Hmm, I guess i have mixed feelings about this subject. I mean, I myself have a macro that strip mines. The only thing i have to do is when i get to a wall, change the direction of the macro. I usually Sit and watch TV, or surf the web while i do this. Once in a great while, I'll get up to go throw some more wood in the woodstove, take a piss, or grab something out the the fridge/refill my drink, and it so happens that i got the macro gump RIGHT when i left and when i get back i end up taking a run to the healer. I have had the GM's swing by every once in a while as well and they've been more then generous in standing there a few secounds to see if I was around.

So the question is... What is the deffinate discription of "AFK" Macroing?

Is it "Not staring at your character as he swings away for hours at a time for Ore/Fish/lumber?"

Is it "Not being able to hit the Anti-Macro Gump in time when it checks you?"

Is it " Not being able to answer Gms who check on you randomly when they feel you might be matching their deffinition of AFK macroing"

If your at your computer but surfing the web... is that AFK macroing?
If your going to the bathroom or getting somthing out the fridge... Is that AFK macroing?
If your looking at your TV and playing Halo 3 while sitting in your computer chair and listening to the sound of "Clink Clink Clink of your picaxe" is that AFK macroing?

I know GM's can play "Weirdness" Sounds through the game that players can hear.... Maby When A GM shows up they can play a wav. I mean... If you can hear it.. then obviously your not THAT far "Away From the Komputer" ... If not.. then maby you are....

EDIT: ok , i didnt see the few posts above mine.. but i just wont remove this because it took so long to type ^.^
