Default THAT guy........

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 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.

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.
