Against SE Auto-Logout System. calling for a peition to end this!

[Zayedan]

This is by far the worst idea SE has come up with. FFXI never had this problem
1. They should have restricted character creations UP TO the server Capacity.
2. Now that it is too late, they should invest in servers to support the increased populations ( not everyone is going to move servers, and we shouldn't be forced to)
3. I pay a subscription to be on the game 24/7 unless its maintenance, this move only shows they want me to pay a sub, and log in when they want me to.
4. It should NOT be considered an EXPLOIT for staying logged into the game, FOCUS should be on WHY the Servers CANNOT handle the amount of characters they allowed to be created.
5. It is no secret SE makes healthy profits and well deserved, but it is a shame they have gone this far just because of the bottom line, this does not reflect QUALITY, this is a CHEAP move, and making the players who are all paying customers take the heat.

So you're someone from FFXI that dodged the AFK timer and is now looking to complain about not being able to do it anymore?

You just dipped your bleeding arm into a river full of piranhas. Can I have your stuff?

[Dortharl]

Do you pay a premium sub? I'm not sure why you believe your use of the services supersedes the rights of other paying customers. But forget that I have one question, why do you need to be logged in when you are not playing the game?

Sorry I fully support the auto log out.

Kick them AFKers

I dont see the problem with the auto-logout system.

Well to be fair you can turn off the AFK timer in Final Fantasy XI. So you wouldn't really have to dodge it.

What is it you do not like about it?
If you are at work, it does not affect you negatively, it affects you positively. More room on server for when you get home and are able to play.

If you are a NEET, then surely you can afford to waste 10 mins plus, to get something to drink, eat, look outside the window and then log in again.
Only ones who are pissed at this are the ones afking during the morning so that they can play when they get home from work/school.
And do we really need to cater to those peoples needs?

[Squigley]

Coming back from work, entering queue, waiting for an hour or two and then seeing people running around in a circle or otherwise circumventing the afk-kick made me... Not so happy. Comments from Balmung people indicate that the daily kicking is doing what it's supposed to do.

Three thumbs up from me for the forced logout.

Lol....some people.

True, but that did not happen. So now people in High Pops have to deal with it or tranfer with a free transfer

2. Now that it is too late, they should invest in servers to support the increased populations ( not everyone is going to move servers, and we shouldn't be forced to)

No, they offer the free transfers as a solution if the PLAYER so desires it. If you don't wan't to move, you must accept the consequences.

3. I pay a subscription to be on the game 24/7 unless its maintenance, this move only shows they want me to pay a sub, and log in when they want me to.

I pay the sub too, but have no such thoughts. It is their game. And there is no reason to be on 24/7. None. Again, everyone else gets to suffer due to the actions of a few.

4. It should NOT be considered an EXPLOIT for staying logged into the game, FOCUS should be on WHY the Servers CANNOT handle the amount of characters they allowed to be created.

But it IS an exploit if you do anything that dodges a consequence. They do this with each expansion with the 30 m boot kick for about a month or two. Then it goes back to normal. I think it's totally acceptable for that amount of time. Servers cannot handle the amount of people who AFK for no reason, and hinders the ones who want to play. Again the solution is either deal with it (increasing the server is a temporary fix only. It does not solve the larger issue) or move to a smaller server.

5. It is no secret SE makes healthy profits and well deserved, but it is a shame they have gone this far just because of the bottom line, this does not reflect QUALITY, this is a CHEAP move, and making the players who are all paying customers take the heat.

Since you basically admit to using an exploit to make sure you stay logged on, from someone whos on a lower pop server, thanks for being the jerk (of many) that started this all. Yes SE makes profits, but if people quit over not being able to play the game with AFKers taking up legit spots in a server......they make less....so yes, this reflects their consideration in a matter I'm sure they didn't actually want to act on. I doubt they wanted to take it this far. But the players pushed them this far. It's not a cheap move. While not a permanent fix, it helps alot of people actually play the game for at least a little while. So as I paying subscriber, I am perfectly fine with this. Just a thought, maybe, if people would stop the AFK exploits....maybe they just wouldnt have to keep doing this....brilliant I know... (sarcasm)
