    Why so much hate for an AFK timer?

    I see people complaining over stuff like this and wonder why people do. But let's be honest, the people complaining about them adding an AFK timer should really think about it closely.

    Why is an AFK timer good?

    1. Some servers are still over populated!
    2. It enables more people to buy the game after the sales restriction is gone.
    3. Makes players lag less in over populated towns, rising performance on low end computers.
    4. Improves the server from giving out 90k errors for people who actually want to play.
    5. There's no good reason to stay logged in 24/7 anymore. There's an Auction House system now. No more AFKing to sell things.

    Why is an AFK Timer bad?

    1. None that I can think of, Now if the only way to sell stuff was though the bazzar like in some games like Ragnarok online and FF11, then yeah an AFK timer is a bad Idea.

    So summary of the post: AFK timers are good, not only does it unclog over populated servers, they do allow sells to be reopened to the people who want to buy the game and can't due to servers being afk. It also allows people to have better FPS in the game, as there will be less people in town to lag the area with so many characters around. It also relieves stress to servers so less disconnects. There is also no reason to stay log in 24/7 anyway. Go get a life if you think you're in title to be in the game forever.

    I work, do stuff around the house, I sleep so I can function at work and do stuff around the house. If I know I won't be back to my game in a 30 minute time period. I log out and let someone who couldn't get in, get in.

    So many Rude people in this world, don't care but anyone but themselves.

    Guess you guys don't play WoW where they have a AFK timer, or some of the other popular MMO's that do have a AFK timer.
