Considering the likelyhood of long queues, especially with 5+ characters, it would be great to be able to stay in once you get in, even if you have to eat dinner or take an extended bio break...

Are there any legit ways that don't violate the ToS that can help you stay logged in once you are in if you have to go AFK for a bit?

For example, if you are in an instance or an inn can you auto-run into a corner to stay logged in if you have to go AFK?
