I'm all for players being AFK for hours and hours on end. God knows, I do it a lot myself (especially since the twins were born, seems I have less time now than ever to play - mostly I just hang around as Ivac and pop back to res people every so often).
However...if you are a bard, and you go AFK, would you PLEASE have the common courtesy to stop singing? Especially if you AFK in the room someone else is AFKing in?
Please remember that your songs send a message to the whole room, every three rounds. When you're AFK for a few hours, doing that in my room does nothing but fill up my scrollback buffer. It's just spam!
The worst offenders will sing a useless song until their mana runs out, and then have their triggers swap to renew to get it all back, and then swap back and go on for ever.
Long live long term AFK. But down with room emotes every 3 rounds while long term AFK! Aarrrgh!

At least the bard's being productive while he's AFK. :twisted:
Honestly, aren't there more important things to gripe about? As Lili said, AFK somewhere else or just don't AFK at all. On the other side of the coin, people gripe about people who constantly AFK period. Just live and let live, people, I mean come on.

yeah and bag every single rogue who bots skills ... (triggering on hide/sneak)
people go afk .. deal with it :P .. maybe the person only meant to be afk a few moments and it turned into a longer period ... we dont know and we can't assume ..
what i hate is when people afk in potentially aggressive areas then bitch when they are killed (ie: TP)
