AFK Kick Timer

[Wren_Fuoren]

a lot of people go semi afk while they wait for a queue in the duty to pop. I have multiple monitors i watch netflix or something while i wait for it to pop. If they put an afk timer hell yes i would put a macro to auto jump me while i waited for the duty to pop.

your queue won't take more than 2 hours. what about the people who would do it for 3, 4, 5 or even 6 hours? Yes they can be detected, quite easily. GM's are not server admins, they are Game Masters, paid to sit in game and deal with AFK bots (of the half a day kind), gold sellers and player harassment. They don't do squat with server hardware as you seem to think they do.

Still developing and implementing the Afk timer would take away from resources that could be spent on the new upgrades. It takes more hten just hardware to complete this process. You need internal testing of stability of the new servers. All this takes man power. No sense wasting the time building an afk timer boot system. This would have to be completely programed on their platform for the game from scratch... it probably at this point wouldnt even be ready to be implemented let alone tested before the hardware upgrades would be in place.

Which according to their posts is just new worlds. Will do nothing for those of us on full worlds already (unless people move, also unlikely if they are playing with a group of friends as many are).

/sigh

When will you understand, we are FOR the server upgrades, but we want the AFK kick implemented too, not just considered for implementation.

Why are you even arguing? We agree that both need to be implemented.
