I wouldn't mind this auto log out feature if you could actually log back in .... It can take hours to get back on which can eat up your entire play time.

Also, did any of you defending this auto log out notice SE designed the zones with AFK areas including benches, chairs, and tables. And this feature makes sanctuaries pointless. They intended us to be able to log in and stay logged in. I am really hoping they remove the auto kick feature when they get the servers stable. FFXI worked just fine with hundreds of afk bazaars set up in towns all day and night. I never logged my main character out unless there was maintenance. Lets hope for that kind of stability.
