I also really don't understand the rationale behind not disconnecting players that are AFK for too long. It just makes sense to give someone the boot who's not actively playing and just taking up space on the server, so those that are going to actively play can do so. It's really frustrating, especially when you're working, and then you get home and the time you have to play the game happens to be during peak hours, and you can't even get into a queue to be able to get in and play...

I'm sure that a lot of people, knowing they won't be disconnected for being AFK for long periods of time, are taking full advantage of it. As long as Square-Enix continues to allow it, why wouldn't they? I really hope that SE will do something to change this, because the time's I did manage to get into the game and play, I really enjoyed, and the gameplay itself seemed to run pretty smoothly. I'd like to see this game succeed, but when so many people are locked out and can't even play it...
