    AFK timers, where is the queue

    With currently restricted server populations to apparently very low levels to avoid server crashes due to high traffic, there should be implemented mandatory AFK timer removal from the server that cannot be turned off until you people get your hardware issues situated. I FINALLY logged in yesterday and I like many many others said to myself, no way am I logging off and going through that torture again. So I was on a good chunk of the day even though I wasn't active for probably half of it. I saw one guy at the Gridania Aetheryte Plaza in the same spot all freaking day long. Implement it, if you're AFK longer than 20 minutes, boot.

    Why can I not be put into a queue rather than having to painfully attempt to reconnect manually making multiple clicks and making me have to sit at the PC hoping to get in at every click. The queues have been there in the past, I don't care if I am 1500th in the queue, at least I'm not continually clicking over and over again. Please fix it.

    How about a better solution : Be patient , wait until servers get fixed and stop creating Threads about people being AFK.

    When you say you don't care if you are 1500th in the queue and if you go afk while waiting for your turn to get in but when you finally get in while you are still afk and you don't know that. You will see the main menu when you are back wondering if you got kicked out for being afk after you got in.

    Bad idea.

    We all paid, if you are inactive on the server you are taking up a slot for an active player, if you are waiting for a queue while you make lunch, chances are you are gonna be checking back in at your monitor/tv now and you can jump or something to avoid the kick. Easy enough, some people just don't think things through. It is better for everyone in the short term.

    I just don't see how people who are eager to get in are going to be away long enough to miss a 1500 queue, plus 20 minutes on top of that to be removed from the world. Its so ridiculous. Half the population is AFK.

    Honestly, the queue system is bugged, I got in after I was 41st when I first was 44th. It needs to be fixed.

    Screw this guy.

    It's called being selfish. When you afk for 12 hours you're wasting space and denying other paying customers the opportunity to play. What do you lose during your afk activity? Nothing. Because you were never on.

    I imagine if there weren't so many AFKers the log in issues wouldn't be so extreme to begin with. I got on for an hour today and saw so many lifeless bodies it really pissed me off.
