    You guys realize they already said they are actively looking into creating an AFK timer, right?

    The only problem is that it would take longer to program an AFK timer than to optimize duty finder and increase the number of servers.

    It's not as hard of a task as you make it sound *and*, they should actually get to work on it rather than consider getting to work on it.

    Really? Maybe optimizing duty finder is even easier. Maybe that will fix the problem. I work on servers for a living, so I'm all for throwing more servers at the problem. Sorry for being biased.

    There's also that small detail that kicking AFK players from the world will not help stabilize the instance servers. The entire reason they are manually restricting logins (1017).

    If anything it will make them need to make the restriction even lower to counter balance it.

    Cool. We have something in common.

    A tool to auto-kick afk people can be entirely client-side. There are ways to get around such a thing but most players wouldn't have the know-how or desire.

    At the moment, nobody logs out because nobody else logs out. Nobody wants to put up with the login issues.

    I say that while I put up with the login issues each day because I shut down my PC when I'm not using it.
