Drakkar AFK`ers = Rewards/Achivement


Recommended Posts

So ive done Drakkar the last couple of weeks and every day, some ppl just meet up and go afk and i actually think its same ppl over and over. Not only is it annoying for active players but they also take up map space for ppl that actually want to participate. To top it off, you can actually just stand on the ledge of second stage, go afk and get the Nimble achievement AND get rewards when boss is done. I have screen shots of ppl doing this while stacking Nimble.

Doubt it`s intended so you might wanna consider how you activate these ppl so they just cant leech. Maybe X-amount of damage/heal is needed to be taking into the loot-pool/achivement.

My routine is to do the escort for the daily kills and then AFK above the wolf shrine for a bit while I do something else outside of the game. I’ll then move to the first room to monitor its HP while I continue to do what I was doing outside of the game. At 20% I’ll participate in killing the champ and the boss.

I used to participated completely in events for years but stopped caring and gave up after seeing how so many people put in the least amount of effort. I don’t really see anything that Anet could do. Sure they can make the achievement for difficult to cheese but it’s not going to stop someone who puts in just enough effort to qualify for the rewards.

If all else fails, I can just stand on the boss’ foot the entire time and hold down my #1 key. That’ll put me on par with 95% of the people at the event.

Can confirm as the first few days I reported ledge leechers and low and behold I saw this vocal forum dudes name I reported via the in game placebo system. He also was gone the entire fight after and I think he WP to steal the original nimble achieve but can't confirm. Then I started a forum battle with him outta spite cause if he'd cheese that achieve he'd cheese the strike achieves he advocates for.

There are definitely people standing on the ledge but I doubt they’re actually doing anything against the TOS to warrant actioned being taken against them. I wouldn’t say that all of them are going for the achievement nor would I make the assumption that they didn’t earn it by doing it the intended way. I also wouldn’t equate how one does an open world achievement with how that individual does a strike mission achievement.

And? Just what I witnessed. Guesses and assumptions aside and noted I couldn't confirm but I do think if a player cheese thru any content would increase the chances he would thru other content but again only can put my observation and guess of what I witnessed. Just like I think you saying you will 1 spam at drakk putting less effort means you would do the same at same at AB or TD but can prove nothing. Only you know.

There’s certainly a correlation.

I said spamming auto attack as that’s the general meme about open world players and how much they contribute towards meta events. DPS meters also happen to favor this belief as most of the squad are pulling numbers at, or even less, than you’d expect from someone just doing auto attacks in DPS gear.

I certainly understand that it can be frustrating that others may not be putting in the same effort as you whether it be towards an achievement or for the rewards tied to an event.

I have told many afk's in many games allready.Why play the game if your gona afk?

Cause seriously there are many pople in the world that cant afford a PC, or even play the game, and your there just leaching being entitled while I feal bad for thoughs that cant even afford a pc to even play a game.

The only way anet can fix this is add a better time out timer for the ones not participating. If not participating from 30 to 40 seconds you have no credit at all. You also have to be participating for over 2 minuts being active at all time. Hitting autoatacks dose not count as participating at all.

They could certainly do something like that for the achievement but it would go against the principles that they stated before the game released to do this for rewards as well.

Not disagreeing overly but this boss is bloody boring and drags on for so long that i can almost understand -why- so many people wait till the last 25%.

Seriously the boss needs its HP reduced like..1/4 so it doesnt take 20 minutes.
