Getting booted off the server after four to six hours of inactivity seems fair.

Compared to what? I'm paying to play the game. Whether I'm idle or not makes no difference. It's called immersion. And if I choose to immerse myself in such a way that allows me to get up and do other things then sit back down continuing where I left off without delay, then that's what I want to do.
Well its kinda hard to be 'immersed' in the game if you are not actually playing it wouldn't you agree and don't you think that leaving the game running for six hours as you go about your daily routine is a bit of an extreme argument? What are you doing every day that requires you to have the game logged on inactive for six hour stretches as you do whatever it is you are doing in rl? I could understand your attitude if there was a fifteen minute or even one hour timer but I seriously can't see anyone past an afk cloaker trying to annoy the locals needing the client to stay logged in if they are away from the computer that long. And don't give me any guff about letting it idle as you trundle about the house as all you would have to do to keep a six hour inactivity timer at bay is to click something when you normally would check the client for whatever reason it was left on for. Kinda makes me wonder if you are running some form of BACON that requires the client to be logged on so it can passively collect intel data and send it to your mains intel site.

Sweetheart, if Eve becomes a routine part of your daily life that is immersion. Obviously in life we can't ignore some things. Being able to plop down and continue exactly where you left off is part of that immersion, least you would exclude all things reality based including bodily functions.
I'm still trying to figure out what exactly you do where you leave eve running and come back six hours later to plop back down to 're-immerse' yourself.

edit: *unless he's running a bot, hm?
Bots would not be effected by an inactivity timer because they are never inactive. There is no difference to the server if you press the button yourself or have a program do it for you. Now on the other hand intel gathering bots that read the client data to report system activity with names etc etc would get hurt but tbh that could easily be bypassed by adding in a keystroke once every few hours that won't break the cloak. But otherwise the only players that would get booted are the ones who are genuinely afk and have no reason to be online doing absolutely nothing for six hours in a row.
