Remove auto-logout feature

[mythicrose]

Create a looping macro. AFK timer defeated. If purely movement based, auto run inside an inn room. Stop complaining. While it may inconvenience some, it will benefit others. OP and those that want this feature removed, you only have those that abused it to stay logged on intentionally to avoid the inevitable 1017 error should they log out. Those people were the symptom of inadequate servers, but were easy scape goats to blame for those of us that played the log on mini game for hours at a time.

This leap in logic does not follow. There's no reason for SE to do this.

So. Less AFKers means more open connections. Fin.

SE is a business. They will load each server to capacity. AFKers being kicked does not mean more open connections. It means more room for more characters.

Wishful thinking on your part.

30 minutes is too short. I've had duty finder waits that were more than twice that. I don't know if being in the duty finder counts as being active, but either way just on a matter of principle the game should not kick you for being inactive for a shorter period of time than the game forces you to wait.

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.

What facts? Oh right yeah, there are none.

As for "This day and age" ... wanna play that card? In this day and age, you should not be wasting all the energy by leaving your CPU/Console and monitors/televisions on for 30+ minutes without them being used.

The server infrastructure determines how many active / created character can concurrently exist. "lol business" is not a reason.

I like how they fixed the servers, THEN implemented the totally now useless AFK disconnect.

I still occasionally got 1017 on Tonbery server at prime time. Hope this feature reduce it

This is why auto logout is needed. Even though some people may not be currently affected, there are still some servers having 1017 issues.

30 minutes is very short... I alt-tab while wating for the duty finder which usually takes longer than 30 minutes to find me a party.

Community: The afk players blockade the servers, we need a forced lock-out.
SE implement forced lock-out
Community: Too late, we need it not more. Away with it.
SE remove forced lock-out. Online sell start again. New players coming
Community: SE, we need forced lock-out again. Give it us.

Dungeon Finder, DD, Desktop. Won't happen to me, but i bet there will be some mad about it. I don't see much use in that feature NOW, a week ago it would be great, now its just... not usefull anymore.

You can fish some fishes while you wait. Some fishes give you also some gil.
The best thing about the content finder is, you can do all different stuff while you wait. You don't need to be AFK.

If you are alt-tabbed and not watching then you only have a 60 second window to confirm you are in/out.

Or,

Alt-tab back in at some point during that 30 minute window, so you can check on your duty progress AND, almost as if by magic, stop the auto-disconnect!

Don't afk for 30 minutes. Crisis averted!

Better yet use you mouse keyboard or auto hot key to do something every 20 minutes automatically when you afk so you dont get kicked.
