Default Level 50s who over-farm content designed for players half their level.

Do you realize that people like you are literally the reason 90% of the zones are dead?
I'm glad to see that you're having a productive day at 'work' while your pet farms mobs for you though.

If you see someone afk farming with their pet report them via a petition, including logs, screenshots and if possible video. It's a violation of the server rules and greatly disrupts the balance of a fair even playing field for all players.
Just be sure they're actually afk [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is someone who tabs in once every 5 minutes less toxic than someone who tabs in once every 15 minutes? IMHO no. In either case I doubt anyone would tolerate this type of behavior in a group, so why is it rampant when holding camps literally everywhere?

I partly agree with OP when I saw lvl60 hogging/ farming 90% of the HG population (33-37 mobs) in RM at peak hours but it's also their right to spend hours fighting greens if they want to

But aside from faction, what can you actually farm being afk with a pet guarding you?

My theory is that they farm greens because they are more or less tabbed out of the game or otherwise AFK, and the more level appropriate content would wreck them without being tabbed in and actively playing their character.

They’re farming them to make some money to buy stuff. Which is exactly what you will be doing at a very high level when you want to buy something expensive. Quit whining

Are you an actual idiot? I have multiple level 50s on green, bud.

I'm leveling my first solo class and have spent 2 days looking for a camp that is open. It would be one thing if I saw level 30s farming level 30 content, but it's always level 50s. I woke up early to try and get a camp, and that actually backfired since most level 50s choose easier content to AFK farm while at "work." (Always had a real/essential job, so that blows my mind).

It's so crazy that when I'm playing my alt and I tell my friends that things are being camped by level 50s... they don't even believe me. They're like why in the hell would a level 50 be farming that? There's so much easier/better ways to make money. The reality is they are farming that because they can do it while AFK.

I agree, if you're farming something you should submit to a pupil scan every thirty seconds which verifies that you are staring at the placeholder's spawn point and NOTHING ELSE, or else you forfeit the camp to a happy six man group of roleplaying halflings who surely feel despondent IRL that you are monopolizing their XP content.
