Ya know, that's *precisely* the thought I had when I first started to read about this.
Then I went to the Cantina in Coronet.....
40 charactors and not a single player. All spamming non-stop.
The areas where this is an issue:
Spam is annoying. I add 10 names to my ignore list everytime I visit Coronet, and that's just at the Starport.....
The Cantina (much like the Starport) is lag-central.
While youmay have added all the spammers to your ignore list, anyone who goes to that cantina won't have, and isn't likely to spend the couple minutes they're there for doing so, just so they can have a conversation for 5 minutes. When they can just click Listen on someone who's not there, and go get themselves a cup of coffee or whatever.
Why listen to someone who is there when you can just pick out the biggest Band (who're all AFK) and get healed fastest that way?
And finally: being able to power through the class by looping 2 macros and then going to work (in real life) completely devalues the entire profession. While a lot of people put the effort in, the AFKers haven't. They just clicked a button and walked away, checked back in a couple hours, and that's it. Go them......

Oh my gosh! I cant belive no one has thought of this! First....type /ignore {AFKers name}. Its amazing how well it works at cutting down spam! Then...look somewhere else if your that crazy about AFKs! Its so simple...yet so revolutionary! And the most secretive and hidden thing is...ban them from you cantinas! This is an amazing anti-afk system! And the afks get their xp and fun irl at the same time!
neo i expect more creativity out of an experianced troll such as yourself..... posting the same thread in three forums? hmm maybe your loosing your touch /frown *keeps the faith that your not*
Pull-eeez. Have you any idea how much lag would be eleiminated from Coronet and Theed if the AFK'ers were gone? If the Dev's inteneded for you to master three whole professions in your sleep then they'd be giving handfuls of combat EXP just for equipping a weapon. If life is too busy for you to sit down for a while and play SWG, then maybe you shouldn't be paying $15 a month to play.
OR
Pull-eeez. Have you any idea how little you'd be effected by thelagin Coronet and Theed ifyou would leave theNPC cantinasand head out into player city cantinas, instead? Other players are there.. where are the entertainers? Half are too busy being AFK and the other half are complaining about it, it seems.
AND
If the Dev's inteneded for you to master entertainer while AFK, they would have allowed you to go AFK and run macros... oh wait.. they did.

If life is not busy enough in SWG that you have time to complain about AFKrs, then maybe you shouldn't be paying $15 a month to play.
