AFK timers, where is the queue

[Austin]

Could you please elaborate on why it wouldn't solve anything? The only thing i can think of is macroing running into a wall repeatedly as to not get afk'ed if they were to implement it. .

-- so everyone gets booted after lets just say 20 mins.... then you have to log back in clogging up the log in server (not guaranteed but there would be a hell of a lot more people trying to log in when the server is still full casuing a backlash -- again not saying 100% would happen but its def a possibility

-- ruins immersion, its cool to be able to just come back and still be there check my messages, crafting, AH etc etc.. most won't understand this but for people who play socially and for hardcore, an afk boot would suck

what if someone wants to message me online and i got booted because i was afk. It takes away that life of in-game

plus there is a workaround for the situation thats going on, if you're smart you'll figure it out and why less and less people are complaining about it

I'm sorry, but none of what you stated, in my opinion, is anywhere remotely a good enough reason to lock out THOUSANDS of players if not a whole lot more than that. The workaround of macroing the 0 key and spamming is considered automation and i will not risk a ban. I refuse to roll on JP servers. There should be no need to.

I agree with an AFK timer being put in place, 90% of the paid and free games I have played kick you after 15 min, if your legitimately waiting for an instance go work on your DoH, DoL or your Jobs required secondary class while you wait there is so much to do in this game while you wait for something. But these people sitting there taking up space is ruining what could be a good game, sure SE needs to move beyond a max queue of 250 and needs to lift these login limits if they truly want to test and fix the servers but for the time being people should be considerate to their fellow gamer and log off when not active and SE should introduce an AFK Kick policy

AFK timers are a good idea, however they should not apply if the player is in duty finder.

If you're AFK, you're not playing, just wasting a slot. There is no point in being AFK as far as the games structure or function are concerned. You can't sell stuff directly from your character, there's no achievements for not doing anything, and no one really cares what you look like.
There's no practical use beyond the fear of 1017 when they try to get back in, which is ironically fueled by the very people who AFK.

no way... i pay, i should be able to stay on no matter how long i'm afk.

People like you are a huge part of the problem. You know who else pays? People that can't play the game because you're logged in all night while you sleep, or all day while at work.

Seriously, if you afk so long that the game logs you out, oh I dunno... log back in? I know, mind blowing. It shouldn't be an issue without people taking up space while not even playing.

I do not see why those waiting on the duty finder should be allowed to be afk, if you're going for an instance make sure your available, not keeping everyone waiting, there's plenty to do while waiting.

I fully support an afk kick, 30 mins should do and is reasonable.

Stop treating NA/EU players like high school students. You know you can go afk in JP servers whenever you want, right?
