Guild Wars 2

It is nice to see so many people eagerly queing for wvwvw experience – what is not so nice to encounter after being in a que for an hour a player staying extended amount of time at starting areas and own keeps doing a single thing – autocasting a heal ability on every 20 or so seconds. This keeps you permanently inside the wvwvw since you are “active” – I would remove that possibility and extend slightly amount of time prior people are thrown away – ability to have breaks is needed but I think we now have people just autocasting for half and hour or more just to avoid queing again – feels a bit silly when there are immense amount of people in que to get to play.

While i agree this can be annoying, when people are legit AFK as in they have left there house and their comp is just siting on, which there is no way for you to know. There are a few problems with trying to deal with this. The first is what kind of condition is there you could kick them on? I can think of alot of conditions but everyone of them can be counter argued by legitimate things a person could be doing. The second part is i know people who when they have other stuff to do will leave there toon in a keep and just leave the screen up for defensive purposes, so if the keep starts to get attacked they can let people know to get defense there.

Has it been verified that auto-casts keep you in game?

It would be pretty silly if the AFK trigger wasn’t based on actual player input.

I use the autocast on heal when I just want to idle in LA for an hour or so without being kicked, so yes it does work.

Wow nice, thanks for pointing that out.
Now i can go eat without having to queue up again for an hour.
