Should i idle afk in the morning to be able to play in the evening???

[Fyrebrand]

Uh, are you asking our permission to cheat the system or something? Please don't bot or use third-party tools to idle your character all day and prevent others from playing while you're at work. This is literally contributing to the problem you're trying to avoid.

I dont say its perferct or ok, but lets be honest at the end of the day the own interests comes first for nearly every person on earth. Of course its not a good solution, but would you be ok with not beeing able to play the game for several days because you are an honest person while others who dont care about fairness found a workaround and can play the game normal every day? SE will surly not bann these people i can promise you that and they dont care to much about perma afkers either, you just have to take a look at limsa or other crowded places before the expansion.

They hotfixed the methodology they used to stay logged in permanently without using external tools prior to the expansion launching to prevent this behavior during the launch, just as an FYI. It was capable of being done without external application or tools, the fact they went out of their way to hotfix an esoteric means by which one could avoid AFK kicks should tell you what you need to know about the present opinion of the company on this topic.

Before someone asks, yes i know how that sounds.

You could also say SE punishes the people with work and a regular life, because all unemployment and people with holydays dont need to care about these issues.

LMAO.

Yes. Everyone is doing it, especially the forum white knights, and no punishments have been issued. In fact you should ask some of them on this thread for the 3rd party program they are using

Just become a terminally unemployed NEET like the rest of the people whiteknighting for SEs failed implementation of a queue system.

The fact that you're asking means that you already know it's wrong. It just feels like your asking for permission, validation or excuses to do so.

You would be actively and knowingly contributing to the problem.

This.

Everyone wants to play, everyone has to wait. Don't be selfish and waste other people's time just so you can have a little more fun.

That's walking a fine line between making sure you have what you need and being part of the scum of the earth. This isn't some life or death situation it's a video game, you can wait. The less people trying to cheat the lower the queues will be for everyone. Ofc some will cheat anyway, hopefully they get banned.

To be honest i don't even need to ask because i know how this kind of stuff works and if i would actively using it i woudn't even bother making a topic here. Im more interested in what other people think about this situation than the act itself.

Imagine caring about the rightness of a work around to a system that is so shit, that it doesn't even allow you to wait in line. A queue is fine. Being constantly removed/unable to even access the queue is unacceptable failure.

Nice try. Not all of us that are being understanding are unemployed. I'm currently at work. I got my play in today before work in case queue is too much of a problem when I get home around 6 pm est.

[RatKing]

I do it and nobody can stop me.
