AFK status triggers too fast

GGG I'm happy that now we can see who's AFK and all that in poe.trade but, I personally think that clicking something every 5 minutes for the game to not trigger AFK status is very very annoying. I mean I have a feeling that a lot of the people like me are not really AFK when they have POE on.

I'm always close to my keyboard just maybe doing some other stuff, laying in bed, watching TV or something and when I get PM'ed, I immediately jump to my PC. My concern is that first of all, as I have mentioned already it's annoying to move your character every several minutes. Secondly, which is worse a lot of people might not whisper you if they see you with AFK status like me for example, rather on rare occasions.

So could you guys at GGG somehow extend that timer and make poe.trade show AFK status when a person is away for like 15-20mins? Oh C'mon, you could as well ass go take a dump or whatever and meanwhile the game gonna f*ck up your status in poe.trade (sorry for swearing). This just might often mess up your trades and I don't think it is a good thing. Some adjustment to this feature would be very welcome because currently it's just meah. Thanks for reading.

So you are AFK but you don't want to be flagged as AFK. Makes sense.

to be fair, being alt-tabbed will mark one as afk, even if one is actively at the keyboard... and using it.

i'm probably listed as AFK right now.

So it is a problem to have to play the game so that it recognises you as playing the game.

Cool, just checking.

This thread just ticks all the logic boxes, right off the bat.
