Thread: AFK camping Lord Nyax is it or isn't it against the rules?
Anyways on our server there is a guy with a legendary t21 that AFK camps Lord Nyax. If you're gonna camp him atleast be at your computer, thats not cool to AFK like that especially with that weapon that does 10k damage. So 3 of us reported him and I got a reply saying that it is not exploiting to use macros while AFK.
Funny because I once was camping Lord Nyax and there was some jerk that reported me for being AFK when I was clearly at my computer and a CSR contacted me and asked me to reply. Go figure... So it is or isn't okay?

Um, am I the only one who remembers the supposed fix: "Players will no longer do damage while AFK?"
Is it bugged again? I would hate to see it come back, but that's not what I would say, only type
No, the Devs did that. But in all their wonderful insight, they failed to realise that it didn't do anything. There is still the option to turn off auto afk, so all the campers did that and keep going.
I too, have the same question. One time I reported someone for afk camping, and the dude got banned. I did it again and the CSR told me that it was right. Third time, CSR said he was "investigating it" and never did anything.
And I have a feeling if someone is so bitter about it they too are an afk camper.

I'm not greedy, I don't do things for the loot. I just want to do things like the Geo cave once, just so I can experience the relatively small amount of content in this game. And getting through the whole dungeon just to find that instead of being able to beat the boss and feel a sense of accomplishment, a bot that probably hasn't been at their keyboard for hours upon hours kills it.
And I'm really sick of hearing "I worked hard for my adk/legendary weapon". Chances are you bought them, and money takes little to no work at all. If you looted the weapon, then, yeah it was work, but I'm sure it wasn't hard. Killing something that doesn't give you that much damage, I don't see that as hard. I see hard as something bringing one of your HAM pools down to close to nothing, even with buffs and stims.

Hi..just thought I'd add my two credits worth. I personally don't want to be greedy. I think there is enough high-end loot in the game without my adding yet another piece for millions of credits. I just want to experience the game to it's fullest, and that includes fighting all the NPCs I can. I don't care if there are harder NPCs or if they drop better loot. I want the opportunity to fight Lord Nyax, but like others, it is hard due to campers. I don't have a bad-ass weapon,but then again I'm TKM and I haven't heard of many high-damage VKs so I know I will be outdamaged. That's not the issue. The issue is that it's hard to even get to the point to engange Nyax because the campers have already killed him. I have killed my fair share of NS, SC, SMC, etc, but I shouldn't have to continue to do so, forsaking other interesting NPCs and caves just because greedy, lazy players have found a run-around for rules that CSRs don't know how to enforce. I think AFK fighting and camping in general , at POIs and dungeons like DWB and Geo caves, prevent sother players from fully enjoying the game. Not all of us care about loot. Sometimes it's just the thrill of battle; a thrill most of can't experience. Thanks.
