Can something be done about the utter waste of character server slots by limsa afkers

[Jatoi]

If the servers were under any stress, or if people were having any problems logging in due to congestion they would turn on the 30 minute timer like they have for Expansion launches. The people in Limsa are not preventing anyone from logging in at all.



The only time any zones get overloaded these days is because of hunt trains/S-ranks, and that has nothing to do with Limsa AFKers, but 300-500 people trying to swarm a single zone at a time. These hunt trains may also cause delays in visiting other servers, but again, nothing to do with people AFK in Limsa.

Wouldn't hurt to put it in anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you remove all the AFK players,
Then all the cities will be emty and
anyone who tries ffxiv for first time
will assume It's a dead game and leav.

But it is a dead game. All the streamers are playing Palworld now lol.

That's what people dont get tbh, afkers make for most of this game's population lol, if you remove afkers all worlds would be like dynamis.

Nothing can be done since they're not breaking any rules, just gotta deal with it.

They do break rules when there's afk kick timers on expansion launches though. Guaranteed using auto clickers or something to stop the afk timer

Talking about people like famfrits carbuncle brigade etc

''Well ahhhchktually'' Yes, of course there will still be afkers, but not nearly as many as we have now.

I started in ShB, which had an active playerbase that was heavily influenced by the pandemic so I can't comment on past experience, but I really think you're looking at the situation through rose tinted glasses here.

People who play the game are gonna play the game, and if there's not content for them to partake in then they'll just stop logging in. AFKers are always going to sit around until whatever they want to do is active.

I guess, in one month no one talks about Palworld anymore. This game is so flat and generic.

People wouldn't be afking if the developers gave us meaningful and lasting content to pursue.
But nothing in this game has any intrinsic value because the developers are too scared to leave the people who don't even want to play this game out.

People AFK because they like AFKing and being seen.

I've been playing for years and have never had any desire to leave my character showing off somewhere.

At most I might park them on a bench if I leave the game running while I do other stuff, but I'm more likely to hide in an inn room if I'm idling or queuing, or especially if I'm in any kind of party that is running instanced content over and over because the inn room is quick to load and my PS4 is slow.

But they are vital to my gaming experience.
Every time i have to go to limsa i look around and think to myself "well at least i am not them" and feel better already
