I normally have some minor issues with the idle kick timer being a bit aggressive.

Today, in WvW, I began receiving the suppression message. I had typed a total of two sentences since login, the first of which was more than 7 minutes prior to the suppressed message. Since then, I have been unable to use the chat box without receiving a suppression message.

While that was occurring, I was actively moving around from the TP in Citadel to the Armour Repairer, and I got the idle kick timer 50 second warning. Then got it again, still 50 seconds, then again also 50 seconds.

This is getting somewhat ridiculous. I understand you guys have to suppress spam, and I understand that you don’t want the load of AFKers (and the issues it could have with game mechanics). Both of the afore mentioned situations are excessive though. It is one thing to protect the game, it’s another to make it unplayable.

Regularly, I will receive the idle kick timer while I am actively using the TP. I am then forced to close the TP, because for some reason when it’s open it captures all keyboard input even if it doesn’t have focus.

Please address these issues. I highly doubt that I am the only one receiving these errors.

I’ve not been getting the idle warnings, but the rest of it is very familiar.

Still no bug. Look for a specific subforum to make suggestions.

AeroJavi, are you suggesting that highly aggressive idle timers and suppression are intentional?

Here is a screenshot of what I’m talking about... http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3696/3s86.jpg

In 3 minutes time, I was only permitted to send 1 message without getting suppressed. The only message permitted was:
"se tower rear wall 30% need more"

The first suppressed message to /team chat was:
"se tower rear wall 10%"

The second was the same message to /say chat, the third message was me trying to ask someone else next to me in /say chat to announce the 10% wall in /team for me due to suppression.

The final suppressed message before I took the screenshot to report and post was to /say chat again and was 2 minutes later:
"4m indig"

How am I expected to compete in WvW if I cannot relay pertinent information to fellow team members?

...and another screenshot of an aggressive idle kick timer. Notice the chat box, I was actively running into Hills and chatting at 2:35PM. The idle kick timer appeared at 2:36PM.
