anti-afk not working - Anarky - 11-27-2013
Hey there, I've reported in the live chat abt a day ago regarding the anti-afk system on minion not working as it should be.
So basically I've set minion to gather mode, with a small mesh for an unspoiled node so that i could let minion do the work for me while i head out/to bed. However, because unspoiled nodes only respawn every 24 hrs eorzea time, or more than an hr IRL, FF14 auto kicks me out of the server and i return to FF running cinematics instead.
I hope Stefan (the guy on livechat who responded to my query) informed you guys abt it and will fix it in the next patch =)

But yeah I have also noticed anti-afk not working sometimes...

It resets the timer when a skill is used or when the bot is navigating. Its not broken.
RE: anti-afk not working - Anarky - 11-27-2013
Sry that wasn't the impression i had regarding anti-afk. I thought minion had a function built-in to reset the timer automatically even if i'm not navigating/gathering/grinding, because well, of cases like mine where unspoiled nodes take 72 minutes to respawn and FF14's auto-kick happens after 30 minutes of inactivity.
<MMOMinion>: <Stefan> no, I think someone forgot to add back some functions in the recent changes
<MMOMinion>: <Stefan> you should never log out when the bot is attached
<MMOMinion>: <Stefan> we'll fix it asap
<MMOMinion>: <Stefan> thanks for reporting
side-note: i did find a work-around for this, by cloning another marker 5 yalms away and setting timers on both so minion navigates from time to time (although it cancelled mining mid-way and the node disappeared, will test further to see if this is viable) :EDIT: ok this failed terribly i'm still unable to get this to work

You could just make a simple script that uses a skill every 15-20 mins or so until we can add a checkbox to turn on the anti-afk permanently.
