I have AFK above my head alot when I'm trying to accomplish something and don't want continual interuptions. For the most part, I'm there, watching my char sample. ( oh joy ) If you watch me, you'll see my hair and lips change color from time to time.


I have had my daughter sample for me while I'm torturing myself with a work out, but I'm by no definition macroing and i don't think I care if others do. I mean really, its sampling for gods sake! LOL There are sooo many other things to be concerned about that affect game play for others. Lets fix those and worry about artisan macroers later.

BradBradley, you've probably already realized your boorish mistake, and are hiding somewhere hoping no one finds you, but just in case you aren't:


GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU LAUNCH A CRUSADE!


A) Nowhere in the SWG TOS does it state AFK Macro Activities are against the rules


B) Nowere does a Dev state that AFK Macro activities are against the rules (all that's been stated is that they want to discourage AFK Macro Sampling and encourage Harvesters)


C) The game does NOT auto-log you off if you go AFK for long periods of time



Throughout life, you will see things you don't like, things that make you mad. That does not mean those things are themselves wrong. You are free to lobby to the Powers-that-Be to change those things, but you have no right to call them "cheaters". Oh, and please do your homework next time?

So, if he calls a GM and tells them what you're doing why should you care?

I wonder if Mr Brad Bradley was expecting support when he made this post.

Even the most independent solo character will reply when spoken to.






No, I won't.

The game will log you out only if you are doing absolutely nothing for long periods of time.
You can set the auto-AFK to go on anywhere from 1-30 minutes.
