It's time to implement AFK Kicks

[AlienWacKo]

isnt it considered exploiting when they stay logged in aka afk inorder to prevent from getting locked out like all the rest of us honest and respectfull patrons?
i hope all these afkers wont beable to login for the same amount of time they were exploiting !!

no, an exploit is taking advantage of a bug or other programming errors etc. considering the having no AFK disconnect was a design decision as it sits currently there is nothing wrong in SE eyes for someone to be AFK 24/7

It is a good idea!

As others have said in this thread, this should have been done from the getgo. I can only get past the damned login very late at night/early morning Eastern Time and when I do, I see tons of people usually near quest hubs never moving the entire time I'm playing, If they can't get the AFK boots in, then they need GMs cruising these areas every 20 or 30 minutes..when they see the same person standing in the same spot twice, they get kicked.

But that'd help solve the problem. Forget I said anything. *tries to login for the 350th time today* *shocked world is still full*.

I've been trying to get in for over 5 hours now. It just isn't happening. One curious thing I noticed, if you sit at char select for a few minutes..something like 10...then try to log in...you get the loading screen for like 15-20 seconds...it fills you with hope and then BAM the same 1017 window comes up..made me laugh the first few times, now it's just expected.

Yes they need to auto kick people after 15 minutes of idle time. And if someone is caught using a macro or third party program to get around the afk kick then their account should be banned for 24 hours first offense, 7 days second and permanent on the third.

I knew this was going to be a problem before it began when I found out that there was no AFK kicks. It is 5am right now where I am and the JP servers are still full.... They don't even have a working queue system, I don't even understand how it works, sometimes you get in the queue and most of the time you don't.

The thing that annoys me most is the part of 1017 that says to wait for an opening. How the fuck am i supposed to wait for an opening if I dont know if there is an opening!?!? Seriously, what a dick message, lets tell you to wait for non-disclosed opening by sitting infront of the login screen spamming numpad 0. You can't even schedule the rest of you time because you have NO IDEA WHEN YOU CAN LOG IN.
