Can't get into your house? Blame AFK bypassers

Yes lets restart the server so we can all scramble to get back in and overload the log in server, very smart idea...why didnt SE think of that!? /s

It's been done before. Worked in Stormblood for the most populated servers when people were abusing AFK.

Right, but people dodging AFK would have nothing to gain from being in their house vs. being anywhere else. So isn't it just as likely to be some activity that's actually related to housing that's causing tons of people to be in there?

Lol I wouldnt go around throwing false accusations but this user is over playing the playing dumb act and is definitely afk dodging in their house/inn room

Oh wow, what a surprise!

People using occams razor wrong really triggers me.

Well I mean... That's what a Typical Redditor does. Beware of "strawman", "ad hominem", "post hoc ergo propter hoc"...

The very basic idea of parsimony is that, given two hypotheses to pursue, you should look at the one that makes the fewest assumptions. Not only do you not have multiple hypotheses attempting to explain the same thing, but you're definitely not going with the one that makes the fewest assumptions from among them. It doesn't have anything to do with "the simplest explanation" despite how many people keep saying it.

Agreed. To see why logically, just assume every assumption has some universal probability p, is independent from every other assumption. Whoever has the more assumptions are less likely to have all the assumptions fulfilled. In the real world Occam's Razor is only really useful when your prior belief about the probabilities of all those assumptions are largely equal.

Sure they do. Less visibility and chance at detection.

Not necessarily. Sometimes hiding in plain sight is the way to go.

Honestly if I pass people at vendors I rarely would even consider them avoiding afk detection, and most of them are crowded so I'm never really focused on one person, and or I'm doing my own business. Afkers not the main problem the main problem is the game has alot of players, but even if they removed the afk people those people it wouldn't eliminate the problem. You'd still be having the same issue as before because once you removed them more players would take there place.

You already have no issues during off hours, and during prime time you'd still have the same number if afk people got removed and most afk aren't even afk at night anyways.
