Mackledoge Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 MackleDoge here, new player. So, I'm sure we're all aware of the limited server size and the queue times for playing, I get that and I can commiserate with the amount of work the team is putting in to give us all new content to enjoy and work towards giving us more room on the serves or more servers. In the meantime though I was curious about ways to improve the issue personally. My general idea was to make a macro that just continues to move my character in order to not be set to AFK and be logged out. Is this allowed or this that practice against the rules and will get my account banned? It wouldn't be long periods of time, it'd be maybe 30 minutes to an hour for running some errands, cooking, or something similar. I'd still be logging off over night or when I go to work.

Catskin0106 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I think you will be banned for that... it is because of the purpose of 'AFK ban' system is to make spaces for players who are in queue for playing the game... So I think it is unfair to the others and you will get banned for that :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not allowed ;) 'cause while you're not playing but your macro/bot is keeping you connected, you're taking a place on the server, which no one can take, and therefore expends the length of the queue It is this way so anyone can play; that's also why there isn't priority in queue for membership players But you can log out, start the queue and then go to your occupations such as cooking, you'll probably be in by the time you come back and not kick for afk yet, or at least less than 100 in queue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's a good idea actually, makes sense and it is more fair for everyone. Appreciate the answer and the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
