I agree with number 1, #2 however no... Ncwest changed to a AWS host which charges them by the usage of data. If you log in and do nothing, they get charged for the data the server is sending your client(s). That's why they have the auto kick feature on to remove us for being afk for too long. It's also why we won't be seeing any AFK events in the future probably. If you want to force change, voice your concerns LOUDLY on the forums, don't spend money on the game, but keep playing for FREE.
