Players abusing Performance mode to AFK

[KthAura]

I'm sure this has been circulating but it looks like people leveled up Bard to be able to bypass the AFK timer. Some players use a third party app to play music without player input and just keep it running.

Definitely the true culprit of this whole situation is AFK players and bots. I hope they can tackle this in a way that they can get rid of such issues until the excitement dies down.

They already stated that using the instrument function will not save you from the 30min boot

There are multiple "culprits." People avoiding AFK restrictions is a component. SE not having the infrastructure to handle player load (and refusing to buy more because the prices are admittedly ridiculous because of shortages) is another component. Both are causes, both should be acknowledged.
