This is what I think!

I say it would work because the amount of people that go to school, go to work, and others things is higher than you might imagine. People have to make a living to play right? I mean not atm, but soon? So, they alleviate the problem by staying logged in till they get home, and yes SE knows this. I know so many people that do this, so they can get right on the game soon as they get home which in my book is bullshit!

But since a large percent would actually be playing at the same time......it wouldn't help as much as you think.
The only times today when I have managed to successfully log in was early morning.

It's got a lot to do with timeframes.

Also.....there are a lot of people who have bought it but have yet to be able to make even a single character yet because of the restrictions.
Auto-logout for AFK would not alleviate the issue on it's own. It IS needed. But the problem is on too large a scale for that to fix everything on it's own.

Well you see my friend, I think it would because we live in pst, cst, est, meaning that most people in the U.S. of A of the early morning hours will be at work or school. So, why not kick those that are logged in that think they will get to play once they get home. Yes, I know EU will be on as well, but I'm pretty sure most of them, at this time will be getting their tea and crumpets and chitter chattering. "By golly, its time for my tea!"

However that would only help for just at that time. It won't have as much of an impact for the large number who try to play at peak times which happen to be the same for all of them.

Putting a hole in a bucket won't help if there's still water being poured on top. You need to get a bigger bucket to hold the water.
