Inactive Disconnect Poll

[KazyDogg]

I know there are multiple threads talking about this. If you like or believe that inactive (afk) should have an auto boot

If you do not make a movement or action with your controller / keyboard in 30 minutes you should be disconnected.

Chatting , inventory organizing and all these actions would count as active. Any actions or interface with the system counts.

If your sitting there or following someone for 30 minutes with out some system interface your afk an get disconnected.

I vote / support this idea and would like to see it added before official release. like this, bump it.

Quoting myself from a thread about this in General Discussion .

I'm all for 10 minutes anymore than that is just to long. If you have not done anything for 10 minutes then you should really have to give up that spot for someone who will actually be using that time to play. It should also be checking for actual game activity too so all those people who would just hold down a run key in town get kicked too.

If people knew it would only be a few minutes before they could log on, they wouldn't idle on the servers when they aren't playing.

I say 30 minutes for the fact I have little kids, I don't think that if I have to change a diaper and clothes or whatever I should get disconnected. There are many things I might have to do that may take more than 10 minutes.

Heck, 20 to 40 minutes would be a huge improvement over what's happening now.

I understand that life happens but 30 minutes is way to long imo. That half an hour that people will be wasting doing nothing(in game) is a half an hour others could be been using for progressing their character.

What aggravated me the most is the fact that I was trying to do things and be active I get booted while others just sit and waste space but never get booted

The fact that people are consigning themselves to the point where this is an option shows how terrible the primary problem is. Booting afk people will not even put a dent in server stress considering the fact they have had to continue to lessen the amount of concurrent users several times. This would be a short term and largely ineffective solution.

They can't service the amount of people they have now.....and it appears they are not even close. And when launch comes the general population will double. Kicking afk people won't make up for that kind of influx. The only long term solution is in hardware, not game features. I can't believe they messed up this badly after 1.0 nearly sunk their company.

Yes it maybe just a bandage on the wound but it would still help. There is no reason not to have inactive auto disconnect. Anything that limits and regulates the amount of players that can be on at one time should also self purge those that are not participating and using valuable slots that others are waiting to open up

YES SO MUCH YES on this ....!!!
many large scale games do this so I don't see why this one should be any different.
especially if you are going to lock so many people out of the game because of full severs
