Because a vast majority of people aren't going to bother with that when they know they can log back on in a couple minutes. The only people who are doing those things are the ones who feel they will be afk for more than 30 minutes, but are still playing. That's really not a problem. I feel they made the time limit too short, but it's no big deal to me. The whole point was to stop the people who were remaining logged on 24/7 because they would not be able to get back on again. That problem has been solved, but none of us has any data as to how much the auto-logoff is effecting that.
