What is AFK?

Author Content Date
I'd like to know.

Seen a lot of people have been banned for hunting AFK over the last 24 hours.

I've also seen that more and more people message me while I am hunting. (presumably to check if I am afk or not).

But what exactly is it, and how are we defining the perimeters of it?

This is more aimed at the games masters and advisers but I guess I'd just like to know and I know a couple of my friends do as well.

AFK is simple really.

If myself or any other member of the team appears next to you and asks for a response. You respond. If we then see you switch from various monsters, run to attack others, run to restock during this time it's self explanitory what happens next.

We had a range of excuses yesterday such as "I wasn't afk I was cleaning my fish tank" .

P.S. If you use bots/macros and afk with them:

What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my palus go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Rofl Garp was caught via screenshare asking penumbra questions on how to use the bot, not sure you want to suggest this.

Anyways - glad to see it's being actioned and the weeks are incoming to players that abuse bots etc. afk.

Never used, bought or inquired about using a bot, even if i did I wouldnt be stupid enough to have it traceable back to me. Clearly just lies or a fanboy posing as me.

If you or anyone else have the smallest shred of evidence i openly welcome them to post it here, i'd love for everyone to see it.

100% legit player and proud to be so.

Bring back name & shame.

I think naming/shaming should happen to be honest. Although to be fair, OP has a point. iSylver appeared in front of me while i was dual boxing, i was browsing facebook as he appeared and could of easily missed him :P
