was just in the throne world fishing, about 80 or so bait in, when i got booted to orbit, losing all the fish on the ground including a handful of legendary fish and two exotics. extremely unfair and a spit in the face to have this happen.
Destiny 2 has an anti-AFK system where if a player isn’t interacting with the game enough they will be removed from the lobby. Single button/key presses and wiggling your mouse/thumb sticks is not enough, you must be moving about.
Also, it is highly recommended you pick up your fish immediately (takes 5 seconds or less) to avoid triggering a GUITAR error (occurs when there are too many objects on the ground).
The reason we have to constantly move around is stop people from using macros and other malicious tools to stay in the lobby.
Single button presses/minimal directional movement isn't enough to prevent the afk timer.
You should be picking up your fish every few minutes to avoid being kicked by the timer. It's unlikely that Bungie will change the afk timer for fishing.
