    It's nice to see a few counter measures! ^-^

    Does sending friend requests and tells as well shouting count as actions?

    Even if they aren't, the RMTs can just program the bots to jump once every 10 minutes. THAT won't be counted as afk.

    They did this shortly after 2.0 was released, and within minutes people found a work around; Talking to an NPC/Retainer Bell and AFKing effectively let you AFK without being kicked.

    Wonder if they've taken that into account this time.

    That scene ruined the experience for me, because there was 0 blood for any of the dismemberment that occured.

    The afk measure isn't against RMT, it's because when 2.0 released there were insanely long queue times and server crashes because there was no system in place to kick afk players.
