Remove auto-logout feature

[Vejjiegirl]

A band-aid fix or a diversion for the actual issue that is simply SE's explicit refusal to invest in larger server capacity. AFKers like myself, who learned the hard way of the pains of logging back in, will simply find ways to stay logged in during prime hours. Simplest of which is hold W down.

What are you talking about, people wanted this so SE gave it to us.
They already fixed the servers like 2 weeks ago.

Excalibur is still full and not accepting new characters...which means my daughters still cannot join me there. I am hoping that the AFK-Kick helps to open Excali and other "Full" worlds to new characters. If it does not then I am hoping the World Transfers will allow us to finally play together.

However my own personal situation gets resolved though, I am in favor of the Auto-Kick Timer to help with server loads and Lag in the Sanctuaries (where it seems alot of peeps afk).

Really? In this day and age? I guess my expectations for SE are too high.

Edit: Whiners whining about whiners and so oblivious to the facts.

There's irony in your edit, sir. You're whining about a feature whiners wanted. So technically you're whining about whiners whining.

A lot of games have afk kick. What the hell does it matter? What advantage is there to sitting there afk? Duty finder I can understand wanting changed so it isn't an issue, but damn, some people just want to sit afk. Why?

Auto-logout is Brilliant. It keeps our servers free of people clogging it up for no reason. As there are no bazaars etc. Also, epeeners who want to sit in a city with their leet gear on? Gimme a break!

The servers will run smoother and be better for afk'ers not being on them.

You know, I find myself incapable of understanding that behavior. I see lots of people that just hang around, in the middle of main thoroughfares, in active mode, bouncing up and down with their supposedly leet gear.

Wonder if any of them would explain that behavior to me if I asked..... Anyone?

It's simple. They're just showing off. They want people to see their stuff and think "I wish I had that."

They're selling digital copies of the gam again. Which means more people joining. They've increased the server capacity but unless they keep this afk-boot feature, soon we will have the login issues again even after they add new servers. And, serious, if you're going to be away for more than 30min, you could as well just leave the game and let your pc cool down a bit.

You're correct. If we have login issues, that's because they are letting more people join. Its not like there's all of a sudden 1000 open slots on the server because the AFKs are gone.

This solution was a placebo.

The slots are simply taken up by more active players - if you didn't notice they just opened up all NA/EU server to Character Creation. Why? Because there's tons of open slots now! So we still get queues because now there are more actives than ever. Auto-logout doesn't fix anything it just shifts the problem.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.
