While I understand the reasoning behind implementing a AFK kicker, I don't see a need for it now. Most of the issues have been alleviated with this recent update and shouldn't cause much of problem if people AFK. Now I'm not promoting the idea, and I do agree that people who stay logged in for over 12hrs is really silly.

But I don't see the wrong in doing so when you go to sleep or just leaving for work, since you'll be returning to the game within 6-7hrs later. I don't see the harm in that.

Anyway, they really should wait until after the payment period starts until they do so. And I hope this measure is temporary.
