Auto-logout exploit?

[Tupsi]

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?

Your mentality is why MMOs are cesspools now - "Why do you care that people are exploiting systems?" ...Ok.

Yep, like staring at a bot teleporting around mining nodes and not giving a rat's ass.
I don't get too mad but it does annoy me a great deal. Always report.

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

These aren't exploits - this is the system being lenient. Who cares? Why does everyone want to be the auto-logout nazi? Its had its intended effect - servers are now completely empty EST early morning. There are no login issues that I've seen. Problem has been solved - probably over-solved. Time to relax it down to 90 minutes or so. And fix duty-finder.

First off, the target for this sort of change would be to alleviate stress at peak times, not "early EST". Most people are employed, or go to school.

Secondly, this isn't "the system being lenient". The more likely scenario is auto-logout isn't something SE initially planned for so in their quick fix to implement it, they missed the many holes able to circumvent it. In other words, it's an unintended oversight.

I can't believe you actually think opening a menu to circumvent the logout is "being lenient" lol. This community is adorable.

As long as they are not disrupting anyone elses game play then it does not matter to me but once they do then they need to be kicked.for example congesting servers or crowding npcs

Personally I don't see the point of being afk as the benefits from resting in an inn room far out weigh just having my character just standing around idle for an extended period of time

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.

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