Just an idea for people planning to AFK their way to the ‘in tune’ achievement – after you’ve done enough attuned damage to get credit you can still help out by reviving the downed players. I’d say it’s just common courtesy.

I’m sure there are profession related skills that could be useful too and won’t damage any of the holograms.

Griefing/Afk leching won’t be punished, so why bother?

Sorry, I missed the guide that ANet issued detailing how to play the content properly.

Oh yeah, right, they didn’t put one out.

Play how you want, I’ll play how I want.

Actually, you have no way of knowing what I am doing.

It has been said many times by the devs that playing the TP is a legit way of playing the game. You have no idea of what I am doing during this time, and I could very legitly be playing the TP for a bit. Among other things.

On the rule book, sure. Nothing says you can’t TP or chat or doing any other ingame business other than fighting. This is the exact excuse that AFK players are using in the last LS. Well, LA is a big place, some places are indeed safe for trivial matters.

But the breachmaker is different. You’re in a small arena now, and everyone on the platform in technically a giant “party”. Let’s say if this event is a 5-man instanced dungeon and needs all the manpower to succeed, would you still place yourself in a corner buying and selling items while your teammates fight?

I’m against AFK but if the event is successful that works for me. Everyone and their mother will have the Hero of Lion’s Arch title anyhow so it is not like this achievement will grant them any superiority over the others. (because online status/ego matters)

If it was for a distinct achievement like the Queen’s arena then I would be upset with them leeching. As long as the content is fun I don’t mind others getting whatever they want as long as it does not affect my game play.
