THAT guy........

[Tippett]

We all know this individual, he can visit at any level in the form of any caster class. He is the "random" AFK guy, he is a menace and a disruptive force to any group. In this example the individual was encountered in EC at the second Orcish camp. The following exhibits are my observations about this individual.

Exhibit A - Usually didn't react to a mob with his pet or a DoT until they were under 25% HP

Exhibit B - Never called an afk, just ceased to contribute for long, sporadic amounts of time.

Exhibit C - After warnings he continued to go afk without notice and during one such stretch he was removed from group.

Exhibit D - After being removed he continued to sit in the same spot for a good hour or two medding as he was before being removed. I honestly believe he would have just sat there even if he was still in the group, and just leeched exp without contributing in any way.

Is this a common occurance? I know this isn't my first encounter with a caster engaging in this type of behavior, does it piss anyone else off?

I have come across those guys in every low level group i joined!. I found Oasis was the worst for this.

I can tell by the look on his face that he thinks he's getting away with the biggest XP leech scam in history. Not today. Not to Tippit.

"Oh buddy, hope you aren't afk, there is a TRAIN!" =)

[ElanoraBryght]

Set "Spells - others" and "Experience Messages" to go to their own window. Good times, as you see who afks for how many kills in a row. For boring camps, play bookie and bet on the over/under for how many pulls he'll be afk for.

[Dantes]

Kick from group and move on.

[purist]

Check those bangs out, he's clearly above participation.
