Not the issue, because 'sitting round while AFK' generally won't last very long, in any case the current situation totally entices people to deliberately 'subvert the system' should AFK idle kicking ever happen.

I say again, it's a placebo, in games that have it it doesn't work at those times you NEED it to.

I'd like to address the developers for writing their formal apology for the servers being limited and locked. I'm sorry, but an apology isn't enough. There's been extremely limited testing during the phases (3 days every 1-2 months) and quite honestly in the last phases when more people joined, especially the open beta, these should've been extended periods in order to prepare for the overwhelming number of players trying to log in at once. 3 days was not long enough for this and before the final phase was even over it was apparent that there would be issues with people not being able to log in or having trouble downloading files. It's already the end of day 1 of the official launch and every NA/EU server is locked. I, along with many others, are paying for a game we can't play because of issues and congestion. I am not impressed at all with this launch.

Not the issue

IS the issue. If less people are encouraged to sit around AFK then there will be more people in the game that are actually playing. End of story. Right now, my friend and I have just decided that we will never willingly log our characters out again, so long as this system is in place. We're not botters, nor do we ever want to be. We aren't computer savvy and don't want to go on questionable websites to download programs that may or may not have malicious software on them. But we will sit AFK in the server while we go to work and school, if it's going to be that easy. We don't want to spend our few hours of free time clicking Num0. So yes, what is being proposed will dissuade a lot of "casually AFK" people.

Your argument of "it won't fix all AFKing always forever" is a pointless argument. If it helps, it helps. To use your language, it doesn't have to be a panacea, but it's definitely not a placebo.

2 hours later...1017...fix this already I looked forward all damn day to play after a horrible day of work.

People have come up with some pretty creative spots to AFK from what I have seen. We should screen shot the AFK'ers and announce a winner for the most creative "aw no one will see me here" spot...lol

So essentially the best players will never be found.... I guess the winners be all afking in the inn lol.

No I am not clueless, i know about the macro users and usage on auto controlled characters. But thats their problem NOT mine. I can careless about that, cause they are the ones who are gonna get banned. I am Simply talking about when your afk and not doing anything, just log off so other people can get in or have SE just do Idle kick and let them worry about catching macro users.

You're clueless, aren't you, go visit the Rift or WOW PVP forums, both games which have idle AFK kick, and see the huge number of complaints about 'botters and macro users suing trivial ways to con the game into thinking there's a player controlling toons when the player is AFK.

IDLE AFK KICKING DOES NOT WORK against those determined to be douches.

Open up more fing servers and allow free xfers or something. This is ridiculous. I'm not gonna come home from work everyday excited to play a game that I can't even get into. This amazing game is gonna fail because of stupid bs.

Login before you goto work. ^^

Login before you goto work. ^^

Yep... let's address the server being at capacity by telling people to stay logged in!

I don't blame people for wanting to do it given the current situation, but SE is really dropping the ball but not talking about it.

Currently there is no AFK timer and if you stay standing in your inn all day you collect rested experience. Given the situation of the servers and the game mechanics they implemented.... you can guess what many people are doing.
