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?

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

I'm from FFXI and I think the OP is being ridiculous. Also in FFXI you could simply turn your afk timer off, so there's no comparison.

@ OP So far, this is working and helping people get logged in easier so stop whining like a little girl with a skinned knee. This will pass when the congestion eases up and no one is going to die from it in the meantime.

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?

Point is their service should be able to service all, we shouldn't be having such arguments back and forth between customers. It's an engineering and system problem, not a user problem. Let's not turn on each other for stupid reasons like this, your argument is pretty much invalid as it's completely besides the point.

We wouldn't have to circumvent AFK kick timers if they weren't in place - And they wouldn't be in place if the servers could handle the load. It's a software engineering challenge moreso than hardware, but they're just treating the symptom and ignoring the root cause yet here we are with the likes of you defending this bollocks. Hurray you.

People that were intentionally avoiding auto-logout are the reason we have this mass logout implemented.

You asked for this.

That's not how this works... Their servers just can't handle the influx of players, that's not players fault. People don't want to log out because there is a queue if they want to play again. It's a catch-22.

Besides, SE want more players to play, not less, so this problem has to be fixed in a better manner somehow - By SE. Not by customers turning on each other over a broken service that can't handle the amount of customers they sold their freaking product to. Please...

Sorry I fully support the auto log out.

Kick them AFKers

[Kling-Klang]

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

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.
