    Please change the rules of kicking someone out when the match starts

    [14:33]You were expelled from the duty due to extended inactivity.
    I mean why have a kick feature for not doing anything for 2 minutes when it takes the match 2 minutes to start? Just remove the auto kick in the passive wait time. Why was it programed like this to begin with?

    Why was my friend kicked out for not touching anything till right when the match started? She was actually pushing to move forward, then the game kicked her out. This is another issue with how the game is slow to process information and there should be some leeway to compensate for this, or upgrade the servers so they are not so slow. I really never played a game before that was this slow at processing information before, even ffxi was faster.

    Yep the 2 min start time and the 2 min kick for inactivity have bad timing in my opinion too.
    Atleast they should implement some sound when there are 30 sec left from kick and at 10sec too, like they do for duty finder pops.
    (and make this option removable for who don't like it)

    I hate to be "that" person..but they warn you in chat when you've got a minute till afk kick. All you'd have to do is hit spacebar or something. That said, I think the timer shouldn't start until maybe 30 seconds in.

    I know that they warn you but I still see a lot of people being kicked at the start of the match,
    In my sleepy match I usually tab during that time, a sound alert would be great in my opinion.

    Not the most important fix in the world, but it would be nice.

    You're right, it's 2 minutes for both. Which means you only get kicked if:

    1. You don't do anything in the start zone. No buffs, mount, nothing. Or...

    2. You are AFK after it starts.

    If you hit one button during the lock, the 2 minutes starts from then. So you can't get kicked unless you are STILL AFK after the walls go down.

    The AFK timer starts a bit before the match timer (might be linked to slow server processing, like it reacts to you being in the game before you are loaded in so the game does not check when you are truly in the game) so if you respond to sounds from being tabbed out, you be too late.

    Yes the game tells you but not by sound or anything...
