AFK Leveling = Banned. New Unspoken rules Via Guide Drommund. Proof inside.

[Qi0]

I will discuss rather than chide you for doing any complaining that you're not actually doing.


1 - How long have people been AFK leveling? Is this now a bigger deal because it's become more popular? I wonder how many players have done this, really.

2 - The 'penalty' for AFK leveling was previously being booted to desktop, as per the thread in question. Did this ever actually happen? It also seems weird that there's a penalty for it, but no mention of banning or anything. It's only 'frowned upon'.

3 - IIRC on live there's a 75% penalty to all kills where the pet's owner does not do at least 1 damage. Was this not in during classic, or is it a code issue?

1. People have been AFK Leveling since the server started. It's becoming real popular.

2. The punishment for AFK Leveling, according to the rules in print, are Frowned upon and booted to character select. No where does it state a maximum penalty of "banishment"

3. Back in 1999, AFK Leveling was around. The 75% penalty wasn't implemented until Luclin I believe. Could've been Velious.
