Auto-logout exploit?

[Yuyushuu]

It's simpler than that honestly. I bought GTAV today and I ended up playing that for 5 hours while I was logged in, totally forgot about FFXIV, but I was still logged in, no auto log out. And all I had going was the map open because I'd been trying to keep an eye on FATE spawns.

Lol, a reason like that is fine, though. Everyone probably does something like that every once in awhile. :P

Explains some improvements that having the afk timer implemented.

My guess most of these afk people are just stupid people that like to do stupid things. You have a few options, report them or just ignore it and go on about your day.

Why is AFKing still necessary?

Because of 2+ hr queues for the AK instance. Other than that, idk.

It seems to me we have a growing group of people who are ACTIVELY and OVERLY concerned what other people are doing that has NO affect on them.

Please sit dafuq down.

Thank You.

Ok normally I'd agree but in Uldah and Mor Dhona there are so many elite statues standing around with their weapons drawn all day, as well as other characters that are less obvious about it. It makes Uldah and Mor Dhona really laggy. So it does effect those of us without the best computer hardware. We count too.

I honestly had no idea about this until this thread...

[Nihility]

why are people so desperate to never be logged out to begin with?

It takes all of 30 seconds to get back in game and if you don't input anything at all for 30 minutes your clearly doing nothing but wasting a little bandwidth and cluttering servers.
Is it just people have grown to be so lazy that typing in a user password is too much to ask for?

Auto log out was necessary only for the first week because of game breaking bugs, if anything it should now be removed. Even XI doesn't make you logout.

Hahaha GOOD! I hope the people keep doing this and many other ways till SE finally removes the feature!
