Going AFK In Abyssea Parties

Okay I was finally guilty of something 2 nights ago that has been a major pet peeve of mine for quite some time.

I usually play late at night, and when my Abyssea exp parties are winding down, it usually anywhere from 1 AM to 5 AM EST in the states. When it is that late at night and ppl are getting tired, it makes it more difficult for parties to catch ppl that just afk and leech. (Taking 5-10 minute breaks is different than just leaving your character logged on and going to bed)

So I've always had the position if you are too tired to continue, even if you are just DD'ing, and even if you don't have a replacement. just say so, warp out, and drop party so you are not a dead weight. It's normally not that hard to find a replace at any time of night for an good exp party that is already established.

Anyone else have a thought or position on this?

People are lazy, They will not just warp or log when they can get a couple merit/s or level/s by just afking and go to bed or w/e.

does it come with cake?
and if you see someone afking/leeching like mad...just kick them i like people who say that. makes my life easier, but like a 20min warning would be nice so you can start looking for a rep instead of people who are like "oh, i'm sleepy, cya" and leave and you're like WTF that was sudden -_-;

People with children annoy the *** out of me. I will always remember the shitty BRD who had a macro to AFK every 5-10 *** minutes; "baby argo brb 5 mnis"... Needless to say she was kicked before we'd capped any form of light >.>

Love shout parties...

I know what you mean, but you also have to remember...

hang on, brb.

There are people who actually give a ***about exp parties?

There's this *** assclown on Lakshmi named Healthy/Muhnayz. Twice over this weekend, he has put together an abyssea alliance and then after a while went on perma afk, mooching with both of his characters.

In Misareaux, he was hiding behind the wall behind the bugard camp so no one could see him leeching. In vunkerl, he was hiding behind the bushes behind the murex camp so no one could see him leeching.

The only thing that pisses me off more than people joining an abyssea party and doing nothing, is when people put together an abyssea party with the sole purpose of mooching and doing nothing. We booted his afk *** and reformed the alliance without him. I'd imagine he timed out, but I don't know for sure.

That's what assist/pl/autobuff bots are for!

It does get annoying when people give absolutely 0 warning. I guess common party manners were thrown out the window for good once abys came out.

However, I have been invited to some absolutely horrible parties before. When a party sucks too much, I just leave. *** that ***, wasting my time by putting me in a crappy party just for some mediocre exp that the leech will only benefit from.
One comes to mind, where the COR was the only form of "healing" in my party. They tried to maintain the party using dancers roll /facepalm.

This made me lol. when they hide behind something you knowing they are doing it with intent. it's one thing to fall asleep in the middle of the fighting camp, and another to hide like a little #%@!#.

At any rate, you that when you can only keep you eyes open to engage and WS and that's it. it's time to say good night.

Am I the only one who would prefer someone who is AFK half the time but has those weird things called "Atmas" and uses another odd tool called "food" to kill faster over someone who uses neither and does 100 damage WSs and TPs in full aurore?

i lol'd

My husband, Used to always end up falling asleep well seeking well 4-5 years ago I got on his butt, and told him if your tired log out.

If you are falling asleep leave the party. It's to do that then look like an *** hole.

Well he learned.

I'm always the 1st to kick people out of abyssea parties for leeching. We are working hard and you getting a free ride f that!!!

I am also agaist keywhore leeching. Yes they are doing something but what's the *** point of having a job at 85 if you have no *** clue how to play the damn job!!! People take a little pride in our achivements.

^ See so many of them... So *** many.

For the Store TP, yo!

i'm fine with keywhoring~ especially if you get one of those abyssea parties where theres tons of chests everywhere. as long if the keyleecher is like /somethinguserfullike(cor,whm,brd) for some mediocre buffs/heals and actually openings chests in a timely manner

It's funny when you catch someone who has been AFK for 1+ hour, and they come back the second you boot them with some lame excuse "Oh I fell asleep and just woke up". How convinient.

I usually put in my seacom though that I dont wanna join alliances who got any form of leeches.

I'd still prefer ppl to just drop than afk it. What's the difference? If they just afk and go to bed, it's worse than just dropping. You are still down a man, and you can't replace him until he/she are actually kicked.

oooo :x I have some funny stories about a certain individual that would set up these so called "godly" abyssea parties then would end up going afk 99% of the time, we ended up booting this certain individual and wouldn't you know it, as soon as that happened they magically came back and started to complain, we gave him another chance, but he did it again.


Was funny as ***.

Food is for chumps, and atma costs cruor which I use to sell abyssea gear to make my gil to pay for my NQ hauby!

Last time I called someone out for AFKing their 'online girlfriend' threw a *** fit in what can only be called Frenglish and tried to get me kicked... even though I was the sole DD in the alliance capable of doing over 500 WS.

Shiva; made of lol.

By itself that was just mildly funny, but something about Hansel Male Model avatar made it even more funny.

with me trio boxing, I've found myself getting xp 100x faster than I would in a mass afk pt, I just cant take abyssea pts, usually its only 1 healer, 1 buffer, 1 DD, and 13 afk people.

When i see someone afk
1- 15mn+ i ask leader kick him (strangely 90% of them come back assap...)
2- When its 30mn i say : you kick him or i warp
3- I warp cause an ally leavin afk peoples for long is boud to make shitty xp and finish soon w

Lol so do people prefer Afk people or Blatently Auto-botting people?

I prefer the auto botting people. At least they are doing something.

If you have to afk for a few minutes that's fine. If you afk for 30 minutes, then come back for 10, then afk again for 30, well then *** you.

huh... Hey welcome #1 Epin Fenrir server, there a tons of 'short bus ppl like this here :)'

That just retard if what you just said is: if you have good stuff then you can AFK 50%... Is retard as the 2 guy in same LS that built an Abyssea PT and started ninjar everything saying: Well is for our LS ('Give me a god damn break')

Quetzalcoatl.Buckeyespud had a good point, and ppl should stop thinking they are special...

On side note, if your superiority is that insane, why don't you just go Duo? Oh wait is it bc you could not go AFK'ish? ... w/e...
