And the AFK'ers are back

Recommended Posts

The last couple of days it seemed like the AFK problem had at least been somewhat fixed. The queues were shorter and on average there were 11k people online during the day. However as of today it seems the AFK'ers are back in force. Because:

1. The queue is longer. This can have multiple reasons ofcourse however when you couple it with point 2.

2. The realm has only 8.5k players online. It does seem like alot of people are just AFK'ing abusing again to keep their spot on the realm. Unless ofcourse they ofcourse lowered the cap for whatever reason. However since I can find notification of the team that they indeed did this. I doubt that's the case.

So yea it seems that the anti afk abuse meausures they have taken so far have already failed sadly.

Yeah I noticed the queue's taking a LOT longer last day or so...
There must be an issue somewhere when every inn has 50 to 100 in it, all with AFK next to their name tag

Seriously.  This thing is like a nuclear powerplant for heat if I have wow on.  I leave my desktop PC on at home if I want to join queue, but wasn't feeling it yesterday.

So it is pretty easy to get an idea of how many people are sitting in character screen. Right now there is only ~9k people online with a 10k queue.

 

I'm told the server holds 10.5k people which means roughly 1.5k people are sitting in character screen (~14% of the population). Even if they fix this issue it will make a difference but not as much as you would think.

 

I'm a NA player and in the evening for me (8-9pm) the queue moves about 1k people / 20min (it is MUCH MUCH slower for Euro) but for me removing 1.5k people from the server only shaves 20min from a 2hr queue. Now don't get me wrong 20min is 20min but the point I am making is they really need to open another server because if the queue time is 2-3hrs people will not be able to raid

Once things calm down merge the 2 because if the queue time is 2-3hrs people will not be able to raid 

it would make a huge difference, cause ppl also go afk for sth. like 1h without getting kicked. the queue would take a third 1/3 or 1/2 the time.
