AFK Leveling

[Mini_M]

The only people whining and defending AFK leeching are just do it themselves, you can justified your actions anyway you like the community is only going to see you as a AFK leecher.

Since people are getting confused or don't understand what this topic is about I'm going to spell it out for you.

Multiboxing does not violate the ToS.

Botting violates the ToS and botting is running a macro or a script that lets you gain sp while not at your screen.

AFK leeching is does not violate the ToS but it lets you gain sp while not at your screen. Which means it produces the same effect as botting.

Not mingling yourselves with AFK leechers, because you disapprove of their methods, would mean that those players would have to use methods that doesn't require other players to get the full effect of the game, hence multiboxing.

Who exactly is defending them? I think every post here is against afk leechers. However, the community(or atleast the majority posting here) knows that if someone is leeching then kick him/her out of the party. If you are allowing him/her to do it then you are being a sucker and can only blame yourself.

You are making such a big deal out of such an easily fixed problem that doesn't require SE to balance anything else.
People multibox...Who cares? That will be their money spent. How can SE stop this? What if someone gets on their wife's cpu and multibox so what then? SE will find and ban them? Seriously any company going this far is setting themselves up for failure and throwing resources out the window.

I repeat. STOP ALLOWING PEOPLE TO AFK LEECH OFF OF YOUR PARTY. YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME.

"Being AFK while gaining SPis 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."

Your really starting to get on my nerves. Or never truely played mmo to the fullest extact. It is because, people would need to go afk at times, and sometimes long durations. Like making dinner etc. Pretty much if they stop allowing people to get sp/exp while afk this forces them to have disband the party causing the leader to get a replacement (if there is one),, or he sticks with the group everyone out levels him, or the party must stop till they are back. We are not NEETS or robots and have things we need to do and needing to go afk. Like using the restroom or eatung dinner, or making dinner. So it isn't a flawed machanic.

And only reason it was looked down on is people assumed the worst.
