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.

I can completely agree with 15 minutes. As I've said, this just seems to be an annoying thing people are doing that takes away from those wishing to play.

I actually heard a person defend people for AFK'ing for hours at a time because it's just "what they do", but that really isn't a good reason to AFK for hours on end if you aren't playing.

Also I think locking the house doesn't work to boot them... you directly have to go to a GM and have them removed from the house that way. So a way to remove them from the house yourself would also be a nice feature.

Two prime examples as to why there should be an AFK kick. Several people just mounting their Behemoths and Magitek Armour then going AFK in front of Auriana, making it very difficult to actually get in and click to buy new gear.

Started off as just one person then the rest of them joined in just to be a**holes, but I bet you if that one person hadn't been doing it while AFK none of the others would have.

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

you might want to remove those names or the pics entirely, it's Public shaming and will get you banned from forums.

[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.

While I agree on the afk logout 15 minutes is way too short, make it an hour.

I rather cry out to REMOVE the afk autokick from duty after 10 mins for full premade ;_;
It is pretty annoying if you do firsttime T1 for a FC member, arrive at Cadduceus and 1 person says "sorry im needed need to afk a bit" and then gets kicked... returns 20s after kick... >.>
Idm to complete a normal 4 man dungeon on a 3 man setup but for raid content it is a pretty pain and it is premade so why is it even there if you cannot re-recruit members?

But yeah also the afk kick from game itself should come back but 15 min is rather short (bring out the garbage, get into lil talk with someone, get something from frdge combo time IS short especially when waiting for a DF) imho let it be min 30 min maybe up to 60min.

[AskaRay]

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.
