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

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.


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"

Using up a macro slot on the hotbar of every class is such a rock stupid thing to do when you can just /away and be done with it. Anyone who played XI did this and never had an issue. Why it was changed, three years into the game, here, when there are so many other actually broken things to work on is beyond me.

well the macro is to add a /wait timer. so the /away command is only executed after the game is no longer capturing user input. and you only need to put the macro on a single hotbar. unless you are sharing every hotbar between classes/jobs.

My point was that an /away command that requires the use of a hotbar slot is a poorly designed system. My hotbars are being used for skills, not for system commands. Maybe you are on Ps4 and it's different for you. I like to keep my hotbars for class abilities, spells, and other game-playing related things.

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.

I think that many people here are forgetting what AFK means: Away From Keyboard.

one slight problem here, the feature is called away not AFK always has been it was always triggered with /away. the /AFK command was added later for convenience(should have been a seperate icon as well)

it has probably been mentioned before but I searched and didnt find it so. those of you using game controllers should note that the controller will set you back faster then the mouse will. if you are determined to use the macro to put yourself away with the /wait command make sure the feature to allow the controller while the window is out of focus is not enabled

Thought there was already thing that shuts it off.

System configuration --> Other Settings --> Auto afk settings shut it off.

That only turns off the auto AFK system, not the auto un-AFK system that returns you from being AFK if you move the mouse even after you just set it.

System settings (configuration) at the bottom most tab on the left (the ...) called "other settings". Auto-afk. Change it to "off".

Searched on google to turn off the afk system. Got to this, solved my problem, thanks
