I just told them I went afk and they said, "Oh - Well you're not allowed to afk with a pet out"

In Guiild Wars 2 my account was permanently banned for going AFK near one of those public quest NPC's. I was just reading forums and moving my character every 10 minutes (for about 30 minutes) so the stupid game doesn't log me out. I was unknowingly getting experience every time people completed the public quest, although very little due to not contributing anything.

I'd post a picture of the explanation they gave me, but Photobucket is terrible and isn't loading.

While I am very much against cheating I find leveling bots such a minimal offense it isn't even worth punishing.

And I can remember mage and necro friends doing afk kills all night long in eq2 and never being bothered.

/shrug

I dont play a pet class anyways so i really don't care, but was wondering if there was a hard and fast rule about it, because I have never seen it mentioned.

the merbs in the gorge have the same factions as runnyeye, are lower level, and maybe be a little easier to round up for the upheaval. plus all that factioning could earn you a decent item too: http://wiki.project1999.com/Whirling_Agate

That sounds like a much easier idea and one that I could likely readily do at level 40 in my off/bored time. Especially with the possibility of that item (or a few others I saw on the same mob) popping.

Thanks for the advice, I may earthquake the shit out of this place.

I spent roughly 50 hours in the gorges trying to get a malachite. (Seen spinflint only once).
I can now bank and trade in RV with my Iksar.
Clerics at Kith entrance still want my hide though.

This makes me sad cuz I used some mobs in Neriak 3rd Gate I think for Halas faction back on live for Erud only Shoulders.... My "Faction-Machine" was super great tho... Now I am disappoint.....

Spent some time tonight trying to repair my rivervale faction. Between rounding up every single mob in the gorge and earthquaking them twice, i was able to kill all of them easily. rinse, repeat.

I probably did this about 10 times so far, spent some of my time medding up while handing in bandages in RV for the rest of my faction and now everyone in RV likes me....except for the druids.

No more bandages needed, but i still have to faction farm the gorge, which isn't a problem as it is easier than runnyeye with the mobs being smaller. However, try as I might, i have been attempting to see if i can figure out how much of a faction bonus turning in runnyeye beads or deathfist slashed belts give, I am wondering if it would be more worth my time to be a little more dangerous in runnyeye and turn in beads, if the quest gives a much larger faction boost.

Does anyone know?

Thanks!

I was able to find out some assumptions on xp on allakazam, someone said 12 faction hit per turn in for 4 beads, which is an extremely negligible amount if gorge is 10 faction per kill.

thanks
