If someone is watching TV or coding in another window and is alerted of the AFK gump, they still have to "be around" enough to manually respond to the gump. That is in NO WAY as bad as leaving a mining macro on overnight which automatically checks the right gump button or auto resses.
I'm fairly confident that avoidance of manually checking the afk gump is what Pande is referring to as "AFK macroing" I hope that he can reply soon so that you will stop calling everyone names and acting like your opinion is the only one worthwhile.
Why should they be alerted? How is AFK macroing, but not AFK macroing, not afk macroing?
You see, my opinion seems to be the only one worthwhile because you're supporting a system that basically makes it worthless to have the gump whatsoever. Wow, a warning because you're watching TV. You're AFK.
You make no sense when you try to define not being present into two different categories. I can understand sitting at your keyboard, coding, which means you're not [SIZE="7"]away from keyboard.[/SIZE]
This is just another way to try and sidestep as closely as possible and dodge the rules. I can watch TV all day long, then get up and go click the gump once a warning comes up. You're still AFK.
I suppose if I steal something and I'm not caught means I never stole in the first place.
