Here's what puzzles me: Why are people upset about getting kicked off of the game for literally not paying attention to their client for 30 minutes and 20 seconds? They obviously weren't paying attention to the game to care about keeping themselves active in the first place.

What's so important about staying logged in for that extended period of time? It's not like you won't be able to get back in after you're kicked out. The entire point is to reduce the existence of hour-long queues like we experienced at launch.

Secondly, it only kicks out out to the start screen. You get to enjoy the nice End of an Era video when you come back from your trip off to who-knows-where.

Please enlighten me why it's such a problem to have to go "click, click" to get back into the game after waking up from your nap, or leaving your house, or socializing with friends or family. I'm actually finding it hilarious that someone possibly rages every time they come back to their computer to find the "Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn" title screen. I'm imagining the scenario like this: "Aaaah, that was nice. I'm rested up and ready to go. Time for some Garu-- WHAT THE **** IS THIS?! WHY THE **** DID IT KICK ME OUT TO THE TITLE SCREEN? **** IT I ****ING HATE SQUARE ENIX."
