How can you get enjoyment out of going afking and laughing that ppl are trying to invite you? And I don't mean it like... "thats ridiculous! how can you be so cruel to laugh about something like that?" cuz I enjoy messing around with the blind invites once in a while too 
.
What I mean is, since your afk, how do you even know that ppl are trying to invite you or not? Since you don't know you can't really laugh about it can you?

Good point inger

I just afk wherever I am. Sometimes in town, sometimes in an explorable, wherever. So when I come back I can just pick up where I left off. I can't imagine zoning to some random spot to afk for kicks, but I guess some people would do that.

In addition, you won't have the down-time looking for a HB monk when one isn't available.
Just a little tip there as I got r10 Norn (for the title only as I hate UB) way before the current teddy craze, so it's definitely doable without 'bearing up'

I AFK in Shing Jea whenever possible, on my little corner ring.

For me my favorite place to afk for 1-2 hours is usually sit by the big campfire in Gunnar's hold or deldrimor warcamp wearing my Norn fur coat in the cold. It just looks neat to see my mesmer sitting there chilling with his little lich pet walking around.
By the time I get back on sometimes I see 2-3 other afk sitting by the campfire with their pets out too. it's funny!

there should be a feature that if you show no activity for 60 seconds a big ol afk sign goes on your head.
and if you dont wanna see other peoples afk signs just hide it in the menu.

I dont afk in towns (unless its HA cause forming up takes forever sometimes) cause anet might think you are a bot and ban you lol.

I usually find the next objective I need for example, another Olafestead Ursan HM run for rank, or perhaps a mission done in HM. I usually construct a team, enter the zone, then afk. You'd be surprised how many teams just continue on with out the leader around. The secret is to put together a team of good PuG players, 9/10 times they'll realize the mission/run can be done with only 7 players. Yes I leech.

Usually, if I'm going to AFK, I do it in my guild hall. I have had some fun leaving my monk in mission outposts where everyone's searching for monks, though... I once left my monk AFK in a mission outpost overnight... I don't remember which mission, but I know a ton of people were looking for monks there. When I came back, I had a bunch of "join us!" PM's. "join us we only need monks our team is leet plz we need u"
EDIT:
In every PUG I've been in, if there's a leecher, we zone back into town and form a party without the leecher... I've never had a team that didn't want to restart a mission/quest if there was an AFK.

Ascalon Arena, so funny when I return and I see a bunch of messages like "Where did you get that armor?", "Can I have some money"...etc.
Lol, I enjoy that place.

i afk in the guild hall, cos there is less spam in all chat so i can see if people have left me messages over a longer period of time.

Now days i like to go afk in aschlon right at the steps into old aschlon just below the sign post wearing my chaos gloves + dread mask makes the Newbies stop in there traks
right at the steps into old aschlon just below the sign post Johnny_Chang
Best thing to do is go afk as a monk while having a "LFG" in the party search window. classic.

So... this thread is complaining about not being able to pug? pugs are bad, take heroes. Hell, even henchies beat pugs, especially in EotN.

(sorry could not resist, highly uncalled for)
About the only time i go afk is in the guild hall, or the next town I intend to leave from. But if Im looking for an empty, quiet area, then I like places like maguuma staid. Never a soul there. And since I usually run in international, (therefor the preferance of atlantic instead of pacific) most places are pritty much deserted.

I never afk... I just log.

I usually turn the game off rather than afk. If im running out for a quick smoke break ill afk in any town im in. I only afk missions/dungeon with guildies or alliance after asking first. Now if my kids are in an emergency ill afk anywhere at any moment.

After a couple minutes of inactivity there should be a scripted announcement in team chat to let everyone know that "player X is being marked as away" or something. That will help with players who forget to type "afk".

I only go afk when I am going to get a drink, bathroom break or I am needed away from the PC. I never go AFK during a mission or quest if I am in a group. (unless ofcourse something pressing happens with my family in which case forget the game)
I rarely ever party with players so I never stress waiting for any profession, I simply grab my Heroes and Henchies and complete the mission or quest I'm on.
I turn local chat off, and I put my "Away" status on to let anyone messaging me know I'm AFK.
I have a Monk to build, and once its done it will be my group character when I am not fow/uw ecto farming. I just need to learn how to play a healer monk correctly before I attempt the harder missions.
But as I said in other threads, My hero monks normally do a better job of keeping my group alive than any player monk I'v ever grouped with. Next time your group is waiting in frustration for a monk player, just grab your monk hero with a solid healer/protection/anti hex/condition build and play the mission.
You can fail a thousand times, but you only need to succeed once. Hero Monks normally allow you to skip the thousand failures. The only way a hero monk fails to do its job is if the player sets its skills up wrong, Or the group does not respect the energy management of the hero monk, or the casting range. Either way its not the hero, its the players.

Don't know about you guys but I have to pay for electricity. If I have something to do that takes more then 30 minutes I'll log off and shutdown the comp.
If it is only a short break for bathroom and stuff I turn off local and trade chat to see PMs when I return.
Makes no sense to me to show off fancy titles and dance somewhere for hours, even more pathetic to do it with a festival hat or chaos gloves on (and if that char is even a naked Warrior the controlling player deserves the Clown Award). . It is neither cool nor impressive. Whoever told you that was wrong.
If you want to be online while afk to "farm" /age do it in your GH.
As for me...every minute my /age shows was a minute I played the game.
