Why are you the only one out of 20 persons?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, I am quite annoyed when it happens, but I know its there to help me, and that it probably already saved me one time, so I'm still glad with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I go with oddfaery thus

RuneScape is a game that was meant to be played while sitting at a computer, not running away from a fire.

I consider the autolog out thing the equivlent of a dieter watching a cake from the other side of a window. She wishes he could break the window and eat the cake but she also realises that if she does that she will get fat.

The autolog is a good thing, mostly, but the time definitely needs to be extended; I can be playing and look out the window to see what my dog is barking at, and in that short time, I'm autologged.

 

 

 

When the autolog was first introduced, they said it was five minutes, but even back then you could be logged out in as little as thirty seconds.

 

 

 

I agree with the idea that as long as you're doing an action, i.e. fishing, mining, etc. you can't be autologged. With the way the inventory works to stop power-trainers, it won't take long for autoers to get full inventories and autolog even if JAgex changes the autolog feature.

People should consider that if no one logged off there would be a lot of people standing around in cyberspace taking up game space. Players wouldn't fit in all the worlds and the game could get boring.

its made for afkers thats y they put it and thats y they made it so monsters dont att you at certain lvls

I'm definately for the auto-logout. If you're doing nothing and just standing still (in most cases), you might as well log out; it's not that hard to log back in anyway. The auto-logout is handy for people who may go on computers shared among many people; it prevents others from using your character without knowing etc.

its alright sometimes and then other times it isnt :?

it was designed to stop auto pickers and stuff standing at spawn points.and save ppl that walk away from the computer. but i find it annoying and think it should b 2 minutes.

On other games like conquer or Monster and me, not logging out is just fine. I dont mind being able to stand around and not have to worry about comming back and logging back in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On runescape because of the amount of space on every server and macroers I think its a good idea we log out automatically. Although I do wish jagex would lengthen the time spent in game idol by a few seconds, though. I'm usually watching the screen but not moving the mouse while I wc and end up getting logged out.

It's not there as a convenience to players. It's there to stop people leaving characters logged in and sucking up bandwidth while not actually playing the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all know how much fun it can be trying to get onto world 1 or 2 when we want to buy or sell something. Imagine how much more fun it would be if people could simply get on and never have to log off.

Same here, I'm not AFK but sometimes I'm woodcutting or fishing or something and I don't want to have to move the mouse just so I won't logout. I'm still sitting at the computer playing the game but I sometimes take my hand off the mouse for a while.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Despite that, I still like the auto logout; I'm not THAT lazy that I can't move the mouse every once in a while while I'm watching my character catch fish.

I like it but it does have its down sides, i think they should change the time limit for it. that would solve the problem of people just keeping logged in but make it so you dont have to move the mouse every min, maybe increase the time to 10 min

Its a good thing to have but also an annoying one, but wat if you could set the amount of time before it auto logs you? That would be a great idea.

i think that it is just right the way it is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when fishing or wc, I just 'examine logs' or something, jus to remind the server that I am not afk. This seems to work well for me, and gives me time to surf websites briefly while doing these skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being able to change the amount of time you can log for is going to just help the autoers so im not for that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Someone also posted about logging while wc on world 1 and that it is really hard to get into. It really bugs me that worlds 1 and 2 are hard to get into cos there are people doing skilling like wc which can be done on any server. (this is probably where someone corrects me on faster respawn rates on busier servers)
