Be afraid, be very afraid.
This idea has been a long time coming for me and i can honestly say i write this 100% non-bias.
EVE needs a 4 hour idle log out timer.
This exists in every mmo i know of or every played excluding matched based games where sitting at the menus will do nothing.
I know this idea has been bouncing around alot in both the forums and CCP. But quite honestly it needs it.
This is a 4 hour one so yes you can go make dinner and find yourself still online.
The 4 hours is for people in station floating in space even APing but since no distance in EVE can be APed safely for 4 hours this is not an issue.
I don't see any real way of this being an issue for anyone and would make the eve servers less worked and be alittle more green eco wise. |

Posting in a stealth AFK cloaking thread that is completely redundant, because if I ever find myself in a situation where I forgot and left myself logged in to Eve AFK for over 4 hours I typically get disconnected anyways.

Are you a forum alt? Have you ever wondered why your experience on the forums is always so frustrating and unrewarding? This may help. |

I don't see any real way of this being an issue for anyone and would make the eve servers less worked and be alittle more green eco wise. Seeing as this is so easily avoidable, I don't see the point.
Also, I fail to see how this benefits CCP.
Oh I am sure at this point you'll start to suggest server lag etc etc. But the truth of the matter is, AFK pilots bear next to no resource drain on the server. Simply because their client isn't making the requests of an active pilot.
If you then put that fact next to the thought, that maybe CCP likes having those numbers added to their daily logged in figures. Hell if you could increase your logged in pilot numbers, but have them have next to no effect on the server performance. It's common sense you wouldn't wish to log them out.
So let's recap of why it's a bad idea.
1. AFK pilots, have no discernible effect on the server.
2. They provide CCP with increased log in numbers, with the benefit of point 1.
3. AFK timers are so easily bypassed.
Plus as others have said, it already tends to happen. But I believe this is more to do with your ISP than CCP.

Thread being locked, as this is a redundant post. This is more a policy issue than a feature or in game idea.
