Most games log out idle player so I do agree with the need to do this.

That being said, I don't believe this is the sole problem with the servers. When we get Lobby Server errors, World full errors and missing world server lists there is more going on than just idle players. Lobby Server errors cause people to log in over and over again by bringing up the application and re-entering id's and password(s). The World full error cause people to click on the Start link over and over and each time there is a process that has to go out and check the world servers. When the lists are empty the same thing has as to the World full error. I've been in the queue once today then kicked out with a World full error. The network/processing traffic from all of these issues including the idle players and the ability to handle it is real problem.

I wish we'd get a notification from SE regarding the issue. All I'm seeing this morning is news about the JP servers not the NA/EU servers.
