If people didn't need to do this kind of crap they would not be trying to keep their character logged in.
I'm not sure if you understand, but this feature is pretty standard for mmos. And if it was implemented you wouldn't be spamming "zero" to get in nearly as long, if at all. Also a macro wouldn't do you any good, especially if you get put in queue, because your spamming would result in you hitting "cancel" on the queue message that pops up. Like others have stated though, its definitely a great temporary step if anything, it would definitely improve our ability to get in.

There may be some stress if you go to take a really long duke and come back and you have to try getting in the game again, but again it wouldn't take you nearly as long, so it would be worth it for everyone i believe.
The only thing this would hurt is people that have like materia or repair requests on their character, afk in town hoping someone will get it done for them. To that situation, SE could create a option to toggle the AFK off. It wouldn't be self defeating, the games I played that had it as a option was good for those that really needed it to be off. Others that didn't care, or didn't know any better it accomplished what it was meant to.
