AFK Macro'ing is bad ... mmmk?

Post by MacroFiend » Fri Oct 08, 2004 8:58 pm

Someone out there in MQ-land has decided to garner us more negative attention. To that end, they have been AFK hunter macro'ing highland lions in North Karana. While that might not be too bad by itself, they've decided that running is just too much effort and are instead warping directly to the lion as it spawns.

Request #1: If you're going to AFK macro, don't do it in a zone that other people come just to farm what your hunting in.

Request #2: If you must AFK hunt for something in a zone that other people are going to also farm, by the love of god, don't use something so blatant as warp!

Good god people.

My AFK macro uses warp to exploit pathing in pofire to get me 10000 aa a day, thats fine right?

Edit:

Before i get an inbox full of people asking for it, I was kidding.

it's people like this that I question if I should just /report them and save us the attention. If you're gonna be stupid, you deserve it. As the poster said, if you're gonna afk macro. DON'T BE SO FUCKING STUPID ABOUT IT.

Having a language skill macro spamming in /say while in the Bazaar is also a nice one i've seen.

I have been seeing more and more blatent useage of MQ and other hacks such as warp as of late. Like today, some jackoff was warping around in WoS ganking named out of other camps. When confronted he said go ahead and report him, the GM wont do anything...

I spotted a bard circle kiting the two entrance mobs in HOH. Tight kite, must have been about a 25 to 30 radius. VERY blatant.

I've actually had a bard do the same in HoH a few months back, somehow was runnign around literally just out of its melee range, playing songs obviously macrod (Miss and not recast, waits then starts next blah blah etc). Other giveaway was she would run into the GY, wait for mob to get close then just start off in some random circle, getting hit only once before the mob is stuck spinnin.

I didnt have to report her, she LD and havent seen her since :P
