Its better to have something and not need it (yet) than to need it and not have it. It prevents it in the first place. What if more 1.0 people come back to Excalibur and at some point after servers are unlocked they become full again with additional sales. You honestly just never know. Besides if they code it anything like the FFXI one, there can be an option to disable it. Obviously the option to disable it will only be accessible at the Devs discretion though.

the afk timer is going to help not only with afkers obvious but also with the 90k 10102 3102 errors after i got 90kd last night trying to get into a dungeon i got 3102 an then the 10102 trying to reconnect both the 3102 and 10102 seem to coincide with the users client being disconnected but the character not being logged out figured this out after a bud in game told me i was still seen as being logged in i had to wait about 30 min for the server to finally figure out the client was disconnected if we had an afk timer i would have had to just wait for the afk timer to kick me instead of waiting for the server to sort it out.

He said that they expected more players with PS4 launch, and that they're going to unlock digital sales(even if just in limited quantity). That means more players, more server issues, and more people staying logged in. AFK Kickers are in most MMOs, as well they should be. Even if there isn't a big login issue you prevent it with AFK kickers, or at least help with it.

I don't understand why it's so difficult for some people to simply log out, and then log in again when they are ready to play... It takes less than 2 minutes.

I log out everytime and take my chances, but I understand why some people don't. My roommate has had 90k and 3102 almost nonestop since phase 4. He gets out of work during peak times so it's hard for him to get on when he's free. So I just log him in an hour before, when I get home lol. But even yesterday he was kicked out with 90k and 3102 getting in twice so there's still issues with some players.
