Please Re-implement the AFK Timer Kick?

[Maquinna]

as to initial reason for thread, i agree. make the AFK timer max 15min before it logs you out to char select screen. as the game goes, it's good, but these annoyances are taking away from it as each becomes known. start doing QOL changes to help improve the game please.

Please bring this back. Its frustrating that there is a wait queue on a Wednesday morning. People shouldn't be able to log in and never log out. You're hurting actual active players.

That moment when I'm afk as tank, with a 50+ minute wait time for wod.

[QUOTE=Raveykins;2729323]This is a suggestion but I am sure it is a one that hopefully many would agree with. The AFK timer kick, why was this removed and can we please have it back?

The reason this was removed was, one; the servers had become stable enough to implement the patch that removed the AFK timer, and two: the main reason was due to Atma and Animus. Both required waiting long periods for fates. Some fates back then would require waiting up to 4 hours or more. Many would do other things while waiting, and then get logged out, only to find out they had just missed the fate.

Yeah, an AFK timer is a good idea but a quarter of an hour is WAY too short.
I go AFK for that long waiting for a queue.... gosh.
A couple hours logged in AFKing is long enough, the kick can be that long. I mean, you haven't been playing for two whole hours, it ain't gonna hurt you to log back in after that.

Bumping because every time I talk to a friend about playing this game I have to caveat the hell out of it because Balmung is now locked out 24/7 except after maintenance. PLEASE do this at the very least.

[Raveykins]

Yeah, Balmung best times are normally super early morning, or right before/after Maintenance. I have friends that would like to try to play, but they have things like work and such, so they can't always be up at crazy hours to try to make a character. So it's normally closed out by the time they get the chance to take a look. I know some this is so bad, they actually make characters on other servers then actually pay to transfer to Balmung... which is ridiculous to have to do in the first place.

2h afk would work I think for most people. And yes why is there an afk autokick when there are full premade parties entering stuff that can't recruit fresh people if someone leaves? I mean apparently the flag is there for premades so just let it disable that autokick.

What SE needs to do is add a couple of new servers then offer free transfers to those servers to help with congested servers. Also the issue with RMT is getting worse not better, They need to find a way to stop them in their tracks and get rid of them. I also play Arche Age, there was a huge issue with RMT there, that seems to be getting lot better and there are no spam issues anymore. This is in well less then a year since launch. Here we are a year and a half or so past launch for this game and RMT bots and spam are as bad as ever. I believe they are much more of an issue then legit players going afk.

This sounds like its just exclusive to Balmung as a problem how'd your server how your server get so full to do this.

And no please don't put the kick timer back in its not fair to other people on servers who don't have this problem.
