be on the live servers, together with everyone who play it already. And shortly after 2.2
At least this weekend will be a crowded weekend even with the afk lock-out.
And the main problem with the launch problems was that they have underestimated how many people would play it. What if they underestimate it again?
