miracleman58 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 In every world you will come across 1 or 2 people standing in Lumbridge basement casting spells on spiders wearing melee armour. I dont understand why suddenly everyone seems to be doing this and what is the point? Gettind 4xp per wind strike isnt going to get you 99 mage anytime soon and would still cost you 30m. Anyone care to elaborate? 1593th to 99 Farming - July 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggiwhplar Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Yeah I see this too in every world. They think they're being clever but they're just wasting all their time and money, despite the fact that it's "AFK." Just report them for AFK'ing or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veryhyper Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Its less than 40k exp over night, how is it worth it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribbzldinho Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Afk'ing IS against the rules, I just report them under macroing (I think; its under one section I know). Whether Jagex have taken action against those accounts I dont know, but I really wish they would take stern action against it. All they have to do is log into worlds and check their account for how long they've been idle for (which im sure is possible considering they can track mouse movements).

Dire_Wolf Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 They are AFKING spiders. It's against rules and is the latest trend that have appeared... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpx Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 As most of people have already said, they are afking mage, but few grasp that what they are doing can't be punished by jagex rules- firstly, unless you can prove they are not within a certain distance from their computer screen(and jagex has not defined the term ''being away from keyboard'') it's not reportable or punishable, thus the large number or reports and small number of bans(only way to determine is to watch their progress over 72 hours). Why are they doing it? cheap magic experiance with little conveniance. First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20. March, 2014.First to 4664 Port Score on 2.

Master_Smither Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 To all of you saying "ban them". Why? How is this bothering you in any way? It's unfair to all the players that do follow the rules. Also, if they start letting people get away with small things like this people will think it's alright to afk train and just do it on a larger scale. maybe, but still is, what about bandits? they get a lot of xp overnight with barely any risk, that should definately checked on by mods alot, alas . . . Not many people AFK bandits anymore but I have seen acouple J mods around there checking on them in the past.

From Jagex: AFK training is Away From Keyboard training. While you are playing on our games, you must be at the computer. Away-from-keyboard training is not allowed, and you should log out when you leave the computer. Source However, that's a very general definition. As long as the AFKers are physically at their computers, by that definition, they aren't breaking the rules. I'd like to see if Jagex clarifies this to make it include have the RS window minimized or in the background or whatever.

Jagex has said it's fine to go to other windows while your character does something, but if that's all they're doing and they don't respond they could be reported and possibly banned. I imagine Jagex's system tracks no activity besides splashing over hours and hours before they decide if they are AFK or not.

Dire_Wolf Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Let me clear some things up: 1) Minimizing windows is not against rules: Runescape window+Youtube video window 2) AFK means being away from keyboard. It's not easy to know if they are doing it or not. As for Bandits, many players went there so that they didn't have to click monsters... They didn't go there to AFK. 3) It's clear that many of those spider splashers are AFKing....why would you: - Pay for membership - Get a very lousy magic experience And it's not like you can't do alchemy/string jewellery (Lunar) and watch a movie. I am positive many of those players are doing the spider splashing because they can AFK it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
