Institute Temporary AFK Kick Timer

[Crica]

Auto-DC on AFK is common

FFXI does not auto DC on afk, nor has it ever, even when there were 2million subs in that game, and everyone was able to login always - its a server issue, SE needs to get bigger servers, that's all

This is why I suggested the AFK timer reset only on XP gain. Goodbye AFK's nice knowing you.

Easy enough: Load up your inventory with cheap mats, craft something with it before AFK timer would kick you.

AFK timers will never be a solution, there hasn't been one in MMO history that couldn't be circumvented within 1 or 2 minutes of setting stuff up to do it. I'd rather spent 1 or 2 minutes setting it up than face a whole evening trying to login..

And I'm sure if that if any of those cross the line into botting you will get penalized for it. That being said, I wouldn't call it the one and only solution, but part of a bigger solution involving improved server infrastructure and more servers as a last resort.

How do I cancel my sub on this POS game made by incompetent programmers ?

This obviously isn't the place for you to rage. Perhaps you could use the search function and figure it out for yourself.

Help her out. Less weeds to sort through to log on.

Why not just restart the servers every 12 hours or so, during off peak hours? Dont wanna do it during peak hours because it would obviously cause congestion issues and possibly make things worse, but during off hours it shouldnt be a big deal. That would get rid of any AFK'ers/botters, and allow others a chance to actually get into the game if they are lucky enough to be trying to get on when the restart takes place. Maybe im missing it, but i dont see where this would cause any issues.

If you're botting/afk you arent gonna be trying to log back on when the servers come back up, and if you were in game, then you go get a drink/food/bio and wait 10-15 min or so and log back in. Only thing i really see being affected is maybe groups running instances, but that can be partially avoided with a pre-reset warning ahead of time.
