I am pi$$ed that we have to wait in queues of 1000’s whilst there are asshats either just running into walls on autorun or auto attacking in towns etc to avoid the AFK boot. Cannot log into a server because of these fools.
Please can you apply something like a localisation/xp check - ie if you are not either moving location or gaining XP then should start the AFK check.

I am looking at 2 players who have set themselves to auto run in a corner in the Inn so they won’t get kicked from the game all night while they sleep. I passed dozens more coming into Monarch bluff. This needs to stop. the only time I’ve been able to log in is 3 or 5 am the rest of the time I’m in queue hours and hours

I’ve seen a few as well doing this on two different servers.

Other things people are doing which are more stealthy is to get into their house, and then autorun so as to not be seen by others and not be reported. I have also read that players are dying and staying dead until they want to play actively again, because the game won’t log you out if you are dead, apparently (not sure if that’s true, because I had never seen it suggested before in the betas).

Really all of this needs a solution, like right now. There needs to be a hard stop.
