Is it really asking too much

[Rurushan]

Why oh why does everything get compared to WoW. Personally I despise the game and couldn't stand playing it despite someone offering to pay the sub. How about we skip trying to turn this into wow and move toward something DIFFERENT than that PoS game :P

Nobody was trying to turn this into WoW... he simply used WoW as an example for what is a basic necessity of ANY MMO. You need to calm your tits. You hate a video game, thats cool. Relax.

for like a day then the mass majority of the people will find a way to stay logged in. the people that are staying logged in are the same type of people that would circumvent the afk timer with a 2 second to make macro. Simple at this point all of these things are not needed because the issue will be fixed in 2 days.

First of all, your argument that an AFK system would not stop 'most' players from AFKing still implies that it would help prevent at least SOME people... for a system that does not hurt the game in any conceivable way.

Second of all, you're wrong. Straight up. You really do give the general public too much credit. 'Most' is really overshooting it.

Finally, it's not just an AFK timer we need. A login queue will mean that players can login without having to actively gamble at it for extended periods of time. As long as the player is guaranteed to get in eventually, there's no need to AFK to ensure that spot anymore, and an AFK kick timer ensures the queue keeps moving. MMO 101.
