Question is in the Title.

Seriously, would they matter at all? If there were no issues with 1017 or the like and no log-in issues, would you be concerned that someone who is paying/paid the same price of admission is spending the game AFK'ing? Because seriously I would not care; and really, I am not concerned currently.

Personally, I understand why people do so now. I think it sucks if you are trying to get in, but if and when the log-in/server issues are rectified, it will not and should not matter if someone goes AFK over night, or for days at a time if they so choose.

All MMO-raging aside, the world is not really fair, games/mmos mimic this. Why is that surprising to people? We as players just deal with the hands we are dealt, it doesn't make sense to get spun up over this in my opinion.
