Well, no idea where I should post this but here we go.
I’ve been setting my autoattack to some skill that can be cast without a target, say Summon Oakheart, to avoid being kicked when I go AFK. I do this to track guild chat if I’m away for a few hours, but it occurred to me that maybe I’m circumventing the game’s limitations.
Why do you,personally think they have implemented such a system to kick people when they are afk for a long time.. ? So people can find reasons to bypass this ? No its not oke,they implemented such a system so the server doesnt get hogged with loads of afk people when other people want to get in.Short story,if youre not about to play,just log out.
It’s OK. Why else would we be able to auto-cast heal. To avoid being kicked for being afk of course! I do it all the time. Most of the time, just ask yourself this: “Does what I do affect the economy?” (No), “Does it break the game in any way?” (No), “Does it exploit a glitch to give yourself an unfair advantage against other players?” (No), and etc. Obviously, some people would think that you shouldn’t do it anyway, but don’t worry about them.
I can see both sides of the argument honestly, I think it’s not an offence, but since Anet has been banning accounts for exploiting an oversight in game design, well this one counts as well. As the snowflake thing could be damaging to the economy, this one might be damaging to server load, especially if everyone does it. Or allow people to AFK in WvW which would be very bad. So, that’s why I’m asking. I’d love a reply from Anet on this.

You do not need a response from anet,its common sense,if you are Not behind your keyboard playing the game,you should not be using skills at all,also not to prevent yourself for being kicked from being afk too long.It really isn’t that hard..but i think you just want to hear that its allowed anyway ? That won’t happen though.And the autocast skill is there for when youre in battle offcourse,also a no brainer.
Nnno, it’s not common sense. As you can see, you’re the only one in the thread that considers this an exploit. Someone even suggested that autocast can be moved from the 1 skill precisely for this reason, so I’d be glad if you kept a less confrontational tone, thank you.

It is common sense that you are- by trying to manipulate the kick system by using an autocast skill while not being behind your keyboard ( basically act like a bot ) so you will not be kicked,would be an exploit.That you are the one not willing to accept this while you made a thread about it and asked if it would be acceptable and when someone is telling you No,with grounded reasons,and again you are Unable to accept this answer because you just don’t want to hear a ..No.Then i give up,good luck !
Mucco, we would ask you to send a report to the following email address, exploits@arena.net, where this issue can be properly look into. In the meantime, we proceed to close the thread.
