Auto-logout exploit?

[Evumeimei]

i read your whole post - it said you are upset the server is full of characters to render that would be rendered even if ppl are not afk - so i told you to go play the game since you can log in just fine instead of staring at afk characters being rendered (but you are fine with staring at playing characters being rendered???)

pretty fun solution, dont you agree? /shrug

If people are AFK it is because they are not currently playing. If they were logged out, their characters would not have to be rendered, thus creating less lag, etc. for other players. It's that simple. Why do people even need to be logged in AFK for hours? People keep aksing why others care, but what I want to know is why people do it in the first place if they are going to be gone for a long while... I don't get it...

I get why people do it, why wait any amount of time you don't have to right? I don't like waiting either. Unfortunately that's also why the game systems have to be modified to ensure game stability since us western gamers are notorious for only looking out for number 1, everyone else is everyone else's problem.

People seriously can't wait a few minutes to log on when they get home from work or whatever real life stuff they were doing? Really?

So... People with poor PC spec will now blame other people instead of themselves? I have not had any issues with rendering characters, and even if I did, I would not blame that on other players.

Okay, fair point. It's not a problem I personally have, anyways. I just think that if you are not playing you should just log out. I don't see the merit of staying logged into a game if you are not playing it or why people try so hard to find ways to stay in-game AFK when a timer is implemented.

Because they paid for the game and want to.

This way of thinking is so perplexing to me. 0__0 It's not like being AFK in a game makes you get your money's worth. That only comes with the time you actually spend playing.

Anyways, I've given my two cents on the matter already.

It's amazing, but yes, there are some people who cannot be bothered to wait even a single minute to login to a game, at least not willingly, and don't care who else they might be affecting by their actions.

I don't doubt that it happens. I guess I'll just never really get it. Honestly, people being AFK doesn't really bother me all that much. It's the mentality surrounding it that bugs me more. Ah well, the servers are stable for now, and people will continue to do what they want, I suppose.
