Lower that auto-kick timer.

I just waited 4 hours to log in. What in the balls...
Every time I log on, I find people sitting there in craft stance with the AFK chair icon next to their name. I'm sure other people feel the same when I say this, but I would like to be able to get on to play instead of being locked out so other people can sit there and not play because they don't want to put the effort in to queue.

It's people exploiting methods to circumvent the boot. They do it so they can go to work or go to bed and not get booted then have to deal with the queue, which wouldn't be as slow if people weren't doing that. Even more people do it in their housing, making housing inaccessible. There's another thread on this topic.

In your case, you're not the people who brag in shout about how clever they are to have avoided being booted while they worked an 8 hour shift and got dinner on the way home. Or the people who go on about how they afk in their company housing while doing other exploits so they can hop on promptly in the morning after waking up. Which doubles up on the problems of exacerbating the situation and also prevents people from being able to even get into their own housing because of 'extreme server overload'.

And there are a lot of people doing this right now while they work, while they run off to do things, and it makes the queues go slower - taking 1k of people queueing in a half hour to an hour to 4 hours. Which, of course, feeds more into the problem because now we have 4 hour queues and no one wants to deal with that so more people are exploiting this for hours at a time, which means the queues are going even slower.

See the problem?
