Your body also works as a temporary barrier for other players who wish to move through you. Normally this isn't a problem, but let's say you choose to go afk in a doorway with 20 other players who are also afk in that doorway. Now you're gridlocking which is against the rules.

Being afk is not against the rules. Having your avatar defend you is not against the rules. But it IS possible to combine these 2 things in a way that IS against the rules: absentee play.
