Bypassing auto log out

[_Pigzig]

No. Just go to HUD editor, game can't tell if you're actually spending all night being OCD on your HUD or actually just AFKd.

Does this werk with no mods or rule breaking? Because I’ll be doing this if so, I hate relogging

Kids these days suggesting report to everything or is it just a crybaby community?

Been that way for years tbh.

I do think they should probably do something to address this when Endwalker releases otherwise it's not really fulfilling its intended purpose of reducing player traffic.

The silly thing is the game can tell whether or not you're actually pushing buttons vs. just keeping yourself in a state where you can't be logged out as people using the HUD layout or a NPC conversation to avoid being kicked will still get marked with the AFK chair if they haven't disabled it.

Probably will if congestion gets bad like back in SB.
It's just a lazy fix put in by the developers, since it's so easy to work around.

Yeah. You literally just open HUD editor like you're going to edit your HUD. Then just leave it open while you're AFK. It acts as 'doing something.'

It definitely served its intended purpose even with easy work arounds being available. Sure, it could be more thorough but it still massively cut down queue times when they reactivated afk logout again.

I forget what Server it was but there was a player that was AFK next to one of the huts in Costa del Sol on it and every time I visited there they were standing in exactly the same spot unmoving.

I took a break from the game for a few months because of a content drought and when I came back they were still there.

It honestly creeped me out.

I saw someone always dancing naked in one spot whenever I played an alt on another server.

I eventually quit playing that alt, then world travel came out years later and I went to that server with it.

He was still here, years later.

Spooked.

It's odd to me that people would want to stay logged in all night or for days. I mean, isn't that also bad for your computer?

[Saimeren]

I have never seen a case of people needing to go outside and touch grass more in my life.

Out...side?

I don't understand.

All SE is trying to do is get rid of the idlers, to free up the log in queues a bit, so those that do wish to play can log in. This is not a bad thing and I hope they fix it where it logs out players sitting with an open window(s) to avoid being logged out. We don't need players just taking up space in game doing nothing and making log in numbers huge. If you can't do your life's business in 10 minutes, than you don't need to be logged in, especially when EW launches.
