Comment on Weekly Rifts: Southsun bugged
nullthegrey@mastodon.social 1 year ago@necropola @lulztard I used to gather every S4 currency every day when I was doing skyscale and then just to get more volatile magic, and I would dutifully report every AFK farmer I saw. Did this for over 6 months, no change in afk farmer population. I think they don't have the capability or willingness to do anything about it. 😞

I don’t think that ArenaNet can do much about it since according to their own rules someone “playing” a Necromamcer with Minions or an Engineer with Turrets while watching Netflix and pressing a key once in a while is not doing something forbidden.
And how would you determine whether this someone, their trained cat or a macro is randomly producing those key strokes?
While I personally think that massive amounts of AFK farmesr are kinda immersion breaking, there are far worse shenanigan going on, like botting in PvP.

They just need to create new enemy mobs that periodically sweep through areas where AFKers like to hang out, that can wipe em all out.
Make a champion or something that is especially good at killing adds and send it out to these locations to stomp anyone not paying attention.
