This is one of those things that if they had it when the game launched, nobody would complain even if it was months after game release. But since it's being added NOW rather than BEFORE people have already gotten used being lazy and thinking that AFKing in a game where there are people waiting is their only way to play.

With the new AFK system I'm sure that getting back in is no harder than spamming 0 on your num pad to try to get it in. People just like to bitch about something because they've already conditioned their tiny brains to do something else. You don't even have to type your password, you just have to hit the start button and it takes you to your character screen. So people complaining about that obviously haven't been afk timed out. NO PASSWORD RETYPING. So those people griping have literally not had it happen to them, they're just complaining for the sake of complaining.
