    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.
