AFK boot dodgers

Should be a timer that logs out anyone for over 24 Hours continuous runtime just as a hardline. Should be so for their own health.

I can't get behind this. I don't buy the "for your own good" line coming from a position of authority.

That just leads to unnecessary and ineffective garbage rules, regulations and laws.

See: cigarette taxes and sugar taxes.

I agree only because of the precedent it sets. I think most of us would agree that someone doing a 24 hour gaming session needs to get some sleep, but if you say you can't do it for 24 hours, what's next? Cutoff at 12 hours? 8 hours? 5 hours?

There should be a hard cap for any expansion release only until que gets under control. There are people that are literally logged into the game for days hiding in house doing nothing while they sleep or do real world things so they don't get in que which ruins the game for the thousands of other paying players that have not been able to access the game since Endwalker launch. SE taking in all this money from the expansion knowing full well they can not deliver on the product. That is wrong.

Great. So when a successful MMO like FFXIV does it, "playtime cap" becomes the new goto answer for any company that doesn't want to or can't upgrade its servers. It'll become the new lootbox. That's why I don't want it to happen. Better to suffer through a few months of this garbage than to negatively affect the entire MMO industry.

Yes. Until these companies can properly address those using anti AFK tools to stay logged in for days. Some of the people in these forums have even boasted about hiding in homes and doing other things to stay logged in and avoid the que when they are not actually playing the game. My beef is only with those staying online when we all fully know they are AFK. I completely understand waiting in long que times for access during peak time. If you are in the game playing and enjoying what i am sure is an amazing story then that is awesome. Enjoy! But i rather wait in a long que knowing that every single person in game is actually playing the game and not using anti AFK tools to stay logged on.
