It's time to implement AFK Kicks

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 spend more time spamming the login server than I do spamming Bootshine on Little ladybugs.

Last week, it seemed as if even though there were login restrictions, if you were in a PT and got disconnected you were prioritized. That seems to be gone as well.

I spent about 1 hour trying to get in-game. Managed to get into a PT for 15 minutes before getting disconnected and have spent another 45 minutes trying to get back on. I get queued sometimes and then after 30 seconds am told that the world is full anyway.

I do appreciate that SE is working on a fix... and maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way... but it seems like they are saying "Hey, we are going to add more worlds to alleviate some of this congestion." That's great and all, but does that mean if I want to get on a server with little-to-no login restrictions that I have to reroll?

And another thing, this queue thing makes next to no sense. I get queued. Then my wife tries to login and bypasses the queue entirely. How does that work?

45 min trying to get in is crazy..

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.
