Bypassing auto log out

[ForteNightshade]

Wait do people actually do this? For real?

Yes. Constantly. Bypassing the auto log out is hilariously easy and SE does basically nothing to stop it.

just report it and move along. no need to lose sleep over it.

if its "illegal" something will happen, and eventually when even that option gets removed, you'll know who to blame when people complain about it being taken out in the future....

with the KNOWN congestion issue its massively inconsiderate

People were doing this during the height of Rahuban EX. SE's solution was to literally turn the whole game off for five minutes a day. Reporting it will do absolutely nothing.

Why report it? How would you even prove someone's doing it to deliberately avoid the auto kick? I mean I'm absolutely certain some are, but I've also gone afk while talking to my retainers and gotten distracted only come back hours later just plain having forgotten I was still logged in : p

It is weird that it prevents the auto kick, but honestly there's so much weird about how this game works sometimes that it's not even that surprising. I'd be less than surprised to find out this is a "can't fix it without breaking something else" situation tbh.

Kids these days suggesting report to everything or is it just a crybaby community?

Been that way for years tbh.

I forget what Server it was but there was a player that was AFK next to one of the huts in Costa del Sol on it and every time I visited there they were standing in exactly the same spot unmoving.

I took a break from the game for a few months because of a content drought and when I came back they were still there.

It honestly creeped me out.

I saw someone always dancing naked in one spot whenever I played an alt on another server.

I eventually quit playing that alt, then world travel came out years later and I went to that server with it.

He was still here, years later.

Spooked.

If you see people standing at a summoning bell or idle while crafting that's exactly what they are doing. Hopefully SE will fix it where it closes you out of all opened windows inside the game after a certain period of time, before the EW launches.

It's odd to me that people would want to stay logged in all night or for days. I mean, isn't that also bad for your computer?

The only times I avoided the auto log out is when trying to get some of the rare fish (Lancet, Rainbow).
I think those are legitimate reasons to dodge the system.
But since they are changing it in 6.0, so that you can log out and keep the fishing chain going, I wouldn't be surprised if they start punishing people who try to escape the auto log out.
