You could just cancel your subscription. That usually works for people who don't like to play the game.

Just to encourage people to play the game I propose a change to AFK timers. At 20minutes of being AFK the game should either log you out automatically, or earn you a PVP TEF

I'm all for the PvP TEF. I'm pretty much a PvE exclusive player but I do wish I could plug the AFK Advert Bots that seem popular these days. I can't walk around a busy city without seeing some AFK fresh toon yelling every 60 seconds about some jackass's shop "Just 800m from this very spot." Now if these folks actually had barker droids I'd be semi ok with it, still annoying but atleast-IMHO-its a little more acceptable and adds a little color. Sure I've got 90% of the fools on Ignore but I'd like to just vent on them.

I prefer to have people spamming at the starports. You can't /addignore a barking droid. Those droids were the worst invention in the game.

i don't agree with afk macroing but i am happy to see it being used to gain combat skills. just cause it gives me hopes that i will see you in the pvp arena wondering what shots to use while i'm getting ready to db you

/Pet... you are very correct... they would probably use HS3 in pvp against 30 players whenaarea stun or area dizzymight be more appropo and they would also assume that the jawa is the right rifle for pvp (I love (to kill) people who believe that)

AFK grinding is only against the EULA if you use a 3rd party program to enter commands for you. So long as you're using the in-game scripting engine you're A-OK!

And as long as you are not interfering whatsoever with other players game experience, yes. Which means if you are AFK killing something that they are not AFK killing(or trying to kill), then you are not A-OK.

Best 1 my alt found for AFK grinders was
/Target self;
/Headshot3;
/Fall to floor with half of head missing;
/Say sorry to SOE;
/Logout
Im sure that is good enough for AFK grinders

Being AFK or not doesn't have anything to do with the "No interfering with others' gameplay experience" clause...Being at the keyboard and group killing doesn't make you any better than someone not at the keyboard killing a mob multiple people are attacking.
Besides, AFK macro'ers are fun to play with. Just stop attacking and they'll generally get killed.

Again you are wrong, but I feel you won't allow yourself to accept that, so have it your way. I also forgot to mention that while macro grinding is fine, you must be at the keyboard. Using any macros while AFK is illegal(though this is hard to enfore, so they simply do not enforce it). This is why those 'survey events' were made. In the early days of the game, it was easier to extract resources by hand instead of using harvesters, so many people just AFK sampled all day long. The thing about gaining combat xp AFK is they have yet to find an acceptable way around it.
Believe what you will. Hate me as you like. I'm only here to help as best I can, but it seems that upsets some people. I'm sorry for whatever I did to bring you to this forum and deserve your behavior. Please just move on.

You tried to force your opinion of how I should derive fun from a product I paid for on me. I don't have fun killing 30,000 nunas. I'd rather let my computer do it for me (since it seems to be required) so I can then go have fun with higher level attacks.
