Is afking in chocobo races a bannable offense?

Then we should report people who don't skip the opening cutscene, cause that wastes time. Or report PS3 users because they take longer to load in. But yes, the quick synth was a bad example. I'm also terribly sorry that 30sec is that important to you. There are many more ways that that 30sec at the end of the match might be compensated or even longer depending on how long it takes the first place guy to cross right? This also is assuming that all racers cross at the same time as the first place dude and the whole 30sec is waiting on the last person.

PS: stamina depletes as you go, regardless of pushing your choco or not.

You're using horrible examples. People who take longer to load in are not doing so by choice. People who are watching the cut-scene are actually experiencing the content.

The afk'ing chocobo racer is both doing so by choice (for the most part), and is doing it because they don't want to actually race, but still want to reap the benefits of racing.

I don't really think it's that big of a deal, 30 seconds isn't much of my time, and we can't really tell if someone is afk'ing intentionally or un-intentionally all the time. But if you're going to make comparisons, make some that are actually worth comparing.
