Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[Rita1989]

Odin apparently has the same issue so EU and Aether will be the only ones probably

You seem to think everyone is perfectly okay with leaving everything they have on a server to move to a completely different one with possibly no one else they know. It's a strange assumption, if that is what you are thinking.

Then stay and enjoy the queue, if staying in Balmung queue is more important to you than play on another server you have my blessing, just stop punishing us.
As I said, leaving was not easy but I won't pay 15€ a month to stay in queue, if you are willing to, fine

[Hasrat]

Lol hope a dps doesn't try to queue for a dungeon in that timeframe.

But on a serious note, all worlds shouldn't suffer just because Balmung is having problems

What I don't see people considering is that all the AFK players are preventing active players from getting in, active players that might actually contribute to duty queues, which might help speed up those DPS queues.

We're all already suffering because of Balmung.

I was not aware I either complained about the queue or personally punished you for staying where I am. I *expected* the queue, and planned accordingly.

Reading comprehension dictates that "a" is akin to "one," therefore you can read it to say "all worlds on one data center." It's no mystery which server is actually having the issue. It's Balmung. The data center it is located on is Aether. Aether will most likely be the only data center, and its worlds, experiencing this lovely addition:

They also said

We are experiencing a situation where several Worlds are consistently reaching the maximum number of players that can be logged into the game during peak hours.

No, it is not just Balmung that is having issues.

Assuming there is 50-100 afk players, this would completely get rid of q times on Cactuar.
Of course this is no help to the servers that actually need it.

It's not a you "you" it's a you refering to those of Balmung that won't move and complain ^^"
(in french we have a distinction between a you for one personne and a you for a group, it's 2 different terms so it's easy to get misunderstood)

Thankfully this is a temporary thing. Honestly if they wanna play ball against afkers that are abusing the afk kicker then add a new option to report: AFK exploiter

which if you click this it causes a menu to pop up on the screen of the accused which they have 1min to click the check box "Im not afk" and then hit okay or else they get dropped even if interacting with an npc.

This would be better than ejecting everyone off all the servers.

[Clethoria]

I mean, if you're gonna be sitting there afk for more than 30 minutes why not log out anyway? I get life happens but if you just wanna pose on top of a ledge for attention do so when you can actively see the responses.

[Fynlar]

I'm not happy about this decision, but maybe it will make more people move to other servers in frustration.

Why, though?

If anything, what they are doing here is basically admitting all the servers are screwed up enough to need these autologout measures, so why even bother moving to another server?
