Did you even monitor featherfalls ?
People standing there 24/7 (alt accounts, probably 2nd PC or Virtual machine running) not moving, doing absolutely nothing but collecting stuff while not actively playing.
That is AFK at its best, no other way around it.
AFK timers are way too easy to bypass.

After discussing this internally, we’ve decided that this goes against the spirit of the game. It’s a form of botting, and we have a zero-tolerance policy against botting. We don’t want Boundless to turn into an AFK game; there are plenty of games for you to do that, but this isn’t one of them.
