Auto-logout exploit?

[Xiozen]

I've noticed (counted at least 20 players in game) quite a few players going AFK "while in the process of synthesis"... in other words, they've assumed the synthesis position, kneeling, using tools to begin synthesis or are in mid-synthesis and just stay that way...for hours...

A way to circumvent the auto-log-out? Because that's what it looks like to me...just sayin'.

Yep, time to make a detailed report about it.

If true, then yes definitely report it. I have stopped mid craft to answer tells or talk to friends, over even tab out to check a site, but I resume crafting when done. If they are doing this pause for hours at a time, something is wrong. I think the most I did was a 20 minute pause with a food buff ticking away- never again lol.

Yep, time to make a detailed report about it.

or time to hope this thread gets buried before anyone at SE notices, since the auto-logout shouldn't exist to begin with.

There's no point in fixing it, because even if they did, you could still defeat the system with a keyboard macro.

Facepalm those ppl.....

[Pinworms]

Gathering also. I have been seeing this as well.

That's blatantly abuse of the game. I can't imagine SE intended for people able to stay AFK in that position. I don't see the big deal... Why DO PEOPLE WANT TO BE AFK? Why is it so hard to log off and back in? I've been hit with the queue recently and only 3 in position, it's like 1 min tops to get back in.

What's the big deal with letting these people go afk if the queue isn't so bad? Why complain if there's no problem? It's very likely that many people will get bored and move on to other games soon. Why do we have to bust everyone's balls for something as simple as afking?

I think the main problem is that the people who like to AFK use the whole "The que isn't bad so just log in" argument,
yet they refuse to do it themselves. Doesn't that seem a bit of a contradiction? Why preach something when you
yourself are completely against doing it?

If you are seriously hell-bent and have to be logged in as to not jump off a bridge IRL, then I guess stay logged in.
If you are paranoid enough to where you HAVE to see what your FC is saying at all hours of the night/day. Ok.
If you think 30 sec - 1 minute of your life to log back in is absolutely heart shattering and unacceptable. Go for it.''

I don't get it. There are no bazaars, you get rested exp logged off. I would really love to see a reason besides the
"I just want to" that I've seen 250x now. Just give me ONE. And I'm not talking about waiting for DF etc, I'm talking
about the absolute NEED to say logged on for 16 hours while you sleep/work and don't touch the game. I want to see
a reason for THAT.

-Seeing FC Chat: Void. You are not going to be able to scroll back up 16 hours worth. Unless your FC says 1 sentence every 15 minutes.
-Wanting to beef up your playtime to ridiculous levels: Idk. That's just odd to me, not sure of the benefit.
-Cuz I paid and I wanna stay logged on: Ok. Still doesn't necessarily explain anything, as you are not PLAYING with the money you paid. You are sitting there.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.
