New AFK Leveling Rules

[LadyPhoenix]

Well if you look at a lot of the mainstream MMO's, you'll notice that a lot of them are going away from hardcore gamers and leaving more towards being a casual gamer-friendly environment. This is especially more so or F2P games. Mainly because it's the casual gamers who are addicted enough to the game to spend money but they're also not so addicted that they have no life outside of the game. Most hardcore gamers are hardcore because they can play all day due to lack of school/jobs but since the person only plays all day, they won't have a large source of income to spend towards the game.

Also AFK leeching can be considered a "safer" way of going up to your friend and saying "help me lvl my char. I'll give you my ID/PW and you just afk my char when you lvl and talk on it if the GM shows up". Since DRG allows for legal multi-clienting on 1 computer, it's easy to open multiple clients an just afk chars next to the ones you're actually playing. This way, you get the exp from now playing because a non-afk person is logged on your char which gives almost the same results as if the owner is logged on the char but just afk.


PS: I'm not for nor against AFK leeching. Just helping Cupid with his argument.

wtf? why does my reply go ontop of yours when I replied after?

[Jarlaxle]

Still against anything afk regardless of reason. People are just trying to compete with hardcore gamers but you can't if you are casual gamer.

I'm against making your own characters/macro's and party to level yourself and afk leeching. I really wish the staff would of stood there ground and allowed no macro's but autoclicker.

OMFG!! you're still missing the point. LP could get me why can't you?
this is not what you're thinking of. so please stop replying our post

forget it. I'll just tab to my friends character and answer the question.
you can see that it doesn't matter if the AFK leeching rule is there or not.
I just think that this tabbing action is unnecessary to do.
(I might lead the pit to the safe spot/area.)

Q1: AFK attacking Dummy in town allowed right?

Q2: If a group of 7 players in party are leveling at 1 spot, 1 was AFK, GM/RC appear and ask the 1 player went to toilet (have a big one - shitting) about 10 mins+ also didnt reply, consider ban too?

[LadyPhoenix]

Q1: yes
Q2: the 1 player will get warning/ban

[AntheMz]

Q2: How if the 6 players have told GM/RC the 1 player went to toilet having a big one?

player should leave the party / disconnect / go to safezone

player should leave the party / disconnect / go to safezone

isent that really a bit extreme?

I am not one to complain, but true afk training is when there is some one that has there avatar standing in 1 location killing a static monster, like in the man eating plants
