Kick or ban afk dancers

[Macleod]

They have repeatedly stated that AFK dancing still times out.

If I wanted to, I could easily set up a macro on my gaming keyboard to type in a new emote and change what dance I'm doing in less than 30 minute intervals. It's stupidly easy to get around their afk kick system, but here I am suffering through Queue Savage because I'm an honorable person and log out when I'm done playing.

I still have a hard time seeing this as ban worthy. Taking out two people is not going to be a big deal. It won't effect the lines, at all. Can gms take away peoples ability to use emotes?

Some people pay to do this, this is how they want to play the game.
This is their right as paying customers.

So basically, "if you have a job then don't play FFXIV, or get banned" ? Yeah, sure, makes sense, brilliant !
Edit : A job that makes you not being able to log in before queues reach massive peak that is. Seemed obvious but idk, felt like it needed to be said just in case c:

If the customer wants to pay subscription to dance and hang around cities, villages, where ever all day in FFXIV that's their right, they can dance and hang around all they want, they paid for their time and have the right to use it for that.

If you don't like how they are enjoying their time in FFXIV, too bad, cry me a river.

Buh Buh Buh Server Queues- that's on SquareEnix to provide enough access to customers/subscribers. Take it up with the business you're paying money to, the customers already did their part by paying for service.

... the customers already did their part by paying for service.

Paying for a service they can't access. Early Access was 4 days ? In my case I've been able to do only one. Some people haven't even been able to do one.

But anyway, it's not said in ToS that avoiding AFK timer is bannable. Yet. They can just kick people off the game.


Though I don't think OP meant AFK as in Away From Keyboard as it's meant to be, but more as in they're doing nothing else than dancing, basically I suppose they meant more a form of slacking than AFK ? I could be wrong. Probably am but hey

How many times do we need to say this! The login server and the world server are not the same things! The queue is situated on the login server, to not flood the world server it lets a maximum of 100 players onto the server at a time. Even if you cleared the world server and kicked every single player from that world the login queue would still be there! A player who managed to get into the world is no longer congesting the queue. Did you seriously believe that every time you see the queue getting lower it's because players are leaving the server? Dude! People ON the server aren't affecting the queue!
