If I’m standing or not moving far in a city like Ironforge for a prolonged period of time even with chatting or auctioning I will get disconnected. Sometimes I do get the cancel logout button but most of the time not. No problems doing anything else.
This problem still exists. Even if I’m doing actions or even moving around a small area, if I stay in the same general area for an extended period of time, the game disconnects me. Usually happens if I’m recruiting or working on weakauras. I guarantee you it’s a sneaky working as intended thing that Blizzard has in place to keep people from automating staying logged in.
Please do not resurrect old forum posts. If you are experiencing a technical issue and do not see a similar post from within the last 30 days, we recommend creating a new post with a description of what you are experiencing. Typically what might have caused an issue for a single user (This post had no other replies) is not likely going to be the same cause you are experiencing)
Additionally this forum is for potential troubleshooting with the community. So any advice you receive will be specific to that. If you feel this is a mechanic and not something you can or will troubleshoot, then I recommend posting either in the bug report forum if you feel the issue is a bug, or the general discussion if you are more looking to provide feedback or suggestions. This forum is for requesting localized troubleshooting from the community. (Side note, WoW also has a bug report form and a feedback form so you are welcome to use those as well)
