Possible timer for open world AFK'ers?

[Dzian]

No it doesn't, AT ALL, your problems are most likely your internet route to the servers in spite of your assertion, as someone already said .. the server's DON'T RANDOMLY KICK PLAYERS!

The only time AFKers are an issue is when the servers can't handle the number of players trying to log in, and that only happens these days when new major content is released and even then it's nowhere near as common as it was when the game was new.

That's not entirely true. The sole reason iddyllshire is as laggy as it is and takes so long to load for many players is the sheer number of people afk there... that has nothing to do with internet route to servers.
Mor dhona was exactly the same in ARR but the problem magically vanished when the afkers all left and went to afk in iddyllshire..

That said I wouldn't be against an afk auto log timer but it would depend on the time limits involved.

If i'd just finished gathering cuprites and had about half an hour to kill before I could go back and get chysahl greens. I quite often just afk and clean the house a bit, make a start on dinner or something so if I got logged off after 30 minutes. just before my nodes started spawning again i'd be pretty annoyed with it.

If i'd gone to work and left my game running though it wouldn't really bother me in the slightest if it auto logged me out after 2-3 hours of inactivity.

some queues I can imagine could be a problem, but they could add a simple prompt every hour or so. for players to check if they're still queuing... that could lead to less of those queues where you're at 23/24 players and always one who doesn't hit the ready check. then it takes 10-15 minutes for it to ding again.
