I'm all for AFK kickers as well, but I sort of doubt it would solve the big problem. It might not even have much of an effect at all.

Every server is optimized/intended to support about 5k simultaneous connections; but, as that's spread around a large area and not everyone plays simultaneously, SE allows 20k+ people to sign up for each server. In some cases, like 28k+.

So, if you have 5k people on the server, and 2k are AFK at any one time, and you have 2-3k people trying to get in simultaneously when the servers are full... there are still going to be wait times and queues. I think if they put in an AFK kicker and people still couldn't log in, it would look pretty bad.

That being the case, I still want one, because A)it makes sense, and B) f' those guys who sit there all day and take up space!

Edited:

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.
This is idiotic, they absolutely do have the right to do this - they control the servers, you don't, read the ToS. Many if not most MMOs have AFK kickers. And what more, they aren't telling you HOW to play, they are telling you to log off if you're NOT playing!!!

Selfish kids just, kill me.
