Is auto logout too strict?

[ugafan_2009]

Yes!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish it gave you like 5 minutes so you could get somthing to eat/go to the bathroom without getting logged out. I actually found my self sprinting to the bath room, taking a super fast wizz and sprinting back just so i wouldnt have to type my 30 character password again only to sit down, and watch the log in screen appear, (LITERLY JUST AS MY BOTTOM HITS THE CHAIR)

This is where you fail, next time make a diving attempt to move the mouse just a tad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On topic, yes I agree, we should have a little more time :thumbsup:

Yes!!!

Thats what I do. :-w

[Aquashock]

The other few MMOs that i play dont have any type of auto log feature, but then again, they are downloaded to your computer and have gaurds to protect against autoers, and one of them does not have any type of "random" to stop autoers, just GMs to patrol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As of late, the only thing the auto log has done is hinder my playing.

[Soulthresher]

dude, all u hafta do is move the camera angle, right click something or switch ur mene from inventory to stats. Wow aint that easy?

Why should someone be obligated to click every minute when say making something as time consuming as cannonballs, iron ore, or fletching?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They should at least up the auto-log time to 5 or 10 seconds over the longest skill related option, which im guessing is making 27 bars worth of cannonballs (which is over a minute).

[youknowwho]

ive got a great idea, instead of randoms killing you there should be something called "sleep mode" where after a 1 minute and 30 seconds you go into sleep mode where your character cant be attacked and he stops whatever he or she is doing and your screen dims(like the xbox 360). Then ounce the mouse is moved again it automatically goes out of sleep mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but yes i agree with longer log out time

[thargor01]

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't believe that only one person called him on this............ :XD: :XD: :shock:

Maybe you should pay attention to what you are doing.

No, no, no!! You've got it all wrong!

 

 

 

You don't dive for the mouse!! You might miss the rs window or worse, you could even pull your entire keyboard out!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What you do is dive for one of the arrow keys!

 

 

 

How many times am I going to have to explain this to people?... :roll:

you have to be kidding me... There are at least a dozen of things wrong with those three sentences.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. You spelled 'minute' wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Your first sentences grammar is wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Your second sentence's grammar is wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Your third sentence's grammar is wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. I think you meant you can be hacked in a 'matter of seconds', not 'a moment of seconds'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. You obviously have no idea what 'hacking' is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. No, you can not be hacked in seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. You can not be hacked while logged in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. You spelled 'unless' wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. You spelled 'Automaticly' wrong

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

11. The entire point you were trying to make is incorrect. The auto logout is not one minute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12. You must have been an idiot to have thought we would beleive that for one second.

Afking or away from the keyboard is illegal in Jagex's eyes. I mean, for all saying you want to expel bodily fluids, you can log out for 40 seconds. For me, I log out even though I got a wee bladder. Takes me a good 5 to 10 seconds to expel, 20 seconds to rinse and lather my hands in good soap. I drink too much water, goes right through my system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No need to rush back and forth between bathrooms, for all your solutions. May I suggest a computer in the bathroom? Maybe even a phone, don't even have to get up. Just sitting there all day long... I like to walk around a bit, do a few laps around the house. Sitting all day makes you get cramps so get up. No need to run either. Take your time, log out when needed to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please stop talking about how it should be longer, yes I would agree 10 seconds more should be fine but till Jagex is kind enough not to make it 15 seconds. I like the auto log out because what if you took too many pills and you black out? Someone comes along and sees your still logged it, *yank. There goes all your stuff. So no, its fine as it is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So remember! Does it really matter to stay logged it compared to rushing and not washing your hands? I am now personally scared to shake hands with anyone unless I smell soap. Or even getting that tasty chocolate bar? No need to exert energy and run for it. Walk, you would probably strain your calf muscles anyways.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for reading, please take the time to log out and wash carefully. It reduces the risk of getting sick too.

But all that running is good for you. And god knows you need at after sitting there on your lazy butt all day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dont think jagex should get rid of the auto log out, I just think they should increase it to 4, or even 5 minutes... Getting rid of it would be horrible. Especially when your mom comes running into the room screaming at you to clean up your closet. Dont want a random to come killing us while you're upstairs, now do we?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But really who keeps a computer in their bathroom? :P

[Poddy295]

Yes, It is a bit strict, id up it to around 45 seconds

[ddaanniiellh]

Its a reasonable time, I used to have a laptop that constantly overheated, and I am definitely happy that it logs me out when the computer turns off from the heat.

 

 

 

~Ddaanniiellh

[aznmidget448]

I think people should just learn to click the log out button and we won't have the auto logging pain, although what if your internet or computer crashes? Then your character just sits there...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a while, you will get used to the timing and you won't have to worry about autologging... Also to prevent this, just open two windows and have the forum browsing window just small enough so that you can see your character cooking or the amount of lobs you have left to cook. It shouldn't be too hard.

[timmay929]

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure AFKing isn't illegal, just looked down on.

I just searched the manual and they have nothing...may be a hidden rule, but idk...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yea, there's definately not enough time, I'd want something closer to 5 mins so I could at least get started on one of my longer posts before having to switch back and back and begin cooking again ;)

What is AFK Training?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AFK training is Away From Keyboard training. While you are playing on RuneScape, you must be at the computer. Away from keyboard training is not allowed, and you should log out when you leave the computer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, I think it's a little strict. Of course, autolog isn't a bad thing, but being logged out after every 20 seconds of inactivity is annoying.

[milemaster55]

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most other MMO's Don't

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well, most other mmorpg's dont have "stuff" that you lose when u die (i know that in WOW your stuff just degrades) but what if u lag-out when you are at metal drags (i know i have before, and thanks to auto-log, i didn't lose any of my ahrims or the d skirt drop i got) your char would go on fighting them until your potion ran out and they slowly killed you with fire breath. Personally, i think auto log out has more up than downs (yes, it IS annoying at times).

[Jard_Y_Dooku]

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, you're a female.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And auto-logout is fine... what I really wish there was, was a feature that when the applet lost connection with the client you would be logged out immediately, even if you were in combat... but that could get abused by people X'ing out the window. Hmm... we'll think of something.

[go_falcons92]

 

 

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

 

 

 

Then hurry a bit more. I manage to stay logged in when going to the toilet (to pee, that is, poo'ing takes a bit more time :D)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You're a boy. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ROLF!! Thats so funny. The auto log can be a little annoying but it saves ppl from being killed by randoms.

[Wrench_150]

It's okay, not sure what side to get on though. Longer time means I might get random...shorter time makes me hurry...

 

 

 

Right now 1 and half minutes is good enough (bathroom is close by :lol: )

 

 

 

It's okay for me as long as they don't make it shorter.

 

 

 

I really don't want a stupid random to tele me somwhere, kill me, drop/note my items, and etc

 

 

 

Most of the time if I know I'll be gone for longer than 1-2 mins, I log off, otherwise like just turning my chair around to get paper, I leave it on.

[deciever2]

Most other MMO's don't have quite as many autoers as well. From Jagex's point of view, the auto-logout is an effective way to hinder the macroers without having to add in more random events.

[Khazargoth]

If I'm not paying attention and almost dead and the game logs me out. I like that, but if I'm fine and cutting trees, not paying attention for minute and it logs me off, it makes me mad.

[n64jive]

From all the reading, people seem to think about afking...I dont afk, I get indulged(sp) into a good topic(like this one), and i forget about the rs screen, and next thing i know...i'm logged out(and it can't be too terribly long that i'm not at the rs screen)

[joyfullog]

I believe that there should be a small increase to the auto log-out time for the people who do tend to multi task. 30 > 20
