Just need to have patience, you can't just magically code an afk kick feature in seconds. It takes time.
I have to admit, I giggled at his posts. While they were crude n' rude, he's just being the martyr in a way. His frustrated cussings are really just the anthem of the rage we all feel when we stare at our monitors and slam 0 like we just used our MNK's 2HR. For 30 minutes. Don't deny it. After >10 minutes of 1017 and beyond, you got pretty damn frustrated.

But I won't be the one to bring that frustration here, and neither will you. But we both feel it, don't deny it. And while many people aren't experiencing 1017 anymore, many still are. And you remember how it was. You understand.

In all honesty, they should have had scaling servers to begin with. Think of it as an overflow tank. When one or more servers experience maximum capacity, there can be a rack that takes the load so people can still login. Also, admit it, the queue should not be the way it is. It's a poor way to handle it, they are shooting themselves in the foot. Who cares if the queue reaches the thousands? I can watch my damn movie and get some damn coffee. None of this fighting with tooth and nail for my place in line. Watch out fellow 1017'ers, I carry a KBAR. Get out of my way.

As for the AFK timer? Yeah, they didn't plan for that and it's reasonable that they didn't because there's some controversy over the use of one in the first place. But everything else after more of a decade of their experience with FFXI? There is just no excuse.
