Suggestion to make it easier to log in

[Shenoba]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it, but feel free to move to the right section if not.

Currently I see loads of people in chat saying that they never log out from the game because they don't want to get in the queue again at a later moment.
This causes the world being and staying full, which makes it hard for others to log in at certain hours.

I've seen this sollution in other games, and I think it would help here too.
Make people disconnect after 30 minutes of being afk instead of keeping them being able to camp the server 24/7 so everyone who wants to play, can play.

Please implement this, or a similar sollution, so everyone is happy

Greetings Shenoba

They've already stated that they will add a log out timer as soon as they up the capacity of their servers. It probably should have been there from the start but it's likely it wouldn't have solved all the problems being encountered anyway. A lot of it has to do with the low server capacity etc.

Resolving AFK Character Issues

From several users on some of our more congested Worlds, we have received requests for a feature which automatically logs out characters who are AFK for an extended period of time. We are actively looking into the implementation of such a feature, but have decided to first concentrate our efforts on increasing the number of Worlds and optimizing the Duty Finder servers.

I see a lot of gold spammers too already, they take a lot of login spaces too if you ask me.
Is there no way too get them away??

World increasing, ye that makes sense. But why optimizing the Duty finder service first before prioritizing the login issues. This will cause a lot of irritation and can lead to early quitting of people. We just want to play, make ingame issues better after that.

Yeah, I don't really agree with the decision to wait on the idle kick, but whatever. At least they're (apparently) working on the server issues - which I hope works, because if it doesn't, that is I will add my voice to all the people asking for an idle kick. Idle kick systems aren't infallible, but it can't hurt.

It's not that I mind people being afk, hey I am sometimes too afk to do the dishes inbetween. But it goes too far that people say they never log out. Those are the ones preventing others to play, and that's what I have trouble with.

Yes, this exactly. A few times I have left myself logged in while I change clothes, or go grab takeout from the dining hall downstairs, or even take a quick shower. It's people who leave themselves idle for hours so that they don't have to try to log back in later that is frustrating. I understand where they are coming from, but it's hardly fair to the rest of us. I'm not doing it myself both because I feel it isn't fair, and because I don't want to put that kind of stress on my laptop. My last hard drive (less than a year old) bricked just a month ago and I had to replace it, so I'm especially cautious now about leaving it on when I'm not using it.

They could implement a modbot of their own that detects that crap and Permabans their account immediately. just anything talking consecutively about real world money gets permabanned. Easy Solution, implemented yet? not really.
