AFK players isn't the issue. I know I hate to get caught up in RL for more than 20 minutes to find that I have been kicked from a game and without properly logging out it doesn't save changes. The issue is failing to have what-if procedures in place. This was try number 2 for FFXIV and therefore there is no excuse. I will continue to play regardless, however; I am sad that this will discourage many players from ever playing before ever given the chance. Many players base their game decisions on game reviews and right now the reviews have mixed feelings. The game is great but the lack of preparation for a second launch is ridiculous. ALSO, how about all the gil spammers taking up spots that everyone seems to forget about? How hard would it be pay a few employees to moderate in-server?? Seriously, log on for 1 minute see the 5 gil spammers and ban their account / credit card. They are unable to create new characters atm and yet I keep seeing new names spamming.
