It's a bad habit some people get from other MMOs.

I have it too, I know it's useless, I know people will talk to me and say "oh he's afk, why's he online then?".
I just don't think about it when I leave the PC...a bad habit from other MMOs where you have either long queues or it's in your best interest to stay online etc.
