Dear AFK dude in Castrum

I applaud you, OP. Though SE may not be actively working to punish these people (right now, anyway), there should be some tangible punishment for these people's behavior.

I will also do this if someone is being a really, really caustic jerk in party chat. Racial slurs, etc. People seem to shape up pretty fast if you make it clear to them that they're not as anonymous as they think they are.

You cant report someone for taking it easy in a Dungeon or following and doing a few spells here and now they can play the way they want which SE has said about these issues. Quit with this report them crap quit wearing your emotions on your dam sleeves and maybe you wont go crying to mommy (se) every time someone makes you mad : ( so sad.

FYI quit being so dam lazy and start you own group instead of clicking spam on df.

This guy obviously AFKs castrum.

I did the same thing to someone on my Server who was AFK'ing in castrum groups all afternoon. Took a screenshot of his "thx for carry" message at the end of the run and posted it on his FC forum. Also told his FC leader about it.

He is no longer in that FC.

After two wipes on the 2nd boss, we all decided to leave. I'm kind of glad because even if we had kept at it and pushed through, dude would have been able to come back and just walk through to the exit.

I've solo healed CM at least three times now as a WHM. I've had WAR/PLD, PLD/PLD and WAR/WAR as tanks and each time it was just fine. The first time it happened my group wanted to quit after waiting 25 minutes for a replacement and I had to talk them into at least trying since our only options were, obviously, to try or leave. I guess that's not all totally relevant but solo healing CM can definitely be done and easily at that.

Who doesn't like running the same Dungeon over and over??? I know I do. I especially love waiting in the DF for over an hour each time for anything as a DPS.. its awesome! I especially enjoy not being able to PM people in a dungeon.. EVEN better.

I get tons of people afking CM runs. I'd say 1/3 of the time. I even had 2 guys from the same fc letting their other "bro" afk in the run like it was fine. I'm getting a lot of afkers coming up with clever excuses now too. Like "sorry guys family emergency" or "my kid" then they conveniently always come back RIGHT when the dungeon is over. I can't post here on the forums the kind of language I want to use for these scumbags. Where is the vote kick feature.

I really wished the dungeon finder wasn't present. Nothing of this would have ever happened to begin with. Sorry for being harsh.

You don't have to be accountable for your actions when you'll likely never meet these people again. And what if you meet them again? Just shrug it off and afk. You can be a terrible person all you like as long as you don't have to deal with a reputation.
