AFK Leveling

Mini, just ignore Kitty.

Simple Solution: Kick an AFKer. Not in your party? Tough luck.

...and before you get confused I'm not flaming you.

I just have a contrary opinion.
It's called having a discussion or a debate.

Sorry gonna have to agree with Mini here, I see this happen as well but nothing I can do about it. Glad I don't have to deal with this anymore lol.

Mini your the one who is flaming others. I highly suggest you look up the term NEET. then get back to me.

Getting sp/exp afk isn't a flawed system. W/o it would be a flawed system. And I can safely say you have rose colored glasses when talking about ffxi. And also the only reason it was looked down on, was people assumed the worst or of others. Like then force dcing when their power gets cut out, or having a family emergency and suddenly going afk w/o a word. Do you honestly know how it feels to have to run to the hospital find out both your granparents just died, get back to a game you left running and find about 3 pages worth of insults? That isn't a great feeling. Trust me.

Also In ffxi is was never easy to get a replacement right away. And people still got peeved if you had to leave or go afk. Honestly the only flaw is peoples attitudes, not the afk leechers. Learn the full story, or don't complain. What other people do is none of yoir concern. It don't effect you. So please just get over yourself

Oh lol so many angry peeple in da thread. Yeah Mini seems to think like he knows everything, but yeah nothing you can do about AFK leechers just let them be until SE decides to do sumthin about it.

I'm not mad just surprised at the amount of people getting so offended, if you don't like it don't read it and don't reply its just that simple.

I haven't flamed anyone I haven't mentioned a single person's name in any of my posts, but people are obviously getting buttmad over a thread in a *cough* game. Please stop replying if you have nothing constructive to say, voice your opinions all you want about AFK leechers whether it be for or against but if you're only going to outright flame me a GM is probably already getting ready to delete your post.

It's not that simple. This would be great if you were just venting. Unfortunately your first sentences says "To the Devs" and since I disagree with you and there's no "Dislike" button, I can only do MY part by vocalizing how I think you're being inconsiderate and nosy when it doesn't impact you or the overall game at all.

I've listed several ways you could control YOUR situation to minimize the discomfort this causes you. If the devs think everyone feels the way you do and opt to change this in the game mechanics that will inconvenience me and my family and I will be powerless to control it.

So to the Devs: AFK leveling is being exploited by players having and utilizing multiple dummy accounts. Start charging money and this will sort itself out. You'll either make more money, or people will have less accounts to link their leves with. There's no need to take away a system of play that applies to a select group of individuals who want to get multiple characters level using minimal effort as it pleases them.

Note: It does make some players cranky when they see it at Broken Water, though. Please be aware of that.

Random SP again would be out of the question since people would only cry and whine about it again.

People report botting all the time but not AFK leeching because they think its ok or probably do it themselves.

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.

I haven't flamed anyone I haven't mentioned a single person's name in any of my posts, but people are obviously getting buttmad over a thread in a *cough* game.

You have flamed us since we are these "people" you speak of. So i'm going to give it to you straight.

Stop being so damn nosy and minding others people business as it does not affect you unless you invite the no skilled idiot to a party(which then you can still kick them). You know what SE have for those that afk leech? it's called the "kick" button and it's a very amazing feature. As soon as an afk leech is spotted do not hesitate to use such godly powers against them.

edit: Once SE start charging for accounts a lot less people will exploit this. However their will be some and the fact still stands it doesn't affect you. The economy won't be overrun like the RMT which is a lot more important than someone AFK and a sucker allowing him/her/it to gain xp.

I'm not flaming you either. Just sick of people like you, treating people like me with disrespect over a VIDEO GAME.

Honestly those who take video games so seriously, as to insult others for difference in play style, going afk, going afk for a long time w/o a word, auto following, multiboxing even to the extremes with out knowing the full story, should be classified as a NEET.
As they care WAY to much about what other people do on a video game.

It is borderline crazy. When did games stop being about having fun? Why do people have to treat mmo like a boot camp or strict work place?

Like I saud know the full story before assuming the worst. Or your no better then the people you dislike.
