Limsa Idlers should be removed.

[strawberrycake]

The amount of people still just afking in Limsa all day are honestly some of the worst offenders within this launch, the servers are in SHambles as is and you see the same faces in Limsa not playing the game afking. Just make it to they can't log in for like 4-5 hours, ez

This is downright absurd suggestion and one of those wasted post that gets ignored. I had high hopes you would come up with a good resolution but no. Immaturity is all I read.
Why? Because there are people with RL responsibility. For instance, a player who has a child who suddenly falls. They are considered "AFK" and gets punished for 4-5 hours? I hope you enjoy your 4-5 hours queue for this absurd suggestion.
Instead: I hope the AFK timer goes down to 10 minutes. At least TEMPORARY until the hype dies down it can go back to 15-20 or even 30, however, I really advice SE to really look into the 'cheating' how to remain logged in whilst asleep.
Cutscenes - people can AFK in one dialogue for 8 hours and it assumes it's in cutscene, false. Go to an inn and play a cutscene, way to go congesting the world. Speaking to an NPC.
I think the most important thing is; whether cutscene or not. If there is no interacion with mouse/keyboard after 30 minutes ir should boot because there is no cutscene that you'd auto-play that'd take 30 minutes or longer.
This would automatically if I consider it correct right where if you speak to an NPC and have a junkmongrel's vendor open or speak to an NPC- if there is no interaction with it, or summon bells, after 30 mins it should boot people out.
I hope this is a thing

I mean I'm mostly poking fun, this always happens every MMO launch, but if you wanna be anal and call people immature you got it my guy go off. I just dont see the need to name call honestly

Let me correct myself for not having read your post as a 'troll post' instead since that is more mature apparently; I was very bummed you didn't make a serious post about it as it is a serious issue and it'd be helpful for others to voice in their opinions.
So I was indeed disappointed and now even more than before knowing this. But I digress. I hope they will do something about it.

Similarly, I don't see the need to create thread after thread of mindless moaning, whining, completely over the top suggestions and attacks on people that "afk in limsa", because god forbid you stand still for 5 minutes and go make yourself a cup of coffee.

Or god forbid you spend some time just chatting with FC members.

Or whatever other reason they might have to stand around in limsa, maybe that's just what they enjoy doing?

what about the the lines of afk lalafell multiboxers that just HAVE to stand around afk for 24 hours a day

You can't really police something like this. How do you distinguish between someone who is AFK for a "legitimate" reason vs someone who is AFK just "taking up space"? What if you're talking to your FC, but making dinner at the same time? You chat for a bit, go check your dish, come back to chat some more, etc? Is that wrong of them to do? I wouldn't say so. They're well within their right.

The 30 min timer is sort of the best case scenario. Sucks that it's easy to cheese, but it is what it is.

I was playing earlier this morning, but had to logout because I had a pretty bad headache. Haven't been able to get back on sense. Wish I would, but oh well. We gonna be alright.

edit: Oh, apparently if you're speaking to an NPC or have a vendor window open, it doesn't log you out? Well, in that case, yeah that's kinda ridiculous haha. I didn't know. Whoops.

Easy, lower the kick time to 10min, find some way to implement a box you need to click to remain online. Restart servers randomly Have it move randomly.. i know ways to bypass the afk timer, this is about the only way your gonna clean it up. And tbh not my fault if you have things to do. 10min is plenty fair.

I dunno, restarting servers is fine on paper, but then you're punishing legitimate players by interrupting their experience so you can free up an undetermined about of space. And then everyone is gonna try to log back on at the same time causing more errors. Just seems like it does more harm than good. 10 min seems a bit restrictive in my opinion, but to each their own. I'm rarely, if ever, afk longer than 10 min. If I am, I'm probably not coming back anyway so doesn't bother me any. Then again, I don't have any kids or other immediate responsibilities that might keep away for that long. 30 min is fair to me, but to each their own. We could argue about that to hell and back.

Another thing worth considering is if people were getting kicked more frequently due to inactivity the login queues would move faster as well. Especially since a majority of the idling offenders are people dodging the auto logout finding ways to stay logged in for hours or days when they have no actual plans to play the game during that time.
