On the whole, itd save a few dollars altogether each year if implemented and if anything would just be a hinderence to those who go afk and leave the game on. For the aforementioned reasons, i really dont feel its be worth it.

Op if you are concerned with power usage while afk.... just log out. I dont want an auto logout feature.
Wrong, yes hardware needs a certain amount of wattage to run effectively, but that isn't what they use normally. When the game is running, the GPU, CPU, etc, are working harder, thus an increase in bill. You will notice a considerable increase in wattage usage from the gaming being on and just being on idle. It would be quite more then a few dollars.

Why should SE be worrying about people's electricity bill?

Take some responsibility yourself. SE has other things to be doing.
Why did SE worry about people having their weapons out before entering a dungeon? IDK, but it was implemented in the latest patch. SE does small things, why not this?
