Boot AFKers from Gold Saucer

Those same people purposely AFKing in the Saucer would more than likely auto-run into a corner to keep their character active and not AFK.

I'm in the same boat. Hope you can get in soon... I hope we all can.

Came here to post this same thread.

I've seen other MMOs set it up so autorunning doesn't keep you from going AFK. I haven't tried something like that in this game to see if it works, but it's doable if it's not like that already.

Also, in the event that another patch consisting of only one new zone where most of the new stuff is gets released someday, it would be nice to be able to queue for congested zones.

I agree completely with the OP.

People having loopholes doesn't mean the idea is bad. It means square should fix the loop holes. Those afk tricks people used are really easy to detect.

They could make 1-3 instances of the Golden Saucer per server, and have an interface resembling an aetheryte crystal to travel between the instances. Much like how theyve done with residential areas and sub divisions.

AFK timer doesn't work that way. AFK timer is based on user input and mouse movement within the game window. Using auto-run or even holding down a movement key with a weight will still have the AFK count down ticking.

For them to bypass this they would need to use illegal things.
