(Sorry for my poor knowledge about english 
)
)Everybody has a screensaver. Majority of software doesn't interact with screensaver. You could scan your PC for viruses and your screensaver stay in activity.
In SWG, you are automatically disconnected after 20 minutes of inactivity. But a simple macro could interact withSWG disconnecting system and avoir the losse (loose ?) of connection.
Is it not possible to build a system like windows, where only a physical keyboard (or mouse) activity can interact with screensaver program ? This kind of system could avoid AFK spamming and hunting.

personally i use weapon switching macro to avoid disconnecting if I'm dancing or need to eat or whatever..
put a macro in F1 and name it wep_switch
put a weapon in F2 and another in F3
in your macro just type this
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 120;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause 120;
/macro wep_switch
you'll never get disconnected, even when you're in /afk mode

To avoid being auto disconnected, you just need to start a looping macro that does any emote.
afkmacro
/yawn
/pause 100
/macro afkmacro

With teh current system in place, evern if you use an emote and have Auto-AFK on when you ge back you see that you are marked as AFK. Why can't they just use that system for kicking people?
Also, remove the /macro and /ui action toolbarslot command. Yes it would be bad for the people that use these commands for legit reasons, but I would gladly give it up.

The current auto-disconnect system is for the birds tho, as the poster is pointing out.
As an example a couple of days ago, I'm in the middle of a long conversation with a friend I haven't seen online for a while and I get disconnected. Why? Not because my keyboard wasn't active, not because I wasn't in SWG doing something, but because my TOON hadn't moved for 20 minutes. I can understand disconnecting people that are not doing anything, butif I'm working on a vendor for 20 minutes but haven't moved the toon, I should notget disconnected. As it is though,if Iauto loop an action like stand I can stay on all day and be no where near my computer?
Sure would be nice to see SWG fix this. Of course this prob isn't the right forum to be complaining about this in, lol

What is really funny is that here you are booted if you go AFK, but in EQ2(SOEs other game) you are required to go afk to sell and you never get disconnected.
