AFK kick any time soon?

people will start logging out when they know they will be able to get back in without trying for 5 hours with no success

Ya like i said given the circumstances..u cant really b mad at people doin the only thing possible to ensure being able to play. Sucks for the rest offline but the real blame is soley in squares lap cause i guess 4 beta phases wasnt enough

My wife has been logged in for some 18 hours now and played maybe 3 of them.
And guess what? I tell here to leave it logged in so she doesn't have to go through 1017 bullshit when she gets a few hours to play.

I'll admit, this is my first Final Fantasy MMO-- so I wasn't aware AFK kicks weren't a "thing" here.

XI does actually have an idle kick timer, but its controlled by the player so most people set it to "never" and then forget about it until the next time they log in on a different computer and their bazaar gets kicked. I've had afk kicks in pay to play mmos before and if necessary I would not mind one in this one (although when I'm going to be gone from my computer for more than an hour right now, I do log out). Like others have said, its something they are going to examine after the new servers are up next week and they've had some time to monitor them.

other MMOs with AFK kick tend to be free to play or pay for items... there never was (and hope never will be) an AFK kick in FF games. It spoils the submersion if you have to be paranoid of a timer instead of relaxing and RPing.

How few mmos have you played if you think only ony f2p games have afk kick?

EVERY proper P2P MMO have had AFK kick

AFK players are a problem together with the bots and have to be fixed.

It's not a priority but they did say that after solving the new server issue in the following week, and completely addressing the problem they will look into such a feature afterwards. There are no guarantees though.

In others words, nope. I'm sure when things come down from a boil that we will need not such a feature, but right now we do lol, badly.

Buy a game, can't play it because of thousands of AFK players fuckin' standing around taking up spaces I and others could be using for actually playing.

Ya theres really no logic to it...and the only people like openly against it have probably been signed on since like a week ago haha

I have nothing against AFK players when there isn't a problem regarding those who want to enter and play.

But its dumb to let ppl stay in the game for more than 24 hours just to "hold a spot". If everybody thinks this way, NO ONE ever will log in. Yeah, it sucks to have queue and stuff, but you know what sucks even more? You wait 4 hours trying to log in, you get in, start to gather something or switch map and get a random disconnect.
