Guild Wars 2

Today when I connected, I had the pleasure to find myself lying dead on some random ground (not a surprise :p) but with several meta-event chests waiting for me. To be clear, I did not have these chests before I blacked out in front of the screen.

Sure this was a nice welcome, but considering the change to event participation, it seems to counteract it: a player simply needs to take part in events until reaching 200% participation, then can AFK for 25 minutes, move 1 sec and AFK again indefinetely while still earning meta rewards.

To me this looks like we may quickly get maps partly filled with AFK players just waiting for their automatic meta reward while still using map slots once players find out this.

Noticed this myself as well.

Was doing a ton of events earlier and then decided to take a break for a bit and just try some exploring. Yet I was still getting chest after chest for doing nothing. I mean, I don’t mind the loot, but it wasn’t deserved.

And yeah I agree. I could see this being abused soon.
