Too many idle players

[ansielf]

I agree! Please bump this.

It is a totally acceptable procedure to automatically log out people who have been idle for > 15 minutes.

People will just go to an inn room and run into a wall or "follow" a moving NPC. This method would probably only open up a few spots and those would be taken quickly. I don't see it as being the right way to handle this, if we were going to stop idlers we would have to kick EVERYONE off the servers every few hours, and I don't think anyone would like that much..

Fix the machines and software and what have you..afk timer is useless IMO.

You know where they could better spend their time? fixing the queue, at least then we wouldn't be fighting to get in. I can spam the login for 8 hours and OTHER people get lucky and only spam it once or twice.

Talk about unfair.

We would all be a lot less upset if we only had to wait for 30 minutes, or if we at least saw how many other poor souls were waiting ahead of us and for how long. We aren't nearly as special or unique as we like to think we are. Everyone that comments here merely represents the 0.001% of the player base raging hard enough to come and post on the forums about it.

Regardless of any idle timers, the queues need to be fixed. Maybe after upgrades on Wednesday they'll be working as intended for a change?

Actually a 'properly' functioning queue functionality would do everyone a lot of good... Pressing start, selecting the character, logging in only to get a message that brings you back to the main menu is a giant pain. This game has much potential but is most certainly suffering from a lot of small usability flaws. I'd be less inclined to even be posting right now if I could see I was number 1029102 in line to get on your servers. I've seen a queue message popup maybe ONCE but i have no idea why its not available all the time...
