Keep the 30min auto-kick system?

Auto-logout should be activated the moment the server starts a login queue, and disabled the moment nobody's waiting in the queue.

It has nothing to do with server population or new expansion or hype or whatever. When someone legitimately needs a resource that others are just holding for no valid reason, then that resource should be reclaimed and distributed to those who actually are needing it.

This won't happen because the feature is client-side, you actually get a 20 second logout timer (like you do when logging out in a non-sanctuary) with the yes and no options when the time is up. The feature simply initiates the logout command with the 20 second timer even in sanctuaries, which is why it can be bypassed by afking in an activity that prevents logging out in a normal way.

Reason people craft-afk etc. is simple, they don't want to take the risk of not being able to login again because of 2002 errors (which are even more infuriating than 1017 because you get booted to desktop). Back during launch days, I remember being unable to login for 3 days, I don't find it unreasonable to be unwilling to have that experience again.

It is technically possible to just let the server push an order to initiate auto logout. The interface is client side, but just like how we get moogle mail notifications, the server can notify our software to pop that logout timer.

Possible, yes, but tracking the idle time of every player requires server resources, we don't know how much stress it would add, but I can assume SE thought it was a better idea to have it client-side, it's not like most people bypass it.
