Implement A AFK Lockout Mechanism

[Ozea]

Be Patient....
Only that we can do, i m sure Dev team also work hard for this problem.
Me also suffer the same pain, 1017 error.
And can't play for two days.
All game must be have some problem at the beginning.
So be patient if u truly love FF XIV, then it doesn't matter wait for 3 or 4 days.
I ve waiting for this game for years. So wait for couple days is not a problem.
(sry for my bad English) thanks

please put this in i see so many people afk for hours when i finally get to login.they in same spot for hours, when others could get in and have a chance to play without seing world full please try again later. getting to a point where the game is useless.

I disagree. I like not being AFK kicked if I want to go to the bathroom or get pulled away for a real life issue.

If you're worried about getting afk kicked because you're going to the bathroom, then a) the afk timer is too short, b) you have some serious bowel problems and should probably see a doctor, or c) you need to remove all of the reading material from your bathroom.

And if you're pulled away for a real-life issue that takes more than 10 minutes, just log back in when you're done.

Next?

They already said they'll implement an AFK kick mechanism AFTER the server issues are resolved.

disagree completely with an afk timer, didnt need it in 11, certainly dont need it here. absolutly 100% no.

ppl need to relax and calm down and realize in a short time this wont be an issue with the improvements se will be implementing and...the game will die down fast, just like every other game has in history.

they do need a reliable queue system until then though. the one they have now rarely ever kicks in.

This is a paid sub game, those paying should be able to be on the game for as long as they like AFK or not. They should just implement an OPTIONAL one like they had in FFXI, you can choose to disconnect if AFK for more than 30 mins or 60 mins or never, so those people that cares about AFK in-game can set themselves to be auto-kicked after a certain duration if no movement/actions and those that want to stay logged in, stay logged in.

Plus most of the problems is from too many people trying to login at the same time (NOT people already in the game). So if you have everyone auto-kick and then ALL those people try to log back in you're gonna have a bad time. That's the reason why you've been getting no queue # and will say it's full, because the queue was TOO LONG/FULL for concurrent connections so it just say world is full instead.

That's what I gathered from SE messages about the problems anyways or did I read it wrong?
