Why won't you implement an Auto-Kicker?

So is anything going to be done about this crap? I'm sick of trying to log in for 2 hours straight. Whenever I get in - regardless of what a crap it is to get back in, I always log out before going to bed/work. It is the considerate and right thing to do - but try telling that to other immature kids. Yeah maybe i'd leave my comp on all night too if I didn't have to pay my own bills LOL. What can you do, yes it's squares fault but it's also the peoples fault for not being considerate, you don't get this crap afk in WoW. Cities are so packed of people doing absolutely nothing.

Even WoW, where most servers are only at 50% capacity has an AFK timer of about 30 minutes. It really isn't rocket science. Having no AFK timer is so ridiculous, it is almost like it is intentional. How could it not be? It is like forgetting your own name, or forgetting to breathe. These people design MMOs right? They are programmers no?

LOL

AFK kickers have existed since MMO's began popularity, years ago. SE's failure to include one either is showing just how unprofessional they have become, or how ignorant the new staff is.

I've been trying since 6:30 AM EDT to log in. There is no longer a peak period of time when people are playing. The servers are at capacity 24/7 it would seem.

I'm giving SE no more than another week to completely resolve this or I'm canceling my sub. For the rest of you, I'd say that's one less person to worry about trying to get a server slot....but since I can't get in anyway it's pretty much inconsequential.

That maint. doesn't say anything about helping already-over-populated servers, and chances are they won't be "increasing the slot size" either - they are trying to get players to join other servers (hence the addition of new servers) - but this won't help already-congested servers unless players are willing to start all over. (I .. don't want to, I know many others share this feeling.)

Being as such, as soon as the maint. ends - it's going to be a rush to log in -because once they fill again - they won't be emptying out anytime soon.
