Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

Force logout on what, 50 servers? On thousands of players because 1 server (Balmung) is having long queues is excessive. Why not apply this measure only to Balmung?


Update:

This has been changed to only the affected worlds, how it should have been from the start. Thanks for looking into this SE.

Thanks to the cooperation of all our players, the simultaneous logout measures currently being instituted have shown great effect, cutting login wait times during peak hours from what was previously several hours down to several tens of minutes. We sincerely thank you for your cooperation.

Because of this situation, we will be ending the simultaneous logout measures on Worlds where logins have stabilized. Once again, we would like to express our greatest appreciation for all your cooperation.

Temporary simultaneous logout measures will continue for the following Congested Worlds and Worlds that still require long waits for certain logins. We will continue to monitor the login situation, and keep you informed of any changes to, or ending of, these measures as they occur.

We apologize for the inconvenience the congestion has been causing our players, and thank you for your understanding and continued support.

This is a bunch of crap! We don't have queue issues on Jenova. To say they're going to force us out even if we're in an instance just because we happen to be on a data center with a massive server where people are getting around the afk kick? They need to do this on the congested servers and not blanket punish the entire data center who already have to deal with server instability from being on the same data center as these congested servers.

It will be annoying, but you will have an HOUR advance notice and it will only last ten minutes. It isn't a big deal at all. It really is a non-issue.

It is, I already transfer to one of the new servers and we don't have this problem, why we have to deal with this? Also, what NoxLumina point out its 100% true, GL HF with the login servers.

The problem is with overpopulated servers like Balmung so reset those only.

maybe if people would actually log off instead of sitting afk while in a crafting window they wouldn't have to do this?

Maybe if they just created a function that would detect if an action was taken, even if in a craft or talking to a NPC within a 30 minute timer, they wouldn't have to do this? If someone hasn't pressed a single button in a craft for over 30 minutes it's clear they're not actually crafting.

There is zero excuse for this band-aid attempt at "fixing" people abusing AFK timer. I don't know why I keep seeing people trying to justify it.

This has to be a joke..... Really SE?

I know it has probably been said multiple times by now, but this is something that should only be implemented (or at least enforced) on congested servers, not low populations servers.

I just wanted to comment to voice this concern.
