Thumbs down Inactive Players (AFK)

I Think players that are Inactive for 5 Minuites Should be logged out of the game. this is so that they dont take up district space and bandwidth.

somethimes im playing GW and trying to create a party for a mission. and there are about 30 ppl there, of which 15 are AFK! Post If U Agree or Disagree

Sometimes I afk for dinner, or to answer the phone.

I appologise if that keeps you from forming a party though.

The player should be in control of when he gets logged out. He could be there just looking at trade spam for an item.....no thanks.

/no way

Too much real life stuff can come up for 5 minutes, not to mention being in the middle of some long mission or quest and being interrupted for 5 minutes only to have to start over.

If it is towns only then that could be OK but I still don't see the point of it. Perhaps 30 minutes? Exclude the GH.

and to tell you this is already the case if you leave your game inactive for oh i don't know 6hrs or better can't quite remember it knocks you off if you are not being attacked. that is the only preventetive that i have found. shorting the knockoff time is a bad idea. i will often times leave my game on for several reasons. oftentimes i have to go but i thought it was going to be short and don't want to have to relog ect. and the problems with mission groups whats the difference if they are logged on or not maybe they just dont wana join ur party. maybe they are chatting with friends.

Some people do have real life stuff pop up.
Also, all those "afk" people in the mission areas may either

1) not like getting blind invites
2) already done the mission and are just ignoring you cause they are in town for something else (doing explorable area stuff like chest running, using the traders, FF, etc)

Nah.. bad idea. I idle in game a lot when I'm doing stuff here or making food.. It'd be annoying to get logged out.

/not signed as it is in the suggestion...

1.tho its not idle but i do chat with guildmembers friends etc... thus appearing idle but still doing something...
2. while chatting with friends they sometimes come up with questions like... where can i get this elite... or what were the stats for this build, then i go an check it out from web, ,and while this still is afk, id hate to get thrown out of the game an getting my hench party together again for somethging like this

a suggestion that might work better could be... automatic /afk for 5 min idl
also that would flag u afk and ur name would appear in different color perhaps? this would solve ur problem with idlers without kicking them from the game
