Why won't you implement an Auto-Kicker?

This isn't XI - it Needs a kicker. ... I am guessing about 60% of the population actually AFK's for long periods of time, causing the congestion and 1017 issues for the rest of us. The longer it goes, the more that do it - why? "oh man, I don't want to NOT be able to play, I better just stay logged in!"

I mentioned FFXI because someone said all MMOs had them, and that one didn't, not even during its height of popularity.

You (and I) can only guess about the number of AFK. When SE brought worlds up after a maintenance they would be showing 1017 within minutes. Do you really think 2500 AFK people (~60%) per world had auto-relaunch/relogin scripts to accomplish that?

I still think, and maybe you even just admitted, that when people aren't afraid of not being able to log in, the AFK problem will pretty much solve itself. For the rest, SE may have its "kicker" in place by then.

great now it seems the NA/EU world list won't load , then when it does, amazingly nothing changes.

Lol the support for AFK kicker has increased about 10fold in the last day.



nearly 1000 players were AFK in the 'starting zones' around the Aether shards, that's a lot of slots that COULD be used!
