Is auto logout too strict?

[n64jive]

you wanna know how strict runescape auto logout is? While cooking, from the time you stop cooking your last lobster, you have 20 seconds to move the mouse...In other words, if your looking at forums, reading a good post, and you stop cooking, you have 20 seconds(not very long, as i know it took me more then 20 seconds to type this) to get back to the rs screen and click

[Cha0s360]

I personally dont think we should have a auto logout at all

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most other MMO's Don't

[BloodfleshX]

20 seconds is plenty of time. You don't even have to move you mouse, you could just move the camera angle a bit. Say if they did change the timer, people would complain that while they were afking (which isn't recommended) they got killed by a random.

AFKing is illegal, so they would have no grounds on afking.

[ilya]

how is this p2p?

 

 

 

and u get like 45-1m seconds, not 20.

 

 

 

u get killed by random if u stya on for too long, u know to what that could lead

[Freshwacka]

I usually go to pee and come back to find out I'm logged out

[BloodfleshX]

also, the only way to move the camera angle is to click on the screen...so you actually have to click on the screen first.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's preventing you from occasionally switching back and forth between pages? It takes me less than 10 seconds to do that.

My mistake, I thought it was just frowned upon. But that wouldn't prevent people from complaining about it.

My bad i didn't read your post properly i'm stupid and yes i agree that we should have longer log out time, sorry

[CampbellMC]

I think we should have longer, right now I can manage to fly down my stairs and get a drink and get back with like 2 seconds to spare. The only downfall to this is that about one in every ten time i do this i end up hurtin my self. Jagex Y u MaKE mE Hurt MySelf!

PROOF

 

 

 

I can say that In these following screenshots, i was late, and didnt even have time to make 2 screenshots in the time i stopped cooking..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This turns out to be 28 seconds, but i was indeed late on my second screen shot, because when i came back...i was logged out already

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so BEFORE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AFTER

 

 

 

[tripsis]

Lets try to keep the flaming to a minimum :wink: Or preferably none at all :lol:

[DRUMINATOR17]

But i still think that it is needed however...who knows maybe it slows down or messes up or hinders any attempts of would be lesser quality hacking/ modding/ macroing programs

...Once again my internet tone is sadly miskewed... #-o

[weasel]

i agree it is too strict, you can be woodcutting and click on the tree watching the screen and all of a sudden you get logged out before the tree falls.. :?

Keystroke that will solve all your problems!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alt + Tab switches between any windows you have open, hold Alt and tap

 

 

 

Tab and you can switch between two windows in about 1/10th of a second

 

 

 

without even moving your mouse. If you're doing something safe, like

 

 

 

fishing, you can just do this keystroke every 15-20 seconds, tap your left

 

 

 

or right arrow to keep from logging out, then continue reading/typing on

 

 

 

whatever page you were just on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOW YOU KNOW!

You'll still have to do something in game to make it work. All that does is change screens, not reset the auto-logout.

[Curtis]

I Think It Could Be Extended a little longer, Like to 1 and half minutes - 2 Mins, I Usually go to get something to eat and come back to find myself logged out :(

[jemathonical]

I would like to see it extended, but I'm happy with how it is

[Buzz9]

You have exactly 1 minuit the time until you will be logged out automaticly. That is for safety of your account. You could be hacked in moment of seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, its 1min

If you would read my post carefully ^^ you notice I said hit Alt + Tab and then

 

 

 

your left or right arrow to keep from logging out. By left or right arrow I mean, rotate

 

 

 

your screen to stop the auto-log. Thanks for trying, though.

[anonymouse_]

RS isn't like other MMO's and I think 20sec is plenty.

Jagex didn't write that...

[Runeman231]

I thought the auto-logout time was two minutes... :oops: :oops:

[Doomster]

You can time out while firing a full load of pots, so I'd assume that while cooking, the countdown begins from your last input, not from when your actions finished.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smelting a full load of Iron is another time when the timer can get you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It IS too tight, it never used to be as bad!

[Harrington]

Is it as short as 20 seconds? I don't think it is. I can smelt/cook a full inventory before being logged out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In saying this... I certainly wouldn't complain if they decided to increase the inactive time allowed. :)

[g_u_t_h_i_x]

I agree, if I go to look at forums while cooking and I come back, I've been logged out..

[E_D_G_E_1039]

And people complain about getting into worlds right now... Bet you'd love it without an auto log off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And AFK'ing is against the rules, so perhaps next time you browse forums, log out of RuneScape, or don't complain.
