List AFK checks

[Deathimself13]

Lists are a good idea, but AFK checks aren't very good. In classic if you where camping something you'd kill it or the ph, set a timer, go and do some stuffs around the house, come back and repeat. These AFK checks are unhealthy, forcing you to sit at the screen for hours and hours just incase you miss clicking that button. If I've got time to play i'll find a group, exp, farm stuffs, but theres days where I cant commit and would just like to sit and camp a mob and get some housework or something else done in my downtime. Keep lists but, please, get rid of that afk check or atleast have it timed so you don't have to stare at an empty spawn spot for 10+ hours.

The afk checks are fine, but maybe only do them to the top 2 people. I don't see why I have to be paying attention when I am still 3-9 hours away from having a chance at the drop.

If you want that legacy item so bad, you need to put in the time. I'd also add that AFK checks probably make the list go somewhat faster since people end up getting booted off the list and you get moved up, which potentially saves you tens of hours of waiting.

"That would be classic, and it's not like this place is for classic EverQuest or anything: geez!"

Without afk checks, those lists would be absurdly long. No one is entitled to a legacy item.

/List changes have been beaten to death. There are some legitimately good ideas for changing them, but getting rid of afk checks isn’t one of them.

Imagine a system promoting bannable practices (sharing accounts) or unhealthy/potentially deadly behavior (40 hour camps).

Er what? Sharing accounts isn't bannable at all. The staff have expressly said that it's not.

Sharing accounts should be bannable. I have seen people share info to farm stones. If they suspended account's when ips change constantly. These lists would be way shorter.

I don't see why it should be bannable. Just because people have friends and guildies who will help them out?

If you share your account, you're putting yourself at risk as you're responsible for whatever happens while the account is logged in. Someone could do things to get you banned; someone could steal all your stuff. I'd say that's enough of a risk. Don't need to make it against the rules to account share.

so you're cool with sharing accounts, but don't think the AFK should be changed as people need to be there for a legacy item. Ok got ya.
