Please tell me the auto-login "feature" is only temporary

For those DPS who are saying they liked to queue for Duty Finder then AFK for longer than 30 minutes:

As a tank, I've had several duties try to commence, only to have one of the DPS fail to confirm, which is baffling considering the compaints I've heard. If you want the duty enough to queue for it, at least be around when it's ready to join. It's not a big deal for me since it's just a few minutes wasted, but I figure it's a huge deal for a DPS role to miss it. So if you want to go walk your dog or drive your kid somewhere, the auto-logger isn't really your problem. There's tons of other stuff to do in the game while you wait for a duty to commence, I suggest you do that, or something nearby so you can hear when it's ready. Hell, if I was mostly playing DPS, I would've found a tank or healer friend to queue with by now so I wouldn't have to wait so long.

I don't mean to dig up posts, but I saw this under "for sake of playability, please cap number of people in a zone at a time" (Sept. 10):

e.g. when Behemoth or Odin spawn, practically the whole server runs over to participate, resulting in amazing lag. tons of people disconnect, you can't see anything, everybody dies, and you can't return, you just get stuck in limbo. So please, cap the number of people that can enter the zone. Not everyone may get to participate, but at least the people who are there can actually play.

If there is no afk timer AND there's a zone cap like you wanted, what stops people from staying (maybe afk) in Coerthas and locking players out of the zone so they can't participate? Isn't being locked out of a zone similar to being locked out of the game due to afkers?

It seems like you just make suggestions that are beneficial to yourself. If you wanted to just do things the way you want, go play a single player game instead

You must be rich to be able to keep your self logged in and pay ur electric bills with out any problems. It is not hard to log back in I'm sorry but it just sounds like your lazy. If you get kicked out during DF thats ur problem cause theres allot of other things u can do as you wait In this game. Ever since they have added this people can get back on. this is something that needs to stay cause like someone stated once the PS4 version comes out and the download copy you can buy on line goes back on sale if this feature gets taken away we are gonna have a lot of problems.

It should be permanent because 1070 still exists. There is no reason for you to be taking up server space if you are afk 30 min. You only need to log back in if the game kicks you out. Getting 1070 will be a lot less likly to happen when people get kicked after 30 min of being afk. I know people stay logged in all the time and are afk days at a time before playing. These are the people who are making it so people on crowded servers can't get in.

For those who are saying that login issues are completely gone, you couldn't be more wrong.

The JP data center servers, where many of us went when the NA servers were unplayable, are still having issues during peak hours due to a much larger player population. As soon as they open up world transfers again, it will balance this load and bring back issues to ALL servers.

So yeah, logging in is still an issue globally in the game, and it's coming back to a server near you when they allow world transfers.

Login issues mostly went away after the last big maintenance.

You just answered your question with your statement, If you happened to be involved in a task that requires more then 30 minutes of your precious time, and you are logged out. Then you mostly wont have a issue logging back in since "the last big maintenance"

I dont see the problem with this.

Im sorry I thought there was a problem, seems to me this is a good thing

How were you expecting to afk while being in the duty finder anyways? It's not like you're going to be there to join if it finds something. Not to mention the joy of your would-be party mates who get to sit there wondering if you're going to join before being kicked back out into the queue.

Agreed and Liked! With the DF averaging out to 15 min for non tank classes rightfully so!

IF afk more then 30 why are you logged in, you are not playing. CHeck back in 30 click the option.

Auto run does not circumvent it. Repeating certain key ops does not as well. Eventually it see's it. It looks for key aspects for activity and interaction and will be adjusted as needed.

If you really find a need to circumvent it to be afk more then 30 mins. You need to evaluate your ethics, addiction issues, and value.

Please tell me the auto-login "feature" is only temporary

There can be many unexpected circumstances that could pull you away from your computer for 30 minutes or more, making this timer ridiculously short. Login issues mostly went away after the last big maintenance, so why did they still feel the need to put this in? People aren't really staying logged in just to keep a spot on the server anymore, because it hasn't been necessary.

Please, remove this needless feature once the worlds are stable , or make it on by default but optional in the configuration. If you don't, people are going to make keyboard macros and stuff to circumvent it, so it's pointless anyway.

OP i sure would like a Auto-LOGIN feature but hey thats just me, if however you meant the Auto-LOGOUT feature then it is a permanent thing, as other have said, if you are going to be AFK for more than 30 mins then log yourself out, if you are going to afk in a dungeon for more than 30 mins, then quit the group or don't queue till you are sure you have the time to play through the entire dungeon, if it is an unexpected AFK then LOGOUT so you know where you will be and also that you will still be alive.

Stop complaining and stop trying to rationalize that you just want to be lazy and stay logged in all the time.

They might as well get rid of /away and /busy now, because you will get autokicked either way.
