If people want to socialize they can do so at house/gang house or inside any building. If they're going to be AFK that long then maybe there should be some sort of punishment so they'll *gasp* turn the game off. Start is INCREDIBLY laggy (with both iPhone 4 and iPad 1st gen and no it's not my connection) so it does affect other players. I have to take the long way around to avoid the entire area. My two cents...
