This is a fun thread to let people discuss the WORST place to go AFK. PvE or PvP, both is great.

For me, PvE: I just did Sunjang District or w/e its called. The ascending mission for Factions, went afk 10 minutes, came back to a wiped party. Apparently those little bosses run arnound in lesser forms once you kill them once.

PvP: Halls, altar cap. Funny story when our monk went afk when we were winning, we just moved off the altar after getting a quick 4-0-0 lead. So we moved off, monk had ghostly... he went afk longer than he though and wasn't able to play until the last 20 seconds.

When people hit Enter Battle in RA and then go AFK.

- After the cutscene in the mission Sunjiang District.
- When holding an item in any mission requiring that item to be put somewhere. (Borlis Pass comes to mind)

First thing that comes to mind is playing a terra tank in a full run UW party and going afk when the '4 hoursemen' quest starts.

I've gone afk while monking in fow....Luckily the party didnt wipe because the other monk was good.
I've gone afk while running someone to LA -> Piken, Luckily it was a friend.

Lets see...afked ab, some missions..but nothing absolutely horrid.
But I'd say the worst place to afk is while doing gate of madness and your at shiro and lich <<; Dont ask.

If you're referringo to the fact u can NEVER, EVER get a monk in PvE missions, qft. I used to PM afk monks (PvE is so inactive atm, only farm area's are somewhat populated) to offer them money to come with me...

Then I got to NF, and was able to have some real friends join me in my battles, Talhkora and Dunkoro. God, I love that duo...

Just after you zone into Ice Dome.
It was the first time I'd discovered the place. I figured I'd zone in there and be safe cause nothing's gonna attack you right at the portal, right? Yeah... I came back with my soda and found that me and the hench had party wiped twice and was in the middle of a third. Not cool.

The worst place you can possibly afk? Presearing Ascalon, dist 1, on a female character. For your own good, don't do it.

As far as explorables go, Ice Dome. I got wiped there thinking I was safe once, as well.

On a side note...I hate people that find it necessary to go "afk" for 1-3 minutes every 10 minutes. For god's sake turn AIM off while you're playing, or set it to busy...

You sir, have hit the nail dead on. This is the reason I go through Pre as fast as I can, ESPECIALLY on a female char. >.>

Hahaha. That's terrible.

I dunno, I'd expect AFKing during The Grand Court of Sebelkeh and Dzagonur Bastion are the worst places for obvious reasons.

This is why Ice Dome wins the "Best Zone Evar" award. I seriously love the look of new players when the venture into this death zone, especially in HM with henchmen. So funny. Let me give you a quick smiley series as an example:

The other worst place? Anytime you are about 3 enemies from vanquishing with a friend and his 3 heroes and they fall asleep at the keyboard, and they have the monks. WORST.....DAY....EVAR.

Worst place to be AFK would be when you're just so far into a mission / quest / vanquish that you just can't bring yourself to zone out and re-start without the AFKing tool.

Seriously

Only time you are even allow to go afk while playing guild wars is when you are on your own time, when it does not involve any other player(s).

Motion for this thread to be deleted: reasons: encouraging players to go afk with details of where to afk and how and when, which I think is ridiculous.

You are in the underworld, your whole group dies, but aoe/burning aftereffects kill all monsters in your aggro circle. Suddenly, those last few monsters drop an eternal blade, several ectos and a perfect stormbow.

You are afk, and there arent any monsters in the radar in sight. "brb guys maybe 10-20 mins."

Bloody infuriating
