Remove auto-logout feature

That goes both ways. There's no reason to have an afk kick anymore either.

It was a permanent solution to a temporary problem. That's the problem.

Dense much? Prime time on a big server there are still queue lines. While some AFKers are selfish enough to go the extra mile and develop a work around, it kicks most of them off, which frees up space. The servers aren't massive and keeping the trash afkers off is always a positive thing.

Try getting over yourselves and accept this is how its going to be. There are no good reasons to be logged in all day. Buncha brats.

What boggles me is these people that make the arguement of "I want to go back and
read my FC chat after my 5 hour movie/dinner event."

You really think you are going to be able to scroll back and look at 5-hours worth of
FC chat? Unless your FC is extremely quiet, good luck. Second, if you are that
obsessed/paranoid that you need to read every sentence of your FC chat then
you might want to re-evaluate your decision to play an MMO. They aren't talking
bad about you, I promise.

I figured out a way around it:
Go to the nearest exclamation mark, click on the npc and get the accept/decline box to pop up, then go afk and you won't get booted.

Sounds like the REAL problem was them allowing too many people create characters on servers. Why allow these characters to be made if they know the limit? It's ridiculous.

Over the weekend, I was getting a que every time I logged on. The most I had in que was 12, and I always got on within a couple minutes. But that means that at least Leviathan was at max capacity. If the server was full of people AFKing for hours, I probably wouldn't have gotten in within a couple minutes. So it seems the AFK timer is serving it's purpose.

There is always more chars than what the server can handle, as far as I know. The problem comes when too many of them log in at once even though it's different time zones. I think Yoshi said so himself in an interview.

I still, after all these threads, have yet to see ONE legit reason as to why people are freaking out that they cannot be logged in for 5784 hours straight.

I still get queued up to log in even in the evening PST which is normally beyond peak time for most of the NA servers. With the AFK timer the queue seems to go by faster and allows me to get into the game. If there's a queue it means that the game has either exceeded the amount of people that can be logged on concurrent or it has hit max cap. Either way this system works and it will keep working.

(Didn't read entire thread so I'm sorry if I'm repeating someone else-) With auto-afk kick I am going to miss the added "immersion" of players randomly AFK'ing in interesting spots as if being part of the world, blending in to the environment as if they were just another NPC, until you realize "hey! that's actually a player". I have a couple of screenshots somewhere.

I have a queue every night still, this includes logging in at 11:30pm est on Siren. If the AFK is keeping things to where I only have to queue and not get the 1017 then I think it is a good feature. Plus every mmo I have played had one anyway, so it was odd to me not having one to begin with.
