I can log on, alt tab out to read the news, have a few cups of coffee, eat breakfast, grab a shower, go through a morning routine, be AFK for an hour or more, come back and still be fine.

Then later on in the day, I can chat with my guild, run around the city and play the game. Take a few minutes for a bathroom break, come back and find that I’ve been booted.

Seriously…

Report it as a bug.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I think it’s possible that zones where there is no penalty for being logged out (ie cities), the afk timer may be shorter too.

You are correct. It’s been like this though for over 3 years. It doesn’t seem consistent at all. AFK in LA for 10 minutes and then kicked. Later I can be AFK for over an hour and still not get kicked in the same exact spot. I think it’s been broken since day 1 but isn’t really a huge enough thing to be looked at.

I would also add that chatting doesn’t seem to count as being at the keyboard, which seems an odd omission.
