So when are bans being thrown out..

I do think they could make their AFK detection software a bit smarter, so it'd be harder to circumvent and the auto AFK logout could work more reliably. It's just a question of whether the problem is going to exist long enough for the extra development to be worth the effort. (And even then, some people would come up with sophisticated enough bot programs to still avoid it anyway.)

Honestly? No. I doubt it. It's launch week - the hype will calm down and the limitations will be removed in no time.

Or they just tie together their controller with a rubber band and run in a circle in a private room or something. It's kind of laughable how easy it is to trick the afk kicker.

By making the detection software smarter, I didn't just mean including when someone is crafting, etc., but also watching for cases where the only interaction is as repetitive as a held down button or analog stick will create. Either no interaction or a constant repeating interaction for over half an hour should trigger the AFK logout. (And if they're in the middle of a craft or in the middle of an NPC quest interaction, exit from it as though it hadn't started.)
