WHOA! Patch Notes – NW.1.20130416a.23
"Players will now be removed from PvP for being AFK."
A step forward. Probably can still exploit through this fix fairly easily but I see a ray of hope!
Its a step in the right direction, although it didnt fix anything. Even a really dumb person can press the spacebar at spawn every couple of minutes and AFK for profit.
I've seen a guy jumping every 3 minutes at spawn, exactly 3 minutes, which means he probably made a macro or script or whatever, in order to auto-jump and not get kicked.
And even if you dont wanna be that "fancy" and make a script for this, its super-easy. Run against the wall in the back, and have your character auto-run the entire game. You can still easily A2W (AFK to WIN).
You know what the sad part is? I STILL see people in the chat posting "LFM for afk pvp, PM me". Seriously, when I see those messages I get enraged. The nerve that some people have, even after the auto-kick that Cryptic added.
They should be banned, no questions asked. Forget the auto-kick. Insta-ban them using a bot, that will teach them. And yeah, I realize that this is a bit extreme, so forget what I just said.
