Players that go AFK in Island Sanctuary is a Problem

[Steve360]

OR ppl could not AFK in an instance....


For you information, my default selection is set so ill always target the npc/object first so for me it doesnt really matter, its just annoying - especially on whales etc..

Why would you focus on a solution which you have absolutely no control of?

In PS there's target filters so you don't target PCs.

There is one in pc version also. I do not see any player names except those on friends and whomever I am in a party with (just their initials). Way less clutter on screen

I don't mean that. There's four filters that you can set to target or ignore certain kinds of usually targetable objects, regardless of whether their name plates show or not. Those for are also available on kbm, but there have been enough other solutions posted for kbm already.

I would like the option to not show any PCs in a five malm radius or so. So I can see what emote the NPC makes and who of them is and who of them isn't head tracking the WoL.

no-one should be kicked for AFK in their island sanctury. That was supposed to be the whole point of it existing. Somewhere to chill out and relax (until your 30 mins is up)

Moving the exit spawn point to the side of the building would be better. Then it wouldn't matter how many players have been kicked AFK and whether or not they're mounted. They won't be in the way.

The kick is need to free up instance server space, just as you'll get kicked from a dungeon after 10 minutes AFK if you were in it solo or with Trust/Duty Support.

Other players want their chance to be in their Sanctuary as well.

from the time i started working on my island i have had no trouble getting to it except one time when the servers were overloaded them it just took me a little while longer to get in guess they are crying about the servers not being big enough for everyone to get in easy well they will fix it sooner or later so good luck with that.

I am aware of the WHY, it still goes against what we were told was the very point of its existence. All this getting kicked stuff is getting very tiresome.

It doesn't go against the point of its existence at all. I suspect you don't understand why the developers created the content. It wasn't to give you a pretty spot to AFK in.

If you're tired of being kicked for AFK, don't AFK for 30 minutes or don't be logged in if you're going to AFK for over 30 minutes. It's hardly disruptive to your game relaxation when you're not even at your keyboard to be playing the game.

Oh really? Do tell us exactly what the content was for then? Imagine doing something as selfish as laying about enjoying the scenery waiting for the next time-gate to roll around... outrageous!



I am sure if Square told some people it was a good idea to put needles in their eyes before doing certain content they'd be here praising the idea and blaming other gamers for their eyes bleeding.


Square knew how many lvl90 players there were going to be. They could have ensured there was enough resources to cover it, but they chose not to. That's not the fault of any player.
