Anyone else experiencing this? I haven't played much since a little after the Green launch, but I'd bet a good 80% of the groups I've been in the last week or so have had a plague of ninja afk's. Now I get that the low levels are pretty risk-free for the most part, and people enjoy the game a little more casually - I enjoy the lower stress level involved myself. But I've seen people AFKing for almost half the time they're in the group in some instances, and not only doesn't anyone say anything, but you get a lot of "relax bro" if anyone does.
Funny enough though, I've grouped with three wizards in this time-frame, and not a single one of them pulled this.

I play wiz, an when I'm grouped and i burn down adds cleaning up a bad pull an hit 1-5%. I'll AFK med, cause I can't do much till I get back up to 50%-ish for that insurance burn down. Or maybe I joined the group while still lom, so I might spend some time just medding getting to that 80% range. But still burning runners as needed. It helps to just do a group mana check often to see if you get a response. Then you know if people AFK for reals. A lot of the time it maybe those casters you think arent doing anything are just LoM an trying to med up. An if they are twinked that could be lots of mana to med up. Some foo's just want that 100% full mana non-stop for every pull, which is not playing efficiently. Good groups, no matter the level or the mobs, should be pulling almost every minute, but some players don't or can't keep up with that tempo. So it could just be a clash of play styles. If you got a beast puller, some casters don't like that sort of tempo. )
