Yes the AFKers count towards the objective totals...

Morovich...the idea is that people band together to complete the objectives that pop up. You generally get 60s to complete either a set amount of WSs (10 WSs are added to the total for each player in range of the Behemoth) set number of SCs or set number of speciifc element SCs. The behemoth is only damageable after completing an objective and only for a short time. Once 10-15 people show up the only reasonable objective to complete is the total WSs one but people AFK near the Behemoth or stand there autoattacking so it's impossible to hit the WS count. You have 60s for the objective and you can do a WS every 6s so if someone is AFK or just autoattacking you CANNOT hit the target.
