Point is: an AFK timer is an all-around bad idea in the long-run. Maybe for now while we are having login issues. I'm willing to meet you half-way there. But in the end, I would be severly disappointed if a game I paid to have access to kicked me from the world for no reason other than I'm not currently in front of my screen.

FFXI is a prime example. I had an alt on a laptop that would sit there for literally days (usually running my bazaar). I expect no less here.
That's the point, XI HAS a bazaar system. XIV does not. Erego? You don't NEED to be logged in 24/7. There is no benefit to it except reserving you a spot ingame that would be better given to someone else whom would actually play.

This game has no rare spawns. There is nothing to camp, no shops you have to manage yourself. In fact, staying logged in will actually only hurt you since you won't get rested EXP.

Wanting to stay logged in knowing all that? Only makes you a selfish prick.
