AFK Disconnect Timer

Should have a limit to how long you can stay online inactive before being logged off. 30 mins or even an hour would be plenty of time to take care of IRL issues.

I suggest this because a lot of people who use poe.xyz.is to sell items end up being pointlessly afk online all day long, to the annoyance of buyers, wasting their time.

Agreed.

And some people keep it on all night long so you can price their items for them while they sleep, then jack up the prices when they wake up

YES PLS, I was thinking of writing a post regarding this issue (YES THIS IS AN ISSUE) myself. I'm tired of seeing 1 out of 5 sometimes even 10 ppl playing or being nearby his/her PC when I'm using poe.trade and such. It is a huge time loss trying to come up with purchase options like if this one doesn't respond I got this as an alternative or another item. Unfortunately, often not a single one responds and you just find yourself with 20 or so minutes of wasted time...

These hours of AFK mode are beyond annoying and disconnect at some point would be very welcome. It would also free up your servers of inactive people which just stand having sunbaths in their HO. I mean if u've got to go to work go and please don't leave your toon online while you are ''trading''? Feels like utter trolling...

I'm not sure how much time would be good but I think ~20 minutes before flagging a player as AFK and another 10 before DC'ing or so would be more than enough. Please GGG do it, it's a QOL improvement for all of us. Thank you for your time if you were reading this.

a better solution than kicking players from the game would be to extend the website api that it also shows if a player is in afk or dnd mode.

yep, agree

This please

And then you'll realize how many of those "afk" players all night are actually botting.

you can't /afk while interacting with the game.

you can use "/dnd in the labyrinth right now, call again later please" though.

and it's unlikely that accounts used for botting are also accounts used for selling stuff, because a ban would lock the items.

agree every bot apps should be kicked, but for security I think to introduce disconnection if after pass by portal or WP client is not responsing, sometimes game hang, about 3 min.
