An AFK logout needs to be implemented as quickly as one of the devs can type the code for it. For whatever reason, it was decided that players should be allowed to AFK 24 hours a day. I understand that it's for having a player shop and I'm fine with that but right now this AFK problem is massive and it's killing the launch. People can't play with friends, can't join their guild's server. There are people that have been trying to log on since early access with no luck. A major factor in this debacle are the thousands of zombies hanging out by the aetheryte plazas.

There is no telling how long this fiasco will continue while waiting for servers to be installed, configured, and debugged...but what we do know is that these people will continue to AFK for hours as long as they aren't forced off the servers.

An AFK logout timer need only be a temporary addition to the game...but during this time of horrendous login and character creation restrictions it is definitely necessary.
