Re: Anti-AFK

I think you also have to consider that long queues breed longer queues. When queues are relatively short and small, people don't really care. Another 5-10 minutes isn't a big deal so they log off more freely. When you have an hour long queue, people will naturally be resistant to logging off until they're done. This fact, combined with the expansion making people hit the WarCrack pipe a bit harder leads to an ugly situation.

I'm informed that MG is just as bad, if not worse, in terms of how long queues take now. Hour+ for 800-1000 people on any given night (basically it sounds like take Alleria's queue and add 200 to it)...except in that case after waiting an hour you're logging into Alliance on MG, so you get screwed twice.
