As we all know the AFK problem in fort has seen no improvement since release, and even as teammates of these freeloaders all you can do is either to suck it all up, or leave the game.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves







Very fast wins for us, very little faction points for our good ole Dark.. (I'm sure we all know who he is by now)

On the surface, it would appear the pictures show some luxons fighting some kurzicks. I'll get my crystal ball out later to find the hidden meaning.

For those confused...

Spirits CRIPPLE Kurzick defense.

The best example would be EoE. Master Archetect Gunther would die in 3 seconds against an EoE bomb (which is VERY EASY, due to the fact that there are tons of NPCs.)

Henceforth, the Kurzicks had a griefer.

I saw one bring EoE from the Kurzicks, and it worked very good against Luxons with those EoE bombs. Zinger

It doesn't work well if you place it right next to Gunther.

hey I was thinking, if there was any possibility of a full party of luxon monks going into battle... is it possible to win via the power of the seige turtles only? (with the monks giving them unlimited heals) or cant the turtles kill those Kurzick commanders?

I've had dual turtles up in Gunther's face a few times in the last day, so yes, the turtles can pwn the commanders.

If the Kurzicks have interrupter(s) for the turtle(s), no.

If the Kurzicks have bonders on the gates, no.

Even if those two aren't present, and the monks just keep healing eachother/the turtle, Kurzicks still can keep the gates closed by just running tons of amber. Depends a lot on the Kurzick team, few monks can outheal the turtles at Gunther's place if the luxon warriors are out.

it is possible, saw it almost happen but on the kurzick side; they managed to end up having about 3-4 monks and a few rits, so they rushed to the front gates and just healed the ele/necro NPCs there so that we couldn't kill them and thus get in. we ended up just killing any of them that dared to venture outside =/

How does a load of spirits improve the afk problem?

This thread is humorous in everyone's inability to grasp what's going on.

As far as I can see, it doesn't... Unless I'm missing something, but I can only see the saboteur/griefer helping to speed up the farming process. The freeloader doesn't have to wait as long for the match to be over... the quicker it's over, the quicker he/she/it can start a new one. Win or loose, they still get some factions.

If the grief was ensuring that the freeloader didn't get the winning factions, then it's just a message, a simple gesture to say that he/she/it is not going to get a free ride... it's not a solution or improvement.

Which is worse, having a freeloader, a saboteur, or both?

It is faster to sell jadite to buy amber than it is to earn amber from faction; if one is playing fort aspendwood that is.

If all the luxon let the kurzick run refined amber, while all the kurzick let the luxon go in to kill gunther (after the kurzick run a few round of refined amber that is). Technically, both side can farm faction faster.

when I reported AFKers, I recommended that ANET play some games on Kurz side to see the problem for themselves

the Aspenwood mission is more abused by AFK Leechers than -any- mission in game

so they get less faction more often and all they have to do is leave whatever else they are having to do more often to still get free faction.

where is the improvement for the other players Einstein?

I don't understand this thread either.

Is there a proposal for a solution to the afk problem, hidden somewhere in this thread?

I don't play the Luxon side very often -- is the AFK/leech problem as big on that side as it is on the Kurzick side? I typically have at least one AFK'er/leecher every time I go in :/. It really is awful.

And I think the point of this thread is that with the Luxons throwing up all those spirits ( by the way), they earn themselves a fast win and very little faction for, erm, Dark (and yes, I know who the OP meant. He's notorious at FA).

Looks like he's trying to use spirits as a cheesewall and made the mistake of using EoE. That would be a nice idea if spirits didn't go down in one or two thwacks.

when i played Luxons last week, we occasionally had a leecher/AFKer, but yeah, not as often as Kurzick side. maybe they should boot you from the game if you stand AFK for 5 minutes or something in these missions >.>

Well, i supose its meant to stop the monks that solo the mission, when i need faction i go into aspenwood with PS/bonds/HH/Seed then sit next to the architect rotating HH and Seed on him while hes under bonds and prot spirit, and because the opposition is 99% melee and has no enchant rape its literally impossible to kill the architect.
