Auto-logout exploit?

[Swishytail]

Some people actually decided to use an actual computer, and not a radiator to play the game on. Just because you have a crappy cooling system, doesn't mean others have.

True, I could have typed that without snarkiness, but it still stands. If you have a good cooling system, it won't effect your room temperature.

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

BTW, What is with the need of all you afk-timer supporters to know what/why/how others use their game?

Actually, the fact that the computer is making his room hot tells me that his cooling is working very well. That means all that heat is outside of the case instead of staying in it.

I hate auto-logout but I get why they had to do it. With the free game time running out and the new car smell wearing off I doubt servers will be as congested as they were at launch. I love afking in games. Sometimes I want to take a nap and listen to the battle and zone music in the background (I'm lame). Other times I want to see whats going on in my ls while making dinner. Who cares, we don't need the afk police reporting legitimate players in the crafting motion. Instead lets report the bots that move in circles all day long where mobs that drop diremite web and fleece spawn.

A better question, now that there are no more queues to log in...

Why do you care what other people do?

How does this affect you in any way?

And why do you care mister bench press?

You can also do it by speaking to your retainer, or any NPC. Just keep the menu up.

I have good airflow.

Hence my room being hot, and my PC being cool.

The need to have the auto-logout work more broadly is had just by logging in. 9 times out of 10 I'm placed in a queue, double digits during peak times and single in off-peak. This isn't during the weekend, this is 9 times out of every 10 logins. I literally clap and squeal when that 10th time comes around. But, the queue is always waiting for me to come back. Sure, those other people are paying real money to play but, hey, so am I. I'm no more nor less important than they are. And yet I'm having to wait all because those people clearly don't see it that way, that their monthly fee is somehow better than mine and entitled to more benefits. Square's fix for the auto-logout couldn't come too soon.

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.
