If they were truly afk at the holgresh, what's the point?

They'd miss the beads if they dropped, thus defeating the point.

I don't think there's a rule about not being allowed to be lazy and let your pet do all the work for you.

As others have said. People use GINA to play audio trigger when an Elder spawns so they can check it. People never get caught cause they always stay nearby their PC while they're doing it to respond to tells and make sure they catch if an elder spawns. But they're still likely AFK watching TV or playing another game alt tabbed and just checking EQ when an audio trigger pops.

Remember finding some filthy gnome mage afk exping guards in Oggok once. Petitioned, GM showed up, despawned his pet, then we watched as the Bouncer mangled him. Then the GM moved his corpse in the middle of the warrior guild.

GOOD TIMES.

How did GMs handle AFK camping on live? Is this policy classic?

I was asking because I suspected it from two players last night and wanted to know before I petitioned, I never saw them move and they werent responding to my tells

Why would you petition someone afk killing a static spawn with a pet for 50% of a low blue or high green? Who cares this much?

Sounds like dirty afk camper logic.

Petition this guy.

On live, in the beginning, i'm pretty sure they didn't even want you logged in just sitting there. The GM's would log you off. IIRC.

In later years, my last attempt at live around 2008...people would afk at a certain spot in the Hole and pet farm. According to global chat the GMs didnt bother trying to stop it anymore...probably due to staffing/casual abandonment of EQ1 for other things.
