It's time to implement AFK Kicks

2 wrongs don't make a right though

its not a wrong that people are not logging out cause they wont be able to get back in because they want to be able to play the game for which they paid for and want to get the moneys worth...it sucks to other people don't get me wrong but I don't blame them one bit..

It is wrong because they are the reason it is so bad. If they were logging out the congestion wouldn't be this bad.

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.

This would be fine, if it wasnt the most time consuming/expensive course of action. Bandaid fix, afk kick, and/or a more accurate queue is all they need right now to fix 90% of the complaints. If I seen a queue timer I would sit in queue and not complain. Its the not knowing and lack of communication thats the killer.

Agreed. This was working earlier this morning, but now spamming the login screen is rediculous.

They need to reboot the servers peeps are making the game unplayable for others.

I do. The AFKers are choosing to stay in and not logging out to let other people play the game while there off doing something else. This is called greed. These people are being greedy. Their thoughts are "who cares if others can't get into the game when I'm not playing if I don't log out" Their parents obviously never taught them the concept of sharing.
