Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[NefarioCall]

I can't imagine that this will actually do much...
I mean, after all the people cram to log back in, the AFKers will just go back to AFKing for another 24 hours...

The only way this will ever be effective is if they performed multiple restarts throughout the day at random times (to avoid building a pattern that the AFKers could work around).

This whole "solution" is overkill and blatantly fails to address the actual cause of the AFKing (exploits).

I don't mind the 10 min downtime since it's scheduled and we can plan around it...

But I'd rather they only did this on problem realms, and I agree with the quoted statement: people will just log back in after the reboot and go back to AFKing.

Though, they have to try something because AFKing IS getting out of hand on a number of servers.

I don't understand why people just leave their computers on all damn day like they do.

Clearly, we're not talking about people who pay the electricity bills, here... :P
