The bigger issue of course being that if we start giving links to CIP that players who are logging in instantly etc are also generating certain patterns, they will have more evidence to ban more people (it only makes sense that they will use statistical analysis to improve their methods). I don't know if DarkstaR plans to implement an auto logout function, I suspect not though. The fact is we have an exit command which also disables alarms by ending the Tibia and XB process, which actually is probably far more productive than it would be to just logout (and potentially leave Tibia pointlessly lingering with alarms running etc), especially when you consider that the only real thing in favor of a logout function is data preservation, and that can be dealt with using a combination of HUDs and Screenshots... There is no solid argument which I can name in favor of a logout function, for the reasons listed above.
It's nice of you to share though, don't get me wrong, I like and appreciate that your idea was well founded.
