AFK'ers ARE THE PROBLEM

[Bahram]

Yeah, people get it. They rightly think it's a little offensive.

Wonder how long until this thread gets deleted?

[Medura]

the problem is the reason people go afk. Fix the problems, and people will stop going afk. Right now, if you log out for a second, you wont be able to get in for many hours, do you think people are willing to wait that long when they can just stay afk?

[Brises]

No, AFKers are not the problem. SE seriously underestimated the number of people who were interested in this game. It's their fault, and their responsibility to fix it. That being said, this is a temporary situation, and people aren't helping by being selfish. We are all going through this same thing. It well eventually be resolved. But people could be more considerate of each other rather than making the situation worse. I always log off when I'm done playing. yes I have a hard time logging back on. But I will accept my fair share of the problems out of consideration for others.

A good solution is to make logging out a lot better than being afk. Just remove or cap rested XP from Aetheryte sanctuaries, and make it so you only get the full bonus by logging out in an inn. You can even improve the rested XP to 100% in this case. While it won't get all the afk people off the servers, it will reduce their numbers by a lot. If the rested XP is enough to save them half of the number of FATEs they'll grind the next day, that would be great.

It should help with FATE overcrowding, which is ridiculous in places like Coerthas.

although both sides of the medal are true. SE is certainly at fault if you're telling me that I can't get in the game because people are in the server and not because they are physically playing but because if they log out they can't get back in. This is quite the problem. An AFK system should've been put in place. A proper system to see which servers are good to go into also I hate that you can't see what is the population of a server. Plus why do we create a character before choosing a world you don't even know if you can log on said world. Right now I'm stuck not being able to play just because some basic servers restriction should've been implemented

Not gonna lie though I saw that wednesday is supposed to bring change but if the same things happen after that I'm not going to subscribe to this game. I will pay for a game that I can reliably play on ONE character not make new ones on different servers because the one I choose gets full :S

I definitely don't agree with the level of aggression the OP displayed; uncalled for and just ignorant.

That said, AFKers need to realize that you *can* log back in if you log out. It may take some time, but c'mon now, you can wait like the rest of us. And if everyone would stop being so afraid of not being able to get back in, there'd be less congestion.

If you're an AFKer, I understand that you personally feel "Well no one else is gonna do it, so I won't either." But the problem is mostly everyone has that same mentality.

There's selfishness on both ends here. The AFKers are selfish because they refuse to give up any potential playtime by logging out at night to free up server space, and those who want to get in are selfish because they're dictating how others should act to meet their own wishes. The only difference with the latter is that their selfishness isn't impeding anyone.

Holy shit, you just managed to compare a video game to the Holocaust.

AFK'ers are certainly not the problem with this thread.

Considering you were the first one to use the term "concentration camp" in this thread I believe that distinction belongs to you great job.

The word "concentrate" has a million and one meanings that has nothing to do with camps yet you decided to go there. Excellent. A+. Then blame the OP for you reaching that conclusion A++.

[Warshaper]

Most of them seem to que up for a Duty as well since when it DOES manage to find a group, it usually goes through about 5 timeouts before finding somebody that's actually there and playing the game.

'Twas a historical allusion. I'm sorry that you didn't get that far in your education (what second grade?)...

Reported for griefing.
