But then this would be getting banned for botting. Imagine how that title would read?
"Banned for BOTTING"
Not very sensational. OP would have a hard time getting people to validate him then.
No idea. Maybe never, the way things are going. Whenever I look at the top of this website and read the "Trending Games", I die a little inside.
Define "good" mmorpg?
Also can we have a guesstimate on the wait time - like 5-10 years?

There are a several of approaches here
1. Accept the way things are now, pick a game you like the most and enjoy it as much as you can
2. Wait for that perfect game, look at the current games in disappointment and stay bummed out
3. Quit gaming
4. Start a boy band
5. (insert your own)
Sarcasm is strong here, that's cute.Still defending Trion! I like that.
Decent game, terrible company. It just makes me laugh to see how bad they keep doing and to what length people go to still try to support them....
That labor system, working so hard to keep a goof economy.... HAHHAHA
What Trion have done with this silly announcement is to make everyone aware that they'll not be punished for AFK'ing, they'll simply be disconnected (if they detect you).
So go forth and be AFK ! Jam that server solid !
Trion will probably try to write a script to detect and disconnect AFK players automatically. It's too expensive to employ an army of GM's to do this manually. The script will most likely be largely ineffective and be severely nerfed after the forums explode with "I was unfairly disconnected !!!!" posts...
Trion has my sympathy, they're f*cked no matter WHAT they do, lol
I choose...
2. Wait for that perfect game, look at the current games in disappointment and laugh at how many games come crashing down.
Have to be honest, it is pretty entertaining. WoW still numbah 1!!! /cry
P.S. These companies are very lucky. They have people naive enough to buy Alpha/Beta access and test the game for them. Looking forward to pay us $300 and we will name an NPC/Weapon/Etc after you. Or maybe, pay us and we will let you do some of the work. Who knows?
A little too optimistic? Even if they do open up more servers you know good and well that they will be shutting them down in a few months. After only a few days you think that this game will only grow?
Hmm...
Have you really thought this through? I guess not.
Nothing to see here people. Just another MMO sandbox/PVP savior of a title that will be a desert in a few months. Move along people, move along.
Kick is close to a ban as with kick you could just log back in and play BUT the queues are getting insane took me 13 hours to log in.
What is sad 1 in 3 players are afk that's what you get for a LP system what they should do is you only get LP by doing quests and being offline.
Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
It's not frowned upon what so ever... /afk. Most games have this option, wouldn't be there if it was frowned upon....just saying.

What did they say you actually got banned for.?
Hello #ArcheAge adventurers! During periods of queueing, AFK mount levelling does count as AFKing, which makes one subject to removal.

The context changes with the situation.
I call lies on this. In the real world this is called slander. Prrovide proof of this, which I am sure you don't have.
Mission in life: Vanquish all MMORPG.com trolls - especially TESO, WOW and GW2 trolls.
The problem is being exacerbated by the labour point system though, which is the real issue here, because they don't regenerate offline for f2p players there will inevitably be a tendency for those types to find some way of staying online so that they can 'regenerate' their LP's without recourse to buying the potions, of course this has 2 knock on effects, log on queues for other players, and less sales of labour potions for Trion, fixing this by booting afk players is a necessity not only for freeing up space for players wanting to log in, but also to encourage potion sales. I can totally see Trion bringing in a 3 strikes and your out rule, so while booting may be happening now, it wouldn't surprise me at all if repeat offenders end up being banned some time in the near future.
Kick = Queue
Queue = Forever
Ban = Forever
Kick = Ban
So you weren't banned for being AFK then? I know you've got complaints, but if you were truly banned for being AFK then I'd expect that to be the reason. Since there is an "Official" response from their Community Manager on the matter, this is ammunition. There isn't a game in the world that's going to permaban people for being AFK. Sorry, just not going to happen, unless you're so rich that you're wiping you ass with hundred dollar bills. It sounds like you've got a lot more issues with the game than just getting booted for being AFK.

So with that logic:
Log Out = Ban

I like the part where you had 0 proof of your claims while there's plenty of proof that they're just kicking AFK players, which by the way, how is that a bad thing, stop being greedy if you're done playing then log out.
[mod edit]
Trion seems to be coming to their senses they are adding more servers today, if I paid my money and want to stand in a MMO where I can play later that day instead of a six hour que I should be able too.
Blaming the customer for Trions mistakes is not good for the company or game.
[mod edit]
I want AA to be successful and hope Trion gets its crap together soon.
They are already cracking down on those running in place, et al. So it's going to be a non-issue soon enough.
You assume that those AFK LP types are purely F2P players... it's not. Patrons earn even more LP than F2P players so their AFK is far more profitable than a F2P players' is. What you have are people trying to avoid the queues by never logging out. That applies to all players, not just F2P. They're not looking to boost their LP as much as stay in game so they don't have to wait to get back in.
And what do you expect in a game that has you wait X number of hours/days for crops to mature et al... people standing around is going to be the norm.
You want to get rid of the AFKers? Make it a world-wide PVP zone. NO SAFE AREAS. We can all just CTRL-F our way to removing those running in place.
I assume the OP confused the words 'banned' and 'kicked'
It's not that people are siding with a company, it's just the people are calling BS. It's ok if you hate the game (personally I wouldn't play until land freed up), but when you just spew BS, you're going to get called on it.
Unfortunately, it's the sense of entitlement that you're showing that makes me shake my head. You acknowledge that there is a 6-hour queue and yet you are entitled enough to believe that you deserve that spot more than anyone else sitting in that queue. There are people on here saying that Patron priority is BS because they're waiting for 6, 7, 8 hours to get into the game, but it's not that priority is BS, it's that people like you are clogging up the servers just standing around not doing anything.
AA has mechanics built into it which reward you for being online, PLAYING the game. It might be their fault that they haven't built in a feature to automatically handle this (actually it's mind-boggling), but that doesn't mean that you're any less wrong for exploiting it. Come on!
