AFK Leveling

[Mini_M]

I don't see why people are getting offended when I mentioned multiboxing, never did I once say multiboxing is wrong and if someone multiboxes its not my problem.

You see in a situation where people are AFK leeching you can always leave those people, kick them out, etc. Those people you have kicked out of your party obviously are going to need a secondary method to get more people to party with so they have to multibox.

Being AFK while gaining SP is the real problem here regardless of how they do it, whether it be botting, AFK leeching in a party with other players or multiboxing. Gaining SP while AFK has always been looked down upon in any MMO, why should some players get an advantage over others because of a flawed game mechanic.

What's the difference between multi-box and not, though?

I mean what are you saying is the problem? Four LS members agree to level as a static. They take turns hooking on to 1 player and letting him run leves with full link while they DL porn. Who cares? What's the difference between that and me playing 4 characters by myself? It's consensual and it doesn't concern anyone else.

Edit:
I mean if you're talking about some stranger (such as in Behest) just following the group without pulling out their weapon ... can't you just kick that person or not invite them next time? I know that's how I deal with that situation. It's something you can control when it affects you personally.

Currently people leech/powerlevel/whatever the same way as other MMOs. Let's have SE come up with another way of leveling to prevent this because their current way to stop the RMT didn't affect us at all.

Leechers will always find a way to leech but why do you care so much? Will they affect the economy drastically like the RMT?

You also enlightened yourself on the matter so I guess you just didn't notice.

You know what I get from this? Translation: leechers will find an easy way regardless of the methods applied.

Of course unless the methods are severe enough to impact the majority of the playerbase(legit players).
