AFK players in low level groups.
Anyone else experiencing this? I haven't played much since a little after the Green launch, but I'd bet a good 80% of the groups I've been in the last week or so have had a plague of ninja afk's. Now I get that the low levels are pretty risk-free for the most part, and people enjoy the game a little more casually - I enjoy the lower stress level involved myself. But I've seen people AFKing for almost half the time they're in the group in some instances, and not only doesn't anyone say anything, but you get a lot of "relax bro" if anyone does.
Funny enough though, I've grouped with three wizards in this time-frame, and not a single one of them pulled this. | ||

Yeah I have seen that a lot. I'm not trying to be an asshole here but the best answer is PvP.

Most of necros, mages and wizards, (to a lesser extent druids) I've grouped with on Green in pickup groups were very AFKish.
If I am the group leader, I'm pretty liberal with /disband, usually wakes them up pretty quickly. | ||

For me it's been a lot of healers over in the orc groups, mostly shaman and clerics, that just disappear unannounced. One thing I've noticed though is that when people start getting skipped over for belts, they start paying more attention.
I'm glad I'm not the only person this is happening to, though. Was starting to think maybe I was just being an asshole. | ||

I'm currently not playing (wish I could) so I haven't experienced it.. but um, if you join my group and are AFK for more then a few mins un-announced I'm booting your butt out my group lol.

But yeah, if someone is abusing your time, just kick them out.

It would be an interesting new way to play eq if you tried to AFK your way to 60. I bet a lot of p99ers could say they’ve afkd a great majority of the way but idk if someone has been able to 90%+ it.
Idk. I actually play way less lately partially because I know with kids I’ll need to afk randomly and sometimes often. I just can’t play eq half assed and expect others to carry me even if I can get away with it. Also it kind of defeats the purpose of playing the game if you’re not actually going to play it.

A magical thing occurs when they've been kicked after 5-10 minutes of inactivity.
They reappear in the next 30 seconds, guaranteed. | ||
