Yep, I'm with Tiaga.
One thing that I can add is that the devs are well aware of the negative effect that unattendedness has had on the entertainer professions. Every time they've mentioned unattendedness, there has been no distinction between AFK combat, entertainment, or even crafting. Every mention has been about it all going away.
So, don't sweat the player threads out there calling for 'all AFK, except entertainment' to be done away with... that's not how the Boys in Red areseeing it, from every indication I see in there.

You know, I was thinking the same thing about this. I am rather peeved by the idea of it. The practice of it, however, is completely irrelevant. The AFK tag means nothing so it will stop few people from continuing to do the same thing, however it does continue the old and stale history of indifference and disrespect to us and our profession that the devs have too often shown for far too long now. Problems to us are not problems or not important problems, and assuming they decide to do anything, seasons will likely go by before anything comes of it. Problems for the combat profs are very important and solutions of some form will be forthcoming as soon as possible. They've got to be aware of the perception that they are creating and yet they do it anyway. I really don't get it.

It might have lasted 24 hours, while some of the less-quick-to-catch-on had to wait for their friends to impart this wisdom upon them.
As I was going to Moenia cantina yesterday, I took my usual path from the shuttleport. I noticed a few skaak tippers walking around, not corpses. As I heeded over the bridge, my radar showed so many "yellow dots" I had to stop and see what kind of invasion I was walking into. Lo and behold they were skaak tippers everywhere! My next conditioned response was to see how many "blue dots" were in the thick of them. And do you know for the first time since I started, there was not a single AFK camper outside the cantina door! I didn't realize how many times I had just passed by this area in hopes that I would get to kill and loot one some day. I got to have my way with them and loot them freely for the first time ever.To make it even better, the patrons coming into the cantina did NOT have their AFK tag still up to healand were commenting on the same. It was very refreshing to have a dancer and combatants whooping it up over the same small thing!To me, this was a great 24 hours and I get to check off one more thing on my "things to accomplish in this game" list. Hopefully there will be other 24 hour periods to enjoy for us all!

Nothing like the combat-types to praise combat AFK going away yet attack entertainers and doctors for still being cursed with AFK macroing and some think we should still be AFK macroing....

I'm pretty disgusted at some of the comments made by these people. Especially the one about how boring our professions are.

Aww, but I was just taunting him. 
How can you take an attack on grammar seriously?

I'm alittle peeved.. This could have been the fix to every problem we have been having.. AFK looters, AFK ents and Spam..
If they had done it right, if they had...
A. Remove the option to turn auto AFK On/off and Default set it to say 15 min.
b. Caused going AFK to stop all looping macros.
c. Caused going AFK to not allow you to initiate or react to combat.
D. Made it so that ONLY movement by your character will prevent you from going auto AFK (stand in spot a for more then 15 min and you will go auto afk)
I know the one might be alittle bit of a hardship on us entertiners becuse we tend to not move. But I would be willing to stop playing once every 15 min and move my character to stop spam, afk ent, and afk combat.
