I'm possibly crazy because I actually read through every post in this topic.

This topic is obviously about mass organization of AFK leeching (note the screenshot that was posted about 5 pages back showing the type of mass organization that is occurring right now), it isn't about people taking toilet breaks while in a party or having to cook dinner and auto-following while you cook up a storm.

I don't however see an obvious fix for this exploit without once again changing the SP system which I don't fancy relearning again and again and again, but I am hopeful for the new battle system that SE has promised us.
