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

[Pandemonium]

6 MMOs with no forced autologout:
FFXI
Maplestory
Vindictus
WoW, at least not when I played it years ago
D&D Online
LOTRO

FFXI - True (but optional and set to 20 mins by default)
Maplestory - what?
Vindictus - what?
WoW, at least not when I played it years ago (does now)
D&D Online - No idea
LOTRO - False, cos it does.

It is really a sad state of affairs when the only defense people can come up with is to fling childish insults at anyone who opposes their view.

It is a sad state of affairs that grown people are complaining that they have to log back into a game, when they have been away from it for 30 minutes or more.

How entitled do you have to be to demand this?
What reason do you need to be logged in while not there or doing anything?
How selfish are you demand so much afk server load?
How dumb are you guys if you still don't realise there is a very simple work around if it bothers you this much?
How are you still not aware of the 'search function' in these forums, to the point where you feel the need to start your own thread on the topic to whinge about it, instead of just joining on of the several others, on the same topic?

Oh so glad someone called out this BS post. If we are to allow games like Maplestory and Vindictus as evidence then you know your argument is weak. Most MMOs that this game is modeled after have AFK timers. If you're gone for more then 30, then yeah you should be kicked.

But I afk waiting for a timer- craft. Press w on your key board once in a while. How are you that lazy this is a legitimate problem in your eyes?

I hope this is permanent. If you aren't playing, then you shouldn't be logged in. You clearly feel differently, but it seems like the devs have sided against you for now.
