Invasion Farmers

Post by Ollievrthecool » Mon 23 Sep , 2013 5:52 pm

On some maps, people spawn in totems or OP monsters and then go AFK to farm experience in a spot where no monsters can get them, which for other people who don't farm would take them ages to earn.

Could you add some kind of idle kicker after a certain amount of time would kick people for being AFK?

It is used on the Race/assault server so why not on this server?

That's exploiting. Effectively 'botting' by having something play for them while they are not at their computer.

Provide proof of this in action and they'll get banned / exp removed.

Maybe you should loose experience if you are in the same spot all the time. Once I was AFK cause I went to eat, but I did not notice if I earned points with it... how you earn experience and points being AFK? Unless you have a bot play for you... but then you may not answer in the chat....

I honestly don't believe it's as big an issue as is being made out. The Invasion server isn't exactly full most of the time, anyone doing this for a sustained period would stand out and I'm not seeing this.
