AFK Leveling

[Akira]

a simple fix tot his would be have it like the old system but still the same sp what i mean by that is you have to at least hit the mob once to get sp. this way sp is still the same but you cant afk and get it

Leaving doesn't solve the problem, the problem will still be there. Yeah I'm not ok with this kind of behavior ruining an already dying game if SE's motto was to stop RMT and botting, I don't see how AFK leveling is any less of a concern for them.

Well RMT are people making real money off their real product so I could see why they would be more concerned about that.

There's no way to stop this, let the people who want to do it do it. They didn't earn their levels, they don't know how to play their jobs, they don't know about proper party mechanics or battle regimens. They're pretty much just bad players in general.

I'd rather they not do something to try to stop this and end up hurting legitimate players (like measures against RMT).

I think you're making the problem seem bigger than it is though. Aside from maybe a handful of people doing it, I doubt this goes on very much, and is pretty rare. If someone is going to willingly be someone else's ***, and just let them leech, whatever, have a ball, at the end of the day its not affecting you. If it is, then kick the person from group or drop group. Even with how easy it is to level, its going to still take them considerable time to reach level cap with only that one person who will let them leech to get them their levels, most other people aren't going to tolerate it.

This. There are people that get to 50 on those jobs that have no idea how to play them or what to do with any of their abilities. It's the same as bot crafters. I would think most don't even know which tool to HQ with when making some items if they even try to make something when rank 50.

This is why I'm hoping the new battle system will make it so every party member must contribute, in order for the pt to function properly. No system is perfect, but in XI if someone was just sitting afk or not paying attention, it showed.

Leaving these people to play by themselves isn't going to fix anything either. A solution to the lack of players linking in is multiboxing, yes multiboxing isn't a violation of the ToS but with our current SP system a single player can abuse and exploit the system.

Do you see those RMT running around with only one person killing while the rest only link into a leve to boost SP? Players are doing exactly that, and when you have 3 players multiboxing they only have to control 1 character each in a full 8 man party to effectively kill.

IF we were paying to play this game, do you think SE would care about this? That's 7 more accounts someone has to pay for just to rank up their character.

Edit: Btw, I'm not being rude. I'm seriously asking.
