schokelmei.8271 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 You most likely did something wrong. They normally don't ban for nothing. Did you behave in chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokomis.5076 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Well you obviously farmed by just standing around with a necro I suppose and let your minions kill things.When you're not around to answer a GMs messages, they assume you're afk-farming, which is not allowed. You have to be able to respond to a GMs message, if he tries to find out, if you're an afk-bot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOE.2041 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 there is no rule that forbids farming with minionsyes, i was making tea and sandwitch and when i returned i got thisand i wasnt using macro or anything to simulate presence and not get auto kicked by serverlike many bots there do for weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigur.9453 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 if you are not on the keyboard, its afk farming, which is a bannable offense. i would link you the statement, but i am pretty sure you can handle the searchbar yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vayne.8563 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Generally, they don't ban people right away for infractions anyway. The odds are that the thing you were banned for has nothing to do with what you were doing at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get a little more information, especially if it was behavior rather than for AFK farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healix.5819 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Being banned for unacceptable behavior is generally because you said something bad in chat, or had an inappropriate name. If it was for AFKing, it would have likely said you were banned for using 3rd party programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glider.5792 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Wait, soo. Lets say im playing a minion mancer and doing idk what. Suddenly something important happens in real life, so i step away from PC to deal with real life. During that time my necro and minions are still in game cause i didnt bother loging out. I suddenly come back and see i got banned for... AFK farming ?? Cause i had to go away for a bit to attend RL business ? How does that make sense ?There has to be something else, and not "afk farming" while away for 13min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search for it.That is correct, but only as long as the character was using skills. If the ban was in fact for afk-farming this would mean either a skill was put on autocast prior to going to "make tea", or 3rd party software caused skills to be used. Both bad ideas.

It'd take days/weeks for your account to go from being reported to being investigated by a GM, so it's very unlikely that anything would happen unless you're a regular AFK farmer. Where you're going AFK is also going to matter, so there's no problem if you're AFK in a town or safe spot, whereas AFKing in an obvious farm spot is only going to show you're intentionally doing it. Exactly how long they wait for you to respond is unknown, though if you're caught using multiple skills, they'll probably stop waiting and assume you're using a macro. They have said they give a generous amount of time to respond and have hinted that 3 hours is too long, so considering the map kicks you out after 30~50 minutes, it's probably that long.If you don't want to risk anything, simply exit the game, wait in the SPvP lobby or put your pets away before AFKing in an active area for an unknown amount of time.

Theros.1390 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 @FOE.2041 said:there is no rule that forbids farming with minionsNo there isnt. However, you have to make the difference between afk farming, and unattentive farming. If you're watching a movie on your second screen while your minions are killing some adds for you, It means that you are in front of your keyboard, and then are able to respond if a GM decide to whisp you and verify you're not afk.If you're away from your keyboard, for exemple : if you're making a cup of tea in your kitchen, it means that you are not in front of your keyboard while your minions make the job, and then, that you're not ok.And this is the difference : Unattentive farming is allowed, afk farming isnt. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
