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.
