Recently someone made a post complaining about the AFK mobs.
As usual, however, someone tried to defend them; it seems no matter how unpopular or hated a game mechanic is (like the Jump Quests, most of which were changed to be optional, and the much-reviled PIC system, which was eventually done away with) there's always someone who will try to defend them. Oddly, while this poster claimed they were necessary, they also admited there were better options that could be implemented.
So, I had an idea - lets put this to a vote, eh?

I didn't mention you, specifically, Fuhreak. But now that you mention it, you said, I quote:
"The anti-AFK mobs will never kill you unless you're actually AFK once you have enough arcane force. Put points into your hyper stat for it and work on your dailies.
After a few days the mobs will no longer bother you."
Sounds like you were defending it, IMOHO. The big problems with that, by the way, is one, is that more Arcana Force value increases as you advance in level. Starting a new map (like going from Vanishing to Chu-Chu for the first time) is enough of a nightmare as it is without having these things to deal with.
The AFK mobs never pose any real threat except if you are AFK or can otherwise not control your character.
They do serve a real purpose in Korean, but much less of one here (monster collection), I think they could remove the 10% touch damage and the game would function the same in our region.
But they won't do that, so they remain a problem, and I sincerely believe the cost far outweighs the benefits.
Would you object if they were removed entirely?
btw i'd prefer if you didn't reference me in such way :S (while not directly calling out the names, its kinda obvious who your referring to)...and it kinda put me in an awkward spot being backed like that.....state your opinion as well if you wish but dont drag me as reference in your threads plz :S
as for Fuhreak...ya he went aggresive againts my oppinion in regard to afk mobs but i dont rly care.....its just words in the wind if he can't back it up with a solid reason as why he was againts what i suggested..... dont worry about me Blaster....i dont flinch unless they're able to point a solid reason as to why it would not be a good idea
btw...i did realize this forum is kin of dead land.......like there almost no one active here...i'am use to active forum with ppl making like 20-40 thread a day
so polls are probably worthless....even my poll in the suggestion section has like 0 ppl clicking on it......probably a ton of twitter ppl i would assume..or maybe reddit
its sad when official forum are more dead than other chat websites :S
If they allow for the completion of the collection groups they're a part of, absolutely. It would be nice to be able to go AFK for more than a couple of seconds while you take care of something else.
If you want active, you'll want to go to the discord. Not only are polls not going to do much, but this is the wrong section of the forums for such a thing regardless.
We have a separate forum for suggestions.
I agree, discord doesn't need my phone number to verify that I am not a bot.
ffs. if your going to keep these anti afk mobs in the game at least fix the high chair exploit...
My point exactly. I can't stand those guys. The worst map hog my guild had to deal with pretended he couldn't speak English when we asked him to leave. The last time we dealt with him was kinda funny, it was like, well - ever see the movie Men in Black?
