Any way to disable this new smart un-away system?

nothing wrong with the system. lol.

Oh, stop stamping your feet like a baby.

Here's why it is SE's issue:

1. They implemented the change without requesting feedback, and without us requesting it OF them.
2. They could have just as easily made it an OPTION like other games do.
3. The idea that /away can't be used unless you have physically walked away from the computer and the ENTIRE ROOM will remain completely undisturbed in your absence is absolutely asinine and unrealistic. Might as well remove the feature entirely and tell people just to logout.

And you know what? I have a feeling that's exactly what they wanted. Maybe the server numbers are starting to climb again and they think this is a good way to irritate people enough that they won't use it and just log out. Who knows. I just know that this is the only game and the only community that seems to consistently want to punish people who play.

1.) not relevant.
2.) only somewhat relevant.
3.) i have no idea what you are talking about. i have no idea what you are suggesting. you speak non-sense. nobody ever said that /afk could or should be only accessible under such conditions.


P.S. you are the only one that sounds upset.

bleh.

1. Absolutely relevant. Quality of Life changes should be implemented if they actually add to the quality of life and are something that a majority of players really felt was necessary. This is just one of those obnoxious things that apparently was even big enough of a deal that Yoshi-P himself said WTF.
2. Ok
3. Then you need to learn to read the thread as others have asked you to do. The slightest motion of anything on the desk sets the /away mode into return mode.

I'm glad they are looking into it but gosh - all they have to do is change it back to the way it was or just make it an optional thing. Why are they going to spend so much time on "let's see how this input device affects it"

1.) okay. i can understand. but it's not like it's anything that could be even POTENTIALLY game breaking. or anything that could upset some sort of balance in gameplay. it's a very simple feature.


3.) i did read the thread. and again... put the game in the background if you don't want it to capture user input. not hard to do. use a macro with a /wait timer. problem solved. it works... i promise.
