AFK Leveling

[darkstarpoet1]

Bathroom break progress is a courtesy of the devs. It doesn't actually hurt you at all to kill your sp after you enter no commands for 400 sp.

so in other words half the sp off one mob

you would be upset in my parties since i kill most mobs before half the party can even get a hit in. you would only get sp off a few mobs instead of every mob that was killed. this would be exactly what i was talking about. you make rules to punish one and you punish everyone.

Not putting it in ends up hurting legitimate players.

I'm a legitimate player and it's not hurting me at all. I don't care if people have levels they didn't earn, that's on them. I know I earned my levels, I'm okay with that. I don't really care what other players do, that's their business if they want to be an R50 who doesn't know anything about the game. I'll just never group with them. No matter what the system in place is there will always be a way around it. If you have to use some action every 3 mobs people will either bot or just semi-afk and do the bare minimum.

Putting in a system to prevent afk leveling may not hurt me either depending on how it's done but I'd rather them just leave it as it is instead of having the potential to screw it up and hurt legitimate players more.

Because I hated PLD level 1 to 37 in XI, one night I put my friend on follow in the dunes. He phone called me when I hit 20 and then we went to qufim. I went back to bed. He called me a bit later, maybe two hours later, I was level 24. He took us to Kazham, and I went back to bed. Called me later and told me, "We are moving to Crawlers' Nest." Ran to Crawlers' Nest and went back to bed while I put him back on follow. Woke up and I was level 37 paladin. Trust me, these low ranks don't teach you how to play your character. This game is extremely 11111111111 at its current status. Did I know how to cast Flash on my RDM? Yes. Did I know how Sentinel worked? Yes. Does that make me a worse player than you for grinding on the same things over and over with auto-attack, which you would do at that level with the random skill chains? Does this effect you at all? No. Will there be posts about how you are upset I did this five years ago? Probably.

Every time someone says people won't know how to play their job at 50, I "lol."

The game is designed to let you create your own job and play your own way. That's like "Tanaka's vision" that people want to murder. Grinding to Rank 50 is basically "farming abilities." I play Conjurer. I want Defender II. I don't give 2 [cents] how to play Marauder at Rank 1, 25, 35, 50 or ever. Don't care. Simply want Defender. So I "lol" when you say I can't play my job (Conj) cause I auto-leveled Marauder. It's really funny.

This was clearly out of line, you should have turned yourself in criminal.

I can see this thread became a full troll with people not making the difference between going AFK while grinding and that full parties are made with AFK'ers and just one grinding for everyone.

What's the next posts? People bot in this game then 20 pages of spam with troll saying "it's ok to bot because the crafting system sucks?" Indeed it does, but 2 wrongs never made 1 right. just so you know.

Neither is the board. Go play a bit more instead of trying to talk about stuff you probably never encountered in this game and try to compare to XI.

Worse is that some of these people using the lazy-afk-parties-leveling is when they act as if they were some kind of l33t because they have 3~4 DOW/M jobs at 50. And adding a system to prevent this will end up hurting everyone but the people who actually make these AFK parties, so it's pointless.

What was out of line? Using the /follow command XI has? Being in party while asleep? I didn't do any actions but because of experience points I leveled up. So what is "out of line"? I did everything that is legal. Why does this make you so upset when it has no effect on you?

It was a joke (referring to turning yourself in ala SE's message about the healing exploit).
