Kicked for inactivity whilst waiting for the start timer to expire?

[Themis]

I don't normally complain about anything, but what is with this?

I'm expelled from the duty because I was stood around waiting for the 2 minute timer (or whatever the time is), and hadn't done anything. And because it booted me I also get a 30 minute penalty to being able to go back in?

I'm sorry, but that's a little stupid and unfair. What exactly I am going to do for 2 minutes? As a BLM, not a lot. I'm normally waiting for the thing to start. I'm not normally in the habit of running in circles or jumping around the place for no reason, just to stop a time kicking me out in a time where I am told to wait. I'm usually reading the chat log in case there are any strategies being formed.

But to be locked out because I was doing what is expected at the start: to wait for it to begin...

I can understand the 2 minute kick timer, but to be penalised for it is a little harsh. It's not like I abandoned the run, I just didn't feel the need to do anything immediately.

Little frustrated by that. /rant

Almost happen to me. Just move a little. Don't go afk after you enter the instance. I gives a warning just have to do something to let the game know your there. Like jump or walk open a menu type in the chat etc... If you saw the warning and ignored it that's you fault. Think this features been there since they added pvp.

I though inactivity timer was 10 minutes?

I had something similar to this happen today but not quite.
I thought SE "fixed" the frontlines queues? >_>
Basically did it like normal, I clicked commence yet it took much longer for it to start the game than usual. In the end it popped up saying "Your registration is withdrawn" for some unknown reason.

lol just got locked out at the beginning of a match.
was reading forums waiting for gate. and boot.
this should be extended to 5 mins from 2.

same thing happened to me yesterday, zoned in mounted up and rdy to go. the 2 min expel timer starts as soon as you zone in and then youe forced to wait 2 mins for the match to begin. i dont thing the expel timer should begin until after a min has passed before the start of the match. if your afk for a min after the start of the match then ya kick ya.

I like this feature because it will get rid of the those people that is holding everyone back.

If you put it nicely, it is the semi-afkers.
If you are straight to the point, it is leechers.

This type of players usually destorying your PvP experience.

I like this idea. Delaying the inactivity timer by 1 minute would help those that don't need to buff or anything. If you're still afk after 1 minute of the match then its your own fault but to get kicked before the start is rather stupid imo.

If you delay the inactivity timer then if you really have a problem with AFK players you would have to wait over 2 minutes before they get kicked.

This is something to fix a problem. And if you are not AFK, then you should just do something, it gives you a warning at 1 minute. I don't think this should be extended because I don't want to have to wait in game for an AFK person to be kicked before I get someone who will actually play the game.
