RIP AFK'n flexing in Limsa for a little bit

I don't understand this thinking. Queues are so short as to be barely noticeable outside of server crashes or streamers logging on.

YoshiP evidently disagrees. He said in his letter to players that queue times are reaching up to 20 minutes on NA worlds and 40 minutes on EU worlds during peak hours.

To him, that's not acceptable.

How does someone AFK make a community feel like a real community as opposed to the players who are actually running around doing things with others?

The dude always sleeping near the entrance to the markets is as much a part of Limsa for me as the benches and trees.
He means as much as any rando I never interact with, possibly more because all the others I only see once and never again, also because unlike the other randos I actually notice him.

We have one on my server. They're called Mint Dew. We suspect they have two accounts where the play on one and dance on another because there is a Mint Dew`. And it's like a game looking for what glam they will have and dance they will use. People often join in. There's something comforting and familiar about seeing good old Mint Dew dancing away.

That connects us a lot more than being off in our own little dungeon instances or in our linkshells and FCs.
