How Shall We Deal With AFK'ers?

[Shojen]

If I ever get logged in, I am going to take screen shots of all the AFK'ers, Photoshop nasties on them, print them out, and burn them with dog poop!

If they are going to put limits on how many people can log on, they need to put in an automatic AFK kick, you are idle for too long you are out. I was playing the other day and saw people logged in the whole time but just sat in the same spot the entire day. It takes away from people who actually want to play the game.

While not an awful solution, should SE spend time developing an AFK kicker or spend time fixing the servers?

I'm for the latter as taking 100% of their time.

Funny, it is a bit like reading SEs "apology", they basically say they are sorry and then go on to sort of suggest it is also the players' fault for staying logged in even when AFK. It is freaking rediulous that they have the audacity to even freaking mention it. Sorry, but this is ALL on SE and they are the only ones deserving of getting all the shit they are getting and more.

How about instead of blaming AFK's you start with the source, which is unprepared server structures? So blame Yoshi/SE, make meme's or photoshop things on them. The AFKer's are a by product of a bigger problem.

Uh why didn't they have this to begin with in their game like all other MMO's? It should have both. This will just happen again in expansions and big patches.

You should begin by canceling your subscription. Money is the only thing that will ring in greedy JP developer ears.

Or we can get drunk?
