How the hell is that AFK killing? 10 second clip of a pet killing a guard? Do you not know how mages work? lol
While I don't know what you do for a living, I am 100% sure you are not a detective.

Do you understand how easy this makes 2-boxing? I’ve had a paid VPN service for YEARS. So can I now AFK camp my alts and PL them with my main character? Like how exactly can a GM do a 2-box test if the other player is allegedly AFK? I already know the answer because I’m starting to see this happen everywhere. I’ve never thought about cheating, but now I feel like an idiot who is gimping himself because everyone else I know is doing it.

Its really simple. The GM's come and observe, if they see one or both players not moving for long enough, they issue a test. If one player is "afk", iirc, they give you 5 mins or whatever it is to come back before its assumed your a box and the banhammer drops. GM's have said multiple times if you have to afk for more than 10-15 mins its best to just log out so as to not risk a boxing test if your in a duo/trio.

How long does one have to be afk to be considered "too long" afk?
Can I go take a piss? a dump? Sometimes that takes a while when things turn into a shit-to-shower situation.
Can I go make a sandwich?
Talk my wife off the ledge?
Can I sit there youtubing on another screen while pet kills stuff?

Also, does anyone know what situation nilbog put this rule in place for or how the original intent of the rule has been misinterpreted since then? Does anyone care? Are folks so self righteous that they think they can apply it like a blanket to any situation?

On green? Not sure anyone cares.

Obviously salty when another mage took your spot / guard camp.
Boohoo ~ I am gonna record him and put it on youtube and P99 forum to get him flamed.

Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it.

I have many clips over a very long time of this going on. The Mage parks their pet to aggro two of the guards upon spawn and the pet kills them. Neither player moves and the Mage doesn’t nuke. I didn’t post all of the links because I figured people had better things to do than watch a million minutes of people AFK exping, but if you’re saying you have all that free time I’d be happy to post the rest of the videos from over an hour of this happening

Try again. I was working from home and only wanted one of the spawns so that I could get some exp every 6:40. So no, they weren’t taking any camp of mine. They were killing those two and I was killing one spawn. I began recording videos once I saw them start doing this for an extended period of time
