AFK Leveling

[Kilta_Firelotus]

Here is a possible senairo (something that really happen in ffxi)

your in a group with a healer, he is a dad with a 7 year old. And is only one home. 7 year old starts choking on He told hos party g2g, party forces him to look for a rep. Guy says he can't, leader starts bad mouthing the guy. While the dad was typing kid collaspes and later dies.

The time it took him to type out g2g was time needed to save the kid.

So ya real life over a game. If you have a issue, just remember this is a video game. The players your group with have no strong connection to you in emergencies. And in most cases have no time to type g2g and drop.

Think about that next time you try to insult an "afk leecher". You do not know the full story.

i hate to say it, and this is gonna sound bad, but what happens IRL has nothing to do with the game period
if you are kicked, deal with it
if you are yelled at and insulted for it, deal with it

personal lives and in game lives are not connected, and you can not hold people accountable for it, which is what you want to do

i dont are about your real life story nor does 99.9% of the other players you may encounter

as a parent i cant help but think that too

as a parent i cant help but think that too

there is a disclaimer when you start up the game and all =p

[Kilta_Firelotus]

the insults may have been uncalled for but remember this

they dont know whats going on in your rl
and they shouldnt have to care, i know i wouldnt


everyone gets mad when people leech, and you, looked like a leech, period

as you state, this is a game, take it like one, you seem to get rather offended and defensive over it being just a game, so please, take your own advice

no matter how ya spin it, you are in the wrong. Doing what you are doing is imature. Getting mad of such petty bs is pretty pathetic.
Try this out take time. Kick the person or leave, next time they are in your group ask them what happen and take it with a grain of salt.

Infact most of this topic isn't about party members leeching, it you guys ASSUMING your seeing otrher people leech.

Learn the whole story before assuming the worst. Then maybe people would stick into your LS, cuz spreading gossipe about others is pretty nasty.

I know you can be a good person if you tried.

personaly i dont insult people when i kick them, im not condoning that
but i also dont condone any form of afk leveling PERIOD, which is what this thread is about

if you cant be at the computer, be prepared to deal with the consequences regardless of what they are

that is the ifnal point, and the only real truth there is

Did you every think the kid was watching tv in the same room and was choking on food? see always assuming the worst outa ppl. You guys need mmo breaks if your gonna act the way you do. Sorry but there is no excuse to get mad at people over a video game and insult them over petty reasons. Leeching isn't a crime like you assume it is. If someone leeches understand something may of happen and just boot them. No need for insults, no need to assume the worst of ppl.

Also stop twisting what I'm righting. And take your own advice, since your clearly are not. If my life is none of your concern, why even have this topic up and agree with it. Since that is what the topic is about. People caring on what other people do in a video game.

once again, NO ONE CARES about whats happening in the players real life
this is a game, not real life, we play the game to play the game, not to worry about what everyone else is doing irl
its entertainment, not a soap opera about other peoples real lives


if you are afk in game, you are afk in game, and you deserve everything you get for leeching

I wouldnt just plop down a plate of food to my kid so i could play an mmo =p also your example is funny, he wouldnt have time to type g2g kid choking, but he has time to set someone on auto-follow? XD hehe im just givin you a heard time. When doing leves and someone has to use the restroom i always tell them to just set me on autofollow so that we dont have to sit around waiting on someone, we can continue and keep things rolling XD
