If you're AFKing for more than 30 mins, or on a potty break for as long, you obviously don't need your character logged into the world. If you're AFK while quick synthesizing crafting, that's great! Your character is being productive and accomplishing something. Logging out characters who are inactive for longer than 30 minutes prevents a lot of these issues. It's also friendlier than dropping servers every night as folks can be mid-dungeon run, etc.
