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.

Because the forum community pissed and moaned about it until SE finally decided to throw them a raggedy bone.

If you go afk more than 30 mins you should have loged out anyways before. Also if you get thrown out after 30 min...just log back in? Where is the problem?

Congratulations, week-one complainers! You cried and cried and cried about the login queues. You demanded an AFK timer. Now you've got one! Isn't progress great?

Login queues were addressed well with the initial datacenter expansion. The biggest problem since then has been gil sellers.

Dev cycles don't respond instantly to your concerns, so instead of a right-click/blacklist button or some kind of effective anti-spam heuristics, you get an AFK timer.

Enjoy it. I hope it's everything you dreamed of.

I dont see the problem. How long does it take too log back in now ? Anyway it`s also for unnecessary load on the servers.

You can always just...you know...log back in.

Just make a jump macro! G510 keyboard, Razer Naga FTW!

If you are not playing the game you should log out, you also do not leave the tap running when you leave the bathroom when you know you will be back to wash your hands later. The only complain about auto-kick is how late it was implemented.

This is what I don't understand. I'm assuming it just kicks you back to the Start screen where you have to click 3 buttons to log back in. Not a big deal! Maybe people just get off on the fact that their character can stand in town with that awesome gear so people can look at them.

everyone asked for it countless post about there needing to be an afk. people need to make up their mind and really if you have to go away for untold amount of time when you don't know when your going to be back then log out so what it logs you out after 30 min of not being at your computer i guess its really hard to log back in huh?
