Things that should have an AFK check

Post by Asmodean »

I'm going to post everything I can think of that should have an AFK check, and i hope you will be able to add to this list. I think this is a great time to do it, to go along with Colibri's poll about updating the afk check system.

in no particular order, anything that makes money including

leveling weapons
killing anything
mining
lumber jacking
flax gathering, thread spinning
keg making
potion making
pretty much any trade skill really, but those are the big ones in my opinion.
stealing? (if there are steal able in places you can recall to and script the stealing)
fishing
begging
playing casino games
escorting the npc's

collecting bods (would like to see this more limited, and easier - double click some object, get bods for every character on account, but only a couple times per day or something.)

I can't think of anything else currently, so please add your two cents, or other stuff that should not be afk-able.

jail time :D or trinkets, or something to make you PAY your jail time, rather than just play a different game/shard.

i would really hate to see someone die at proxy or lady mel or anyone of the peerless because of an afk box popping up while trying to ctd. i'd also hate to see someone watch their bio die while doing kronus. i do remember people making a druid script for champs then going afk. yeah dunno this is a hard one.

If the new AFK check is implemented like the gathering auto-AFK check then it wouldn't really be a problem. The box appears outside of the game area and you have 10 minutes to fill in the captcha. More than enough I think. Even if it was 2 minutes, then I don't think it'd be a problem to find 3 seconds to type in 3 letters and click ok.

The problem is it works like the voting box at champs and I can tell you from personal experience... for some reason healing yourself with bandages does not work during this because I have died a few times and narrowed it down to the voting box.

Well, then pardon my ignorance. Never really got into the details on how it works exactly. I assumed it opened just like any other gump.
