So is AFK leveling now allowed?

It's impossible for GM's to determine if someone is boxing or if one player has gone AFK for a long period of time. In neither case will they be able to pass a two box test so should they both be banned? My opinion is yes they should, if you have to AFK for so long then log out instead of leeching exp.

And I believe that's what the rules are. If a staff member showed up I think they give you a certain amount of time for the AFK person to return to do the box test. If they don't return within that time frame it's presumed to be boxing and the hammer comes down.

So, you think people should be banned for going AFK in a group? Odd take.

No. I think people should be suspended pending further investigation if they are in a duo and one of them has been AFK for over an hour while the other person also AFKs and their pet kills things and then a staff member shows up and asks them to complete a boxing test and they don't come back to the computer.

By the way, if you think it's an odd take then I guess you should take it up with the staff because that's how the process goes. If a staff member had run a boxing check on these two characters and one of them was AFK, the staff would give them a certain period of time to get back to the computer (usually a reasonable period of time) and complete the boxing test. If they don't come back the account is suspended and/or banned under a presumption of boxing. So I guess you're saying you don't agree with the staff?

But I'm not surprised that you would disagree with them on this considering how often people have seen the Mage and Bard AFK camping and looking like they are boxing.
