Add AFK logout timer to Limsa

[DevilsDontFly]

I hate to say this but even with auto-kick for AFKers Limsa would still be busy and prone to issues and overcrowd. And you wanna know why? It's the only city worth going to if you're server hopping to buy stuff on the MB or checking prices. That's it.

Yes, people on your server might prefer going to Limsa for various reason, everyone else that isn't on your server will also go to Limsa but for the reason I listed above. For as long as you have a Market Board right next to the same Aetheryte used to Server Visit, Limsa will remain the busiest place in the game due to convenience. There will always be 200+ people on that map, the only difference an AFK kick will do is replace all the FC tags with <<Wanderer>>.

I just don't go to Limsa without a good reason. Eulmore is a little harder to avoid, being the main endgame hub, but even then, I only really visit once or twice a week.

It's...really strange how hostile some players get in response to proposed quality of life features. The entire point of them is that they're not a necessity but contribute to making things smoother and faster. In many ways I fear the game is held back by the need for some players to be contrarian even when there's no real need to oppose something.

[Theodric]

Ah, so it's something only really applied in a heavy handed manner then. I see.

Personally I'm all for options that make the game experience smoother overall - which is exactly what this thread's proposal would accomplish. It's no different to how a lot of time is wasted clicking through various in-game menus that could be made more user friendly overall.

Or how gathering was changed to be smoother and quicker. Even seconds saved add up over time.

That argument could also be used to support letting people stay AFK in the game. It's far more efficient for someone to not have to log in again if you have to do something for 15 minutes before coming back and much less time would be wasted. All those seconds saved not having to log in again add up over time after all.

I'd suggest otherwise. There's also a big difference between stepping away from the game for a short amount of time and longer absences. If people aren't actually playing the game for significant periods of time then it'd be common courtesy to log off to help contribute to the cause of not clogging up the server for other players who actually are intending to do stuff in-game.

It was sarcasm, dear.

It was sarcasm, dear.

If you say so, mate.

[Mhaeric]

I do, hun!
