    I got kicked for AFK last night, while I was posting auctions. There’s never a queue on my server, so I was able to log right back in, but I’d have been really upset if there were.

    Good. I got kicked while fishing twice yesterday,

    I got kicked while actively using the trading post to list and buy several items earlier. Luckily, I haven't seen any queues all week so was able to log straight back in. I didn't realise before reading this article this was happening to lots of people.

    It's hard to detect and fight bots and cheaters while not affecting legit players too. There is a fine line to tread in that balance.

    I haven't tried fishing or trading since the change went into effect, but I did get booted once at storage for being gone a few minutes for a drink and break.

    How dare you take a break during a video game! That is probably punishable by death in some places!

    I am never going to play this game but it seems from the outside that Amazon is being pretty proactive or am I just not seeing the bad stuff?
