Not everybody has observed Fort Aspenwood, and some people have never been to Fort Aspenwood, so may I politely ask you to give us a little bit of detail? There are AFKers everywhere from Ascalon to Random Arenas as far as I know. What have you seen in Fort Aspenwood that makes AFKer's there different than other places?

no, another thread posted a response from ANet that while afk'ers are lame they are not violating anything in the TOS (they technically aren't doing ANYTHING).

some guildies thought we witnessed the fix for it the other night, only to be proven wrong. while doing a bonus for a tyrian mission, one guild had his second account in there sitting afk at the back while we went through the mission with his other account (and the rest of us).. after abit of time the second account disconnected, so we thought they were automatically disconnecting afk'ers. we found out otherwise when we got 3 afk'ers in a run in aspenwood later on that didn't disconnect (and they weren't the bots that just follow someone).

Fort Aspenwood (Mission)
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Fort_Aspenwood

People are leeching faction by sitting in there AFK. The losing team gets around 320 faction now and the winning team around 600 so they get faction regardless. Of course this means one less team member per AFK'er for the team. It is annoying to the other people that are actually trying to enjoy the mission and beat the opponents (as well as getting just a slight bit more faction, though not much, by winning).

After seeing the amount of ppl going AFK and how I got verbally abused by a guy who was AFking, I think I'll go AFK as well. I found no use to be nice to anyone on GW anymore.

Well that's a generalisation. There are plenty of nice people on GW, its just that the bad ones spoil the rest. If I have a fruitbowl with 29 fresh, healthy apples and 1 rotten apple, the bad apple would wreck the whole fuitbowl and make it look bad. You would want all of the apples to be fresh. Unfortunately 1 in 30 GW players have a "rotten" attitude and this spoils it for the good people

From another perspective, some people would say that you have way RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING too many apples...

:-) sorry, had to be said lol

I agree though there are plenty of non-turds out there..at least 7 for every 8 in most cases :-)

I belive that at least some of those AFK-ers in FA are using bots to help them aquire that faction. But since that i dont have any hard evidence to prove my theory i cannot say that for sure.

You know, some people stand still until the counter goes down, then they get into posistion >>

If I find leechers in Aspenwood I just leave and join a new game, I can't do anything about the Leechers, but I will not help them get what they want.

it wouldn't be an empty mission if there are people trying to legitimately enjoy it and are complaining about the afkers.
