Remove auto-logout feature

[Eliseus]

Why should he? When none of you really go into detail. I asked which MMOs do not have afk kickers, no one answered. Know why? Because the amount that have them are so few it's embarrassing to your argument. The best reason you guys have for not liking it is because you're selfish and want the ability to walk away from the game for however long you wish. The afk kicker should have been implemented at the relaunch. I'm glad it's in now. The rest of you spoiled children can cry as long as you like, but this is a smart decision from SE.

I'd love to see the auto-logout feature removed or at least made optional as it was in XI. I'll miss seeing people camped out in creative places. Saw someone sitting in one of the hanging flower baskets last night and had a good laugh at that. Seen a lot of people camping out at high points, on rooftops, sitting with NPCs, etc. Won't have nearly as much of that now, and it's a shame.

I think it should remain, to allow others who sit in que to actually play.
Subsequently I think 30 minutes is to long, should be shortened to 15min.
That gives more than enough time to grab a snack, or hit the bathroom.

Aside from that they should also allow a 5 min window to relog without que.
Running a dungeon as a healer, and you get some freak error an have to come back to a que of 5-10 min is stupid!

kudos to the OP....troll success.

Maybe this afk-timer means they are re opening digital sales soon and expect lots of new players on the current worlds???...hell I alone have several friends & co-workers who want to buy the game as soon as digital sales are back up.

The auto log out is ok but 30 mins is too short imo. The point is to kick those afk while asleep or at work. Either it should be removed in a month or two when things settle down, or the idle time changed to 60-120 minutes, preferably the latter (2 hours). This would certainly accomplish whatis needed.

If your idle for 30 minutes it sounds like you have other things to do. If you afk out you simply log back in after your done doing whatever it was your were doing. Not really sure what the problem is here. I mean you do have half an hour to tap a key if afking out really ruins your day.

First people begged for the AFK kick. Now they're begging that it be removed. Wow.

[Khaoticsuccubus]

I'm just not sure why in the world a 30 min afk logout timer would bother people. Like seriously what could u possibly be doing that requires u to be afk for 30+ minutes. If your afk for 30 minutes of more your not playing the game and therefore don't need to be logged in.

[erasure25]

People think the afk timer solves login and rmt problems (it won't). But it will make the lives of some dd's queuing for dungeons more difficult. Average wait time greater than 30 min? Oops.

Pretty sure "the community" will be derpy derp derp derp derp derpy asking for the removal of the afk timer in 2-3 months when populations stabilize/decline. Nothing ever gets solved with emotional reactions, which is what this is: an emotion-based solution because you could not log in immediately (now nao na0!!!!!)

Honestly it's 30 minutes. If you can't make the effort to push a key once every 30 minutes you probably should be logged out.
