Check out these patch notes that were added today (but are already live, I believe).
People who have been marked as AFK can not attack

well, it is a GOOD move. however, alot of those noob npcs aggro you anyways, so they can still be AFK there and defend themselves. but will a loot macro work??/

Isnt there a way to make yourself not go afk though?
That's is one of the flaws (and why I deleted my second post 
).
Is the ability to NOT make yourself go AFK a necessary thing? I never could figure out why it was in the game (or if it still is).

This actually came in with Publish 13.1 but wasn't announced. I found out when I put up my AFK to avoid someone sending me tells (!) and then couldn't shoot at the Savage Humbaba in front of me last Friday/Saturday.
I suspect the next stage of this is to remove the option to turn of AFK and set a max time limit of 15 mins or so, and the loot camping issue is then reduced to just tracking ppl using 3rd party programs to stay ATK and not any old Johnny-Macro with an uber weapon and an inv full of AA/CA's.
Well, we can hope!

lol like its a big secret or something.
/target self;
/target cycleOutwards
is probably the most used macro in the game, its how you target the nearest thing to your self. All you do is add attack, and attack is what dosn't work if you are AFK /wink.
Any one that can make an AFK harvesting macro work worth a damn doesn't need us to tell them how it works, they already know.

Calc,
Idont know your 1 starbandit is but i tried to undo it.
Agent,
Not everyone knows the cycle target outward thing. And really until the devs do the right thing and kill recursive macros as has been promised since 10/04! its a blight in this game. You are able to power level, power harvest, without any actual time at the screen. The talus AFKer made 35 million afk. Does this seem right to you? What about all the AFK meatlump hunters we used to conceal?

yes, i 5 starred Calc to try and counter the 1 star bandit who seemingly hates only Mr. Calc.
and, there was no sense in telling people what they might not have known, *cough*macro post*cough*
