Can we please remove this feature from the game? Or at least prolong how long you need to be afk to be disconnected
Please it’s very important

What’s the. Problem to just get rid of it

To at least cut down on some accounts in the game doing nothing but being afk?

The disconnected due to inactivity feature shouldn’t be outright REMOVED from the game imo, but it would be cool to see a “warning” added, similar to animal jams system- a pop up that says you have been inactive for a while and will be disconnected in 1-2 min if you don’t move or click the notice before then

How about just increasing the time limit before disconnect? Say, half an hour? At least make it this long during off peak times. So all those minor distractions that delay us a few min when we afk don't lead to use getting disconnected. Also, reloading the game also consumes resources so I doubt it saves as much as it may appear. Mostly it just annoys the players.
I wonder how many of these disconnects are really people who simply walked away and aren't coming back within half an hour. I quit out of the game when I'm done playing, I don't just wander off.

I do this as well but it doesn't always work. Sometimes I lose connection anyhow.
And, I have found for many years that if I spin too long (say over an hour) that when I return and load various areas, I often lose connection. No one else has said they have this problem but lots of people seem to lose connection and I wonder if this is also happening to them but they don't realize it. It doesn't happen immediately, just within half an hour or so when loading into some area. Because of this, if I've been afk a while I usually just reload the game anyhow.

I made a similar suggestion here:
https://discord.com/channels/1118223835364331627/1261019392511316109
Where I suggest that you should be able to exit to the classroom as a safe from inactivity place. I also suggest a warning message before disconnect. I literally got booted last night because I was reading a thread here on discord and forgot to spin or nudge my character. The msg that I was kicked out literally pulled me from my trance. If I got a warning msg I would have gone back to the game, instead I said screw it and went to bed.

That isn't that helpful though because if you KNOW you are giong to be gone that long you can either spin or just x out of the game and start it reloading. The problem is when you think you will be afk 5 min and it turns into 15.

I don't know if it can be removed altogether but it's most likely possible to make the wait time longer.

I agree but if the point of the removal due to inactivity is to free resources then spinning is completely counter to that and I have to believe having people exit to classroom would be better. There are so many players in game just spinning. Remove the spinning glitch in favor of the classroom onhold status, then you will have freed up enough resources to extend the time much longer
