They’re silly, and therefore they shouldn’t be in the game.

You’re welcome.
I alt-f4 when I see players doing race to a node that I am fighting for without helping… they can have the mobs. Does that make me a bad person?
lel, you made me smile. I might do this from now on when playing on Bitterfrost Frontier :-)
There’s one thing that got me thinking yesterday night. We can play thinking “who will I report today” or thinking “who can I help today”. It’s far more enjoyable when I play using the second mindset. And I think it’s a better aproach to enhance and strengthen the community.
Don’t get me wrong, I report people from time to time, usually for bad language, bullying or mistreating other players. But most of the time I don’t play the “GW2 Police” role.
I like to do my stuff and help people on the way. You never know who’s behind that Charr or Asura getting beaten up by high level mobs. Maybe it’s a kid, maybe an older player without enough finger coordination, and when I go out of my way to help them… that’s when I truly feel like a hero in the game. Not after defeating Zhaitan or Mordremoth. I am a true hero when I help those real life players.
Aaaand I leave it here because I have the impression that I’m hijacking your thread. Sorry! ^^
They HELP me on my daily run when they kill the annoying spiders. It’s not a big help (I wish they would kill or help killing those big annoying mobs that frost me every 2 minutes).
Weirdly, THIS might be why they take action, if they do…
You bet they will take action against AFKers. As they have reminded us in another thread today:
I’ll pitch in on this thread, as there seems to be some confusion about this situation.
The auto-cast feature was never intended to be used as an AFK farming mechanism, and usage of the auto-cast feature while AFK is fine as long as it is not used to facilitate unattended gameplay.
Mastery auto-loot also stopping players from being flagged afk seems like a bug instead of a feature, and I’ll be sure to bring it up today while we have a chat about this internally.
1) Using skill (1 or more) while AFK
2) AFKing in a place where it is beneficial for your character to be at
3) Unresponsive to interaction with GMsIf all 3 of these apply to what you are doing, you may get actioned for it.
Even if some of us like or don’t care about the Bitterfrost Frontier AFKers, I’m sure they will have sanctions or will be unable to do this kind of activity in the future. As for the players who let you die miserably while gathering next to you? I just will wait for the real life karma to kick in :-P
Sincerely, I don’t understand all that hate for Bitterfrost Frontiers AFKs. I mean, I understand the AFK problem (although, I’m pretty sure the “rewards” for AFKing are not as much as we think they might be), but I, personally, like the Bitterfrost AFKers.
They HELP me on my daily run when they kill the annoying spiders. It’s not a big help (I wish they would kill or help killing those big annoying mobs that frost me every 2 minutes).
You know what I wish I could report and can’t?
People who see that you’re fighting alone with a group of griffons, take the opportunity of their distraction to gather without helping and just run away letting you die a horrible death. Probably while they run away, they’re thinking something like: “Ugh, having to help other players disturbs my daily run for Winterberries”.

Me and some of my guild friends are having the same problem. It started around the last update. A lot of lag, even disconnections on high visited maps (Doric, at the time). Yesterday I even had lag problems while doing this episode story, inside Caudecus house.
This is only happening on this game, my brother plays Battlefield when I’m at work and he says everything runs smoothly for him. My PC is a good one and almost never had problems with the Internet connection.
I remember there was a thread on this forum about the same high ping and horrible lag following another update.
