So when are bans being thrown out..

[Ferrasper]

Bans aren't needed. Kicks are. Maybe a redesign of how the game determines AFK. I don't craft often--is it realistic to expect that it can take 30 minutes to craft a single item? If not, then as someone above me suggested, during the first few weeks of the expack SE should make it so that no key-press for 30 minutes = kicked.

You do realize there easy ways around that? All I have to do is go to my room and put a small object on the d key, and I move around in a circle with no AFK timer activated. The same can be done with controllers. You just put a string over one of the joysticks, so you are constantly moving.

This.

You are not going to stop people going AFK. Bans will not solve the issue. It is within our right to go AFK if we need too. I found my mouse moves with my fan vibrating which helps me avoid the 30m timer when I need to AFK to get something done, or make food. However I am also on a small server that has at most 20 person queues to log in.....So even if it did kick me, I'd be back in less than a minute.
