There's a difference between enhancing your EQ experience, and going AFK for 7 days to have it play for you.

While this may be true.. the mind numbing bullshit knows and grinding is for the birds.

1) If I am banned.. I dont give a shit
2) If I am trained and my macro is not good enough to keep my toon alive, I suck and will work on a better macro.
3) If I am AFK macroing and its obvious, I suck and need rewrite my macro.
4) I dont share my AFK macros with anyone because I dont want a kazillion other AFKers killing my mobs.

If you write an AFK macro, you should keep it to yourself.

All my macro's that I write are afk macro's. This game is enough of a timesink that I can't waist time farming tradeskill shit or cracken out exp.

I dont have the time like a lot of other power gamers. People who can play the game 40-50+ hours a week. So instead of playing harder, I play smarter and have this wonderful program do the boring bullshit while I am out.

If I get banned, I dont care. It is what makes the game exciting for me. All my afk macro's go public after I have no more need for them. Some will never go public.

Maybe I can understand for people who don't have time. But then there's people who do that shit, and then show off how 'uber their character is'.


Yeah... real 'uber'....

You know, coming from someone who just spent the last two weeks shoving comments like "Take MQ2 underground", "Stop Development", "shut it down", and more bullshit the just pissed people off.... turning around and admiting that you to the same fucking shit that draws attention to MQ is completely asinine! If some had little respect for ya then, they've got none for ya now.

Wonderful, yet another hypocrite that isn't afraid to broadcast their own mixed up stupidity. What more can be said other than what you've told us about yourself? You sir, are a hypocrite! Congrats.

I'd really be temped to rip into you hard it I didn't know you just kinda jump on the newest bandwagon that comes along down the road. Oh, I do have a question... after tradeskills, exp, and farming.... what is there left to play the game for? ::sigh::

Yes this forum has just an ass load of hypocritical bullshit that just proves... fuck, who the hell cares. Don't worry everyone. This is the last post you'll ever have to put up with from me.

Someone fucking lock this thread and lock my fucking account.

How about spending time with friends in game. THAT IS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT isn't it? Sorry but farming shit that doesn't give EXP is not really FUN from a social aspect.

Put the fucking violin away and stop saying you are not going to post anymore. Because that would be rather retarded of you to not post considering lots here get entertainment from your posts. K!??!

And what exactly did my comments do? It prompted a lot of people to show thier support for this project. Pointing out that stopping development is a real option made a lot of MQ2 users step up with a little support for the devs.

So fuck off asshole. You don’t know shit.

Loging in to spend time with friends?

"Hey guys, check out this cool AFK macro"

"Oh, I'll be back in a few hours"

Very social indeed.

actually yall.. I do this..

char 1.. 65 Ranger.. Puller and crap
char 2.. 65 cleric .. healer and buffer
char 3 65 arogue.. Well.. DMG DMG DMG
Char 4 Druid. Buffs and dmg.

the way i use this afk stuff is this..

on raid.. such as clearing to HOH trials.. well i dont need to do much but assist and kill.. and a bit of spot healing.. so i dont see a prob there..

alone getting shards for VT.. well that is pretty boring.. so i chat while they kill.. is that wrong.. HEll nO..

so AFK,, YEA.. does the crap that i dont want to do .. and the stuff that is driving many peeps away from eq.. so slam me all you want.. Train me if you want also.. ( side note.. it has been tried.. and failed ).. report me.. sue me .. fuck me.. dont mater to me..

just dont blame me if you dont get what you want out of your life.. pathetic looser comes to mind..

JUST MY 2 FREAKING PENNIES DAMNIT
