So it's okay to go AFK for 30 minutes to meditate or chloroplast heal but
not to Hymn? So are all caster buffs going to end when the caster logs off
so they can't park an enchanter nearby just to clarity and log him on and
off? Plain and simple this is stupid. It's another example of where
probably some bard was sitting AFK on the planes and now we all have to be
nerfed because someone abused the situation. Heaven forbid they should
handle this by putting in an auto logoff when someone is inactive for more
than 10 minutes like most games do.

Absor has asked everyone to switch to a different thread on this:

I'd have to agree with Lago on Verant's reasoning that this is to keep us
from going AFK indefinitely.
