uh, that's the thing. not everyone is afking. if they were all afking, there wouldn't be any trouble skillchaining with the npcs, now, would there? often times there's around 7-12 active people who will listen to you, and with two nations worth plus those at the behemoth you're aiming for, it's more than enough to win.

Trust me. I tried this, and it worked like a charm. got thanked for it as well, since some people have been there for most of the day trying to win, lol.
