Institute Temporary AFK Kick Timer

It's not just a "short term" solution. It will also help those with lag issues since their graphics card won't have to render a hundred characters standing in the middle of Ul'dah with their thumbs up their butts.

I totally agree that we need an auto afk-kick with a 30 minute timer. Most MMO's have it and it doesn't disrupt gameplay at all, except maybe for the person afk for 45 minutes cuz they ate too much Taco Bell I guess. *shrug*

It is a short time solution and there's no guarantee when those of you who want to kick everyone out of the game will actually get in before someone else lol. There's no way to know if someone is AFK unless you're standing there and observing each and every person playing - in order to do so you have to be on the game and by then why would you care? A lot of people go AFK while seeking in the duty finder because as said, unless you're a Tank or Healer the wait times are either 5 minutes or as long as 3 hours.

Tell that to the other MMO's out there. In WoW for example, after 5 minutes of being idle, you go "afk". After 30 minutes of "afk" status, the game logs you out. Sorry, but if you're going to be afk for longer than 30 minutes, you really shouldn't be logged in the game anyways. Let people in that actually WANT to play the game and not just stand there herp derping.
