Attacking Monsters with an Avatar While Being AFK
Recently, we have confirmed an issue wherein players in Grauberg (S) will leave their summoned avatars out while they’re AFK and let the avatars attack monsters by using the auto-counter attack system. Also, we have confirmed that these players have gained experience points and items through this act.
Not only does this act upset the game balance, it may interrupt the game play of other players. Any players caught performing the act by a Game Master (GM) may see disciplinary action taken against their accounts. Therefore, we ask that you please refrain yourself from performing this act.
Please be advised that a GM may request assistance from you if they determine that your actions may be causing a disruption in the game balance. If you received instructions from a GM, we ask that you follow them immediately. If you do not follow the instructions, as stated previously, the GM will take action against your account.
If you encounter a player performing this act, please do not hesitate to report them to the Special Task Force via the URL listed below. The Special Task Force and the GMs will work together to investigate the matter accordingly.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.
I am not with or against it, But if the system allows it, This should not be a problem with balance, also this could totally be taken as harassment on the companies part, now we have to worry about if our pets are out if we plan to AFK in the near future.
I see people dual boxing without others being at their coms all that time, having them on auto-follow. What makes this any different. Only problem I see, BST, PUP and DRG not having the auto-counter attack system.
If you gotta go, you gotta go and if having this auto-counter attack system on every pet job would balance things out, we could all totally AFK and take or leave a $#@! in peace, (might get some nomnoms on the way back).
