RIP AFK'n flexing in Limsa for a little bit

[Vyrerus]

People can just open the HUD display editor and sit AFK still unless they changed that, I'm pretty sure :O!

Wonder if you can report them now for circumventing the logoff-timer.
I'll give it a try on those I spot for multiple hours at the same place, busy with *something* to keep themselves logged in.

No worries people with Legend titles and ridiculously nice gear I still appreciate your flexing. Also AFK bards running midi programs I really will miss you guys.

In an effort to ease server congestion, players who are inactive for more than 30 minutes will be logged out automatically.

I'm pretty sure Bards playing their midi songs will not be affected as they are doing something. So you'll still see bards rocking their 5 hour playlists.

How would you know they are not chatting with their FC or friends? There are no rules against that.

In general any imput even if they just move their camera ingame will reset the timer.

Pepperidge Farm remembers in 2020 when I made the topic about asking for an AFK timer in Limsa. Who's laughing now, Limsa Thot?

Considering the strongly worded letter from YoshiP about the current situation, you can bet if this doesn't work they will resort to other measures.

What are you going to report them for? Cheating? You are actually saying that you will report people for staying logged in a game they pay for. Do you even realize how absurd this sounds? SE has money to spend on servers, people entering 1k login queues is unacceptable and this new rule is just a quick fix.

Why are you arguing with a Karen rofl?

If people are going to intentionally attempt to circumvent the logout timer through means like this, though, that should be something Square can take action against. Not only is it, at that point, directly attempting to circumvent the measures they're putting in place to make the game playable for everyone, but it's intensely selfish to not just log off when you're done playing, especially in a situation like we're in at the moment.

Also just a point outside this comment, other MMOs will boot you after a certain amount of time regardless of server status. This should just be the norm in the game always, not just because they're seeing more congestion currently.
