Institute Temporary AFK Kick Timer

[jay4]

I don't have a problem with being kicked after maybe 30 minutes, but please only if it is needed (like when the server is full). In a month this problem will probably not exist anymore and then I don't see why we should be kicked for being AFK.

While I support this, I know it won't do much. people can easily bypass this using scripts to have your toon take a step every hour or whatever. Sucks but, let's just wait it out haha. I'm the dude that logs off when he's done, so I feel your pain.

In my opinion and i could be wrong.. but after the response they gave in this thread im starting to believe they have an agenda....

This agenda being what we've im sure have all read about them breaking records for the most concurrent people logged in. What does this mean? Well this means the most people logged in at the same time at any given time so... by allowing people to stay in game because they are worried they wont be able to get back they are able to "PAD" the numbers. I see cities of people using /sit at chairs to go afk all day/night. And in a recent review they were hoping to hit the 200,000 mark that is why they will not introduce something until sometime after next weeks 'server fix'.

There is absolutely no reason to be ok with people idling on a game and not playing it when other paying customers are trying to get on, especially after Producer posted that these limits were to make it fair for those who were playing to be able to play a stable game. WHERE IS IT FAIR THAT YOU CANT GET IN BECAUSE SOMEONE ISNT ACTUALLY PLAYING AND TAKING UP SPOTS

If they really want to go through that much trouble, let them.
Most of the playerbase wouldn't be so obsessed with staying on and doing nothing.

I've never understood why people do this, aside from having a bazaar feature like in FFXI, but I've also never seen it as an issue. I understand that it's an issue at the moment, but wait until the server limitations are increased before complaining about this sort of thing. Congestion issues have only gotten better and better since the start from my experience.

I can't believe so many people are clamoring to make the game worse over a temporary problem. No, wait, I can.

Hopefully temporary. And how is an AFK kicker worse?

It gets rid of players who aren't doing anything but hogging game space. There is no reason to be away for more than 30 minutes and still be on. What could you possibly be doing in the game by just standing still for hours?

No. Seriously.
Why do you need to be on for over an hour doing nothing but taking up space? It's not like you can't just log back on again because, good news, there will be room and a functioning que system.

I think thats none of your business, people pay for that "space". I know it sucks that people cant log but that hardly is the problem of other people and I don't see why they have to suffer.

Thats great and all, but everyone else trying to log in paying for that "space" too - space which they cannot use.
