    My dude. That's irrelevant. The point I am making is that you're scapegoating the wrong people and suggesting an unnecessary fix as a result. (Well that and the fact that this thread is about the complaint about lag and FPS drops in Limsa which the AFK people do have an actual impact on, not log-in queues. I believe the solution to this is making the other city states as enticing to hangout in as Limsa, not implementing an AFK timer.) The weeks before the patch there were no login queues on Balmung which is one of the busiest servers with (gasp) AFK people in Limsa. A few days before the patch dropped, queues started to happen during peak as people started showing up in anticipation of the new content and the peak-time queues have continued since then as a result. These queues are small (less than 100 people) and do not last long, so I'm not sympathetic to whining about log-in queues to be quite frank. Talk to me where there are queues in the 1000's like we had with the initial 5.0 drop (and most of 4.x patches) and I'll be happy to support you with afk time-outs to help with shortening log-in queues. We're beyond the need for it now, and waiting a week or two for the patch returners to get bored with the new content and attrition off will fix this "problem" on its own as we go back to the status quo of between patch times.
