I do not understand how server is loaded when entering a house. (NA morning, 6 queue)

[Roda]

The only solution is for SE to get serious about people blatantly abusing retainers to AFK and people reporting them.

Reports don't work on the ones hiding in houses. :T

What SE needs to do is periodically refresh zones that have retainer bells in them, or the potential for retainer bells, so that it'll boot all the afkers hiding or otherwise.

The problem is being addressed, right here: http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...2360440abe9651

active players and total characters on the server have little to do with the behavioral problem of exploiting the afk kick system
