So is AFK leveling now allowed?

Normally you would be correct, but in this case the Mage was level 40 something and was using the level 39 pet whose HP is obviously much higher and is more powerful, but the real plus for the 39 pet is that’s it’s HP regen is super fast compared to earlier pets. It can easily take down a level 30 mob and be ready to go for another one like a minute or two later.

I respectfully beg to disagree. As a former epic Arch Mage on Live and a magician in my mid 50s on blue, I yet have to see such a pet with fungi like regen powers or get a pet that chain pulls mobs while I play /gems & profit from free xp.
Unless we're talking lvl 4-8 focused fire pets in a Steamfont kobold camp. Even a couple Crushbone cents and Legos would rip my focused pet a new one and had me running for the ZL

39+ pets with their improved regen rate only get about 1.5-2% hp/ tick when sitting, nothing off the charts.
I've read your posts a couple of times and yet have to understand if we're talking about 2 mages and a single pet or 2 mages and 2 pets

Anyway those pets (not sure what kind either) are actual lvl31 to 33mobs. Even if they're focused with a with torch/ stein/ shovel, I really doubt a single one of them could handle a couple mobs that give its master xp the way you described

As to their being afk, so what.? You duo/trio with a couple pals/ guildees, something come up IRL he/she has to deal with, he let's you know about it and goes afk for as long as he needs to while you keep farming some cash/ xp. End of the story. Happens every day without any boxing involved.

Looks like you hold a grudge against those guys. Why would you waste so long watching them in the first place? I know I have better things to do when I play [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

if a camp I'd like is already taken, I just ask if I can get a heads-up when campers leave and I just move along, YMMV
