I know that is may be difficult to understand this if someone has only played FFXI, but other mmos logs you out after you're afk for awhile. They set you as 'away' after like 5minutes of no activity and log you out after like 15mins. If you try to send someone a message after you away gets put up, it tells that to the person who sent you the message.

FF online games are notorious for people standing around AFK. It isn't like this in other games which log you out after X time idle. FFXIV is moving towards a more modern game environment and I would hope that a loud whistle isn't part of that movement. When you are playing a game, you should be paying attention 99% of the time, making stuff like calls pretty worthless.

Just my input.
