Getting kicked for inactivity versus staying in game inactive

[Kylie Kinslayer]

I have been running 3 accounts a good bit (in CC). At times one or two accounts just bank sit or when something comes up in rl I just leave all 3 accounts standing in safe areas. The strange thing is one of the accounts gets kicked with the 'you have been inactive' deal after a few minutes like normal.. the other 2 accounts can stay in game for hours while doing nothing... this happens even when they are all 3 in the exact same area (usually on WBB roof or on platform at Roof).

All of the accounts have the same preferences etc, none are running any auto macros, and I can't figure out why those two stay in game without getting kicked. Anyone ever able to figure something out on that front?

Been like this for years
The other people passing by keep your account active ingame

Yeah, I know that... but this same thing happens when all 3 accounts are in the same place with the same people walking by. That same account even gets kicked then.

Odd...

All three have the journal open?

Nah, none of them do.

It also happens the same way no matter if the chat is open/closed. Also being in/out of party seems to have no impact. I remember at one time party leader would seldom get kicked.

Mine all stay in game or they all are kicked.
