Hi. I'm kinda new to the game, but i was just wondering what people thought about maybe having some sort of Auto-Attack feature for the game? Like something u could turn on or off so if you take damage, you automatically attack with your weapon. I find that i must go AFK quite often, and the only character who can make themselves safe when doing this is a cleric, being able to fly.
I don't know, it would just be nice to be able to step away for a few seconds without having to log out so your character isn't **** by some random enemy that passes by.

    No, PWI does not have an auto attack feature. That would pretty much be botting.
    Meh, saw a couple other people doing this so...

    pff venos have that already, it's just that your pet would die if you afk for too long.

    you know this wouldn't be botting if charms didn't exist, because you'd die very quickly just responding to mob attacks without doing anything else - you would kind of have to be there to play

    that's why other games have this feature but this game doesn't i guess.

    KK, guys. If so many are against it then i retract my suggestion. I WOULD however like to know what you meant about making going afk too easy. I don't see why it should be difficult at all. AFK is the closest to a pause feature one could have in a multi-person online game.

    Also, it wouldn't be botting. Make it something you have to activate. Or make the player unavailable to monster attacks while meditating...or something. No spells mind you, just weapon attack/pet. A way to make people think twice before attacking someone who's meditating or...i know!
    Make it activate with the Sit Emoticon-action thing. PK will still work, but monsters won't be able to kill u while you just take it.
    And PKs will be more fair. Cuz you might come back to find you are being attacked, when both you AND your foe are losing hps. Of course, he/she will be using skills most likely...but still, it's something. Besides that, for those who don't want it, just turn it off. Like i said, make it an option.

    I don't know. Let me know what you think, guys.

    What they mean is that someone would find some loophole and exploit that to get levels while at school. Or work. Or just good old sleep.

    The thing is, Archers get most damage per second by using mostly normal attacks. So yeah.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    Everyone wants to be different, but when you're different you wish you were normal.
