Institute Temporary AFK Kick Timer

+1 agree and bumping since i posted the same thing and it seemed to get lost.

LOL @ the "entitlement" response. Hope you dont think thats how real life is. The world outside of your moms basement is quite different.

SE please spend your time fixing the server problems so logging in will work fine instead of wasting your time implementing this useless solution.

A fair way to discourage AFK without kicking:

Only accumulate rested EXP bonus while the character is logged out.

Look around Eorzea and notice where all the idle characters are standing around. Most of them are either in a sanctuary gathered near the aetheryte crystal or in an inn room where you can't see them. They are resting there so they can accumulate a rested EXP bonus and not get aggro'd while their players are out shopping for orange juice.

If you eliminate or reduce the rested bonus for characters who are logged in, it will reward those who log out of the Worlds when they are not playing.

It is a fair tradeoff: you can stay logged in to avoid 1017 and not receive any EXP bonus, or you can log out at the inn and level faster once you are able to log back in.

Exactly. Totally agree.

[Vallenthalas]

Agreed, this is something desperately needed to help with server issues.

[seikenflash]

I disagree

I can't stand the ignorant people in here advocating for people to be able to stay in the game 24/7 afk. Seriously? If you aren't playing then you should be kicked out of the server. If you are going to just stand there all day, you aren't doing anything but wasting server resources and making everybody's game slower. Not to mention you are taking up a slot that someone who want's to actually play can't use.

Quit being stupid. If you aren't going to actually play then you have no reason to be in the game.

15 minutes is more than enough time for an AFK kick timer. If you get kicked and still want to play then you can log back in. In the meantime it will fix the congestion issues and allow everybody to actually play the game.

They are never going to implement an AFK boot because people PAY for this game.....I do not nor do I think anyone else has the right to try and tell me how and when to play the game I paid for. If FTP games want to implement that fine, because people are NOT paying for those.

That's fucking selfish. I'm having the goddamn ERROR 1017 right now just because the server are 'full'. The servers are litterally destroyed by AFK'ers because the server cannot take enough spaces.
