Going afk in the main city is a tradition too pretty much every mmo ever.
 
Carbine y u know like keeping every PVE user that logs in on? I for one would love to see more ppl and do no want anyone getting kicked from the game.
 
Can we please get a optional slider to allow us who want to to have a 1-2hr window in PVE???

Can't think of a single major MMO that doesn't have an AFK timer.I'd love to see more people around. AFK zombies are not people.
 
PS- love how your other thread is about your poor framerate, and you're asking here for something guaranteed to tank the framerate of everyone.

why kick off the few that do even bother to login???
 
The only purpose this feature currently serves outside of pvp is to show exactly how empty most servers are. No point in still having this whatsoever.

There's plenty of point to having it. You just don't understand it.

I kind of agree... the game flags me as afk when I'm puttering around in the AH & working at a crafting station, too. I mean, all I have to do is jump or move my character slightly & it'll clear the "You gonna be logged out, afk'r!!" status, but still.
 
If there are key presses happening, if I'm typing & doing things it should register as activity with the game, but it doesn't. Only character movement registers - which is mildly annoying & like you said, unnecessary outside of pvp.

- I disagree that players should be allowed to afk forever ... anywhere in the game. period. This is just bad for a variety of reasons.
 
- I agree that we should not be getting flagged as afk while chatting, or browsing the market, or crafting, etc. Just because I'm not moving, doesn't mean I'm not there at the keyboard. We have to the tech to differentiate!

please name 5 mmo's where this is a "tradition" and people are allowed to remain logged in.
 
the typical timeframe is about 1/2 hour of afk time
 
has nothing to do with people just standing around in the main city.
 
could they have the afk flag ignore people chatting? certainly, since there is keyboard input.
 
the afk logout is there for a reason. and calling anyone a "whiteknight" for knowing that and disagreeing with you simply makes you look...silly...for lack of a better term that would be considering insulting.

Nvm yo carbine close this thread and decrease afk kick timer even more.
I want even more of a ghost town across all servers. Since it's (still) needed so badly let's remove players outside of PVP a bit faster thx.

Wow,FFXI,Tera,GW2,FFXIV,Raiderz and Neverwinter shall I go on? and u just admitted most games give u 2hrs. This was only added for launch day.
Again outside of PVP this strict timing is no longer needed and I personally would like a option to adjust my specific timer.
 
It would be helpful for new players and old players to see more bodies in the main city but they also need to make the main city more useful but that's another topic.
 
Edited original post because ppl where unable to see my 2nd post of timeframe.
Now I will know if ppl are purposely just trying to argue for the lol's.

WoW, 1/2 hour logout if afk so not even going to address the rest. might want to research a bit
 
I ADMITTED they give you a half hour, 30 minutes. where do you get 2 hours from 1/2 hour?
 
I am not arguing for the lols, not even going to bother posting here any more because its hard to do so without being insulting because of a complete disregard for how afk log out works or why its there. good luck with your.....suggestion.
 
good day sir.

My apologies thought you typed 1-2hrs instead of 1/2hrs.
 
But again what you are stuck on I already mentioned in my 2nd post of this thread so no clue y ppl are stuck on forever afk??
 
Suggesting has been changed good day to u as well.
Haven't played wow since before panda land but it is notorious for having ppl sit on mounts forever at the main city, u might wanna research a bit more?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
surprisingly, I still play WoW
 
the afk limit is ... one... half.. hour.
 
some macro that keeps you in game is bypassing the mechanic. that can be done in most games. which is also against the terms of service. here, wow, or any other game where they afk log you out. in case you are clueless, its there so you cannot afk level up while you are at work, playing something else or out for dinner. I support the reason for teh afk mechanic, and am against any kind of afk macroing or botting. which you should be as well.

Not sure how necessary this should be, but I can't see the harm in extending the AFK timout's timer.
 
I just don't see the good in it either.  I mean, I get that it'll fill the screen with more bodies for people's CX pics, but it doesn't really solve the root problem.

Wasn't aware u can level up inside main city.
For PVP and outside the city sure but inside the main city should be different.
 
Especially now with server populations decreasing.
----
			
It's funny. The AFK timer was much longer. They made it shorter and logged you out to deal with the massive population of people on the servers. They needed to make room for others trying to get in.
 
Seems like an unnecessary artifact now.

Some games you could stay logged in all bloody day and night, being AFK while sleeping, come back and still be standing there.  It's all anecdotal and irrelevant.  Carbine makes the rules for this one.
 
That said, the 5 minute AFK is so very annoying WHEN YOU ARE TYPING.  That defeats the entire definition of "Away From Keyboard" when you are using your keyboard, doesn't it?
 
It should be 20 minutes of zero activity at all before flagging someone AFK.  Maybe at 30 minutes boot them.  IF they're wearing your resources down by idling.

Crafting is afk.
Typing is afk.
Browsing the AH/CX is afk.
 
wth.
