"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.
