Will the AFK timer be coming back at Heavensward early access & launch?

[Windsar]

I'd like to see this to be honest. It was a pretty big problem at 2.0 launch with AFK players and all. People didn't want to lose their "spot" because they had to go to work/school, then run against a wall for hours on end until they get home. I know there's not really a way to stop that (or is there?), and the changes to the servers and the addition of queues helped a bit. Maybe it'll help get some people on that are waiting to get in.

They can always remove the timer again like they did last time when the need for it wasn't there.

I'm sure this was already discussed, but I was curious

Just a suggestion, sorry if it's been mentioned already.

I hope not. Or at least, I hope it won't be a short timer. An hour or two and up is fine, but I think the old one was 30 minutes?

[Magistrella]

I hope it will be back the way it was. 30 minutes no action and you get kicked. 30 minutes is plenty of time, and after adding the feature login in again didnt take longer then 2-3 minutes. So if you have to afk for longer you wont loose much time.

If they dont add it - well, at a point i was waiting for 4 hours - yes, thats not gonna happen, if they dont add it i will afk the hell out of the game even when im at work >.>

3.0 won't be the second coming of 2.0, don't worry.

You have obviously never played an expansion release for an MMO on a populated server.

Just recently with the Warlords of Draenor release, the servers were literally at capacity on pretty much every server to the point where almost every server had at least 4-5h queue times and some longer then 12h+.

Auto log out timers need to be put in place, we don't need AFKers clogging up the server.

I have no idea how congested the servers will be personally. I cannot fathom the amount of people who will be logging in at launch and for how long ><. Early Access will probably be fine for congestion, but launch will be a different story.

All I demand is to remove finally auto AFK kick in duties for fully premade >.< couldnt finish a FC T1 because a tank had to do sth irl... he came back 10s after he was kicked and we left because we cannot replace also some dungeons were a bit interesting to finish....

AFK timer is only useful when there is heavy traffic. I beilieve that now SE only has a certain number of people in each server to reduce the amount of people on it. For now, I think the only way the timer will be set back in is if after the release of heavens ward the queue when you log in is like a couple hundred and it takes 5 minutes to log in. Usually the queue is like 30 seconds at most.

The servers will be down for emergency maintenance regularly for the first week, which will kick the AFKers.
