AFK PC's eating up spots on server

[Elkwood]

This, im sorry but it does make you a dick. When your not going to be playing for hours on end it is just common courtesy to log out and let someone who currently has the time to play enjoy themselves. But alas, you may not be able to play when you get back due to the server being at capacity so you will waste a spot for hours on end because baby gets what baby wants *rolls eyes*

Addendum: Before anyone says i'm only mad because i cant log in i assure you i'm not. i played for two hours today and logged out willingly when i had to run errands, imagine that. I simply feel bad for the people who haven't gotten a chance to play due to the selfish ones :-/

Then like others guess im a dick dont care

These AFKers are more of a problem and are not helping even themselves by staying on, SE needs to do something about them, maybe even going so far to actually ban some of them.

That's a terrible idea.

I'm not sure how much of a problem AFK people are at this point, but a timer is definitely needed. During the beta there were a few times where I left the game up and stepped away from my computer long enough for it to go into sleep mode. When I turned it back on a few hours later, the game was still running with my character standing in the same spot he was when I went afk. That's just crazy imo...

While it sucks, you would probably do the same thing if it took you an entire day to login.

It took me almost an entire day to log in after being kicked off on Saturday. Still logged out Saturday and Sunday night before going to bed.

Since I have been unable to login to the servers since late Saturday night for only a few hours before maintenance. And unable to login since, when I do make it on the servers I most likely will not log back out.

personally im more than happy to log out and give my slot to someone whos been staring at the login screen for the past few days i would much rather they get in and enjoy the game then want to stick around than just get fed up and cancel their preorder or something

i do understand those who may have had an extremely difficult time getting on in the first place not wanting to log out until they know theyre going to be able to get right back on once they get back from work or wherever but for me ive been lucky enough to have only really been affected by the planned downtime anything in between ive been able to play and enjoy the game

so as i type this and about to go to sleep whoever was next in line your turn is here enjoy

[Evilized]

Say what you want, I will be logged in 100% of the time until the server issues are fixed. It's your choice to log out and if you can't get back in afterwards that is between SE and you. It really sucks that it has gotten to this point but thems the breaks.

That's a terrible idea.

Programmers can agree with you that's a terrible idea. XD

So I'm a dick for saying that people shouldn't hog server space if they're not actively playing?
That's rich.
If certain people are going to behave like selfish children then they should be treated as such. I hope they add a afk-kick timer and I hope they add it soon.

Well besides just bashing on the AFK a$$hats, what the hell happened to log in queue? It probably would not be so infuriating if we had that back. Knowing you have a turn coming at some point helps. Would make it easier to log out when you were not playing anymore too instead of going afk. Having to continuously click to try to get in is just dumb. WTF happened to the queue? I don't care if I am 5000th in line as long as I know I am coming up according to when I originally tried to log in. Don't make it this race to see who can click the fastest being the winner of the login game. We all paid, we all deserve equal opportunity to play, even if they have screwed up server population control.
