Get rid of the Auto-Logout already or make it an option in the menu.

[Brises]

I fail to see the connection between the part of my post you decided to quote and your post, but in short, yes. There is a point in this game where there isn't much else left to do while waiting for the queue. I can't join a FATE party, I'm out of quests to do, I'm out of LEVE allowances, I can't call my chocobo companion. Maybe I'll just tab on another program and do something else while waiting (this isn't even AFKing. I'm still at the keyboard, but I'll get automatically logged off for not being giving any imput to XIV's tab), write something, work, watch a movie. But I'm not going to stress on why I should be forced to stare idly at a screen without anything to do so I don't get booted before my turn. I can sum all this up to one question:

Why would auto log-off not working during Duty Finder queue hurt you?

I guess I misunderstood. AFK to me means walking away from the game and doing something else, in which case I could very easily miss the df que whether I log off or not. If you are still present at your game and able to respond to what happens, then you aren't truly AFK. Normally when I am in a df que, I use that time to chat. If, I'm watching tv or something, it's no big deal to simply bump the movement control occasionally since I'm not going to walk away while in que. I'm just not sure why the auto logout feature is so hard for some people to deal with? it doesn't cause me a problem at all. It would probably help if they added a popup with a sound that says you are about to be logged off in x seconds. That would at least alert you to respond.
