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

[Mkilbride]

This is a good thing. Why are people upset?

LMAO

Do you realize how contradictory you are OP? If the servers are "fine" and there's no issues with full worlds and not being able to log in due to people AFKing for days at a time... then why are you worried about the AFK timer? If you "step away" for an hour and get logged out, then you can just log right back in when you come back. What benefit does getting rid of the timer provide? None. But HAVING it does provide a significant benefit of allowing others to play the game when servers are filled with AFK d-bags.

SE can't win, people was going on about how the wanted this in the game and now that it is people don't like it, why not just log back in and play the game and not afking, because the point of a game is to play it, nyan nyan ^ω^

Welcome to the internet. I just wrote him off completely by the tone of his post. There are clearly still issues on some the JP servers and primetime NA/EU servers. This person is just complaining to complain, and even went so far as to blatantly lie about other games not having them. If your going to pick the most popular MMO to use in an argument make sure you do your research.

Well in retrospect, since people think modern mmos do not have a logout timers here is a list of some that do, in no particular order:

WoW
SWTOR
Star Trek Online
LOTRO
Rift
GW2
Neverwinter Online
Aion

And that's just to name some current and popular MMOs. (lol @ maple story and vinductus). It's industry standard and common practice to reduce server load, even when servers are not maxed. It makes smoother play for people who are actually playing, regardless of it not being capped at the moment. There is NO valid argument against an AFK timer as it takes 5 seconds to log back in, and people who do other stuff while in Q can tab back in every 25 mins to press A button. Not the end of world. You can QQ all you want, this wont go away.

[Deathwhitch]

To OP

Since you like to scream about what a mmo is meant to be like I'll make it simple. A mmo is a game designed to feel like a living breathing online world, no where in the world do you go in real life where people stand in place for HOURS on end not responding to anyone or anything around them!? NOWHERE

There is no reason this should be in the game as it effects the gameplay of others in more way than one. Stop poisoning the experience for others because your to lazy to simply log back in, or since getting around it is so easy why don't you post on here less and spend more time making macros to avoid it

Self centered Jack asses like you are the reason I refuse to work with the public

Again, you illustrated how stupid and pointless the autologout feature is. Anyone who gives a shit can defeat it easily. Thus, there is no point in having it in the first place. Why make people resort to such silly measures?

30 mins is too long anyway, lets shoot for 15 minutes.

I dare them to do it, and I dare you not to get annoyed at having to re-log in every time you have to get up from the PC for more than a minute.

Things often don't go as planned. Sometimes a brief AFK can turn into something longer. If it has to exist, it should be at least an hour. make it any shorter and more people are going to raise a ruckus over it.

There is no reason to ever need to do anything like that. You are just being absolutely ridiculous. There are servers where people still get 1017 on prime time, especially JP. That right there makes the AFK kick worth it. Second you are putting undue stress on the server for no reason other than you being lazy or wanting to be entitled.

The only people that have any sort of argument, and its still a small one, is DPS waiting in queue. And I say its small because I don't know why you would waste that time and not progress something else in the game. I would rather farm and make gil while I wait.

Yea and with the horde of afks being logged out, the servers may be a lot more stable and areas not crouded for needless epeening. I mean I like to show off my scholar relic too but I can do so while actually playing the game.

And wow will log you out of the game back to char select and eventually back to login after that. They should do it that way too.
