I have no idea why Disney would ban you for being AFK? They put the option to be AFK in the game to be used by people who are "Away From Keyboard". I know many times I have kept the game on to go get a snack, answer the phone, or visit the head to drop off a little "cargo". It is a very handy option, I have been AFK on my own ship many times while another mate takes the wheel who might need to level, and does not have a war-ship. You can go AFK and be more than safe on the new Port Royal or Tortuga just about any place in town, no enemies are going to pop up and bite you outside the Rowdy Rooster. Now you can be moved while AFK, I have been moved and moved other AFK players (good friends from guild only though). I do not see any issue with being AFK, and people who just leave the game running constantly while being AFK for hours at a time are going to waste a great deal of their systems life span doing nothing.
