first of all, an afk set is not cheap
your point is? so if people have expensive gears they can own the game, become a map landlord and can do anything they want? hell no dude!
you do not own the game when you AFK train, you just TRAIN differently
second, why do you tell people how to play the game ?
coz people like you ruin the gaming experience. party play is almost obsolote since current gears encourage solo play. so we are degraded from party play to solo play to automated solo play? where is the MMO? this trend is really killing social aspect of the game.
when 3rd job got released, it is already a SOLO play game. i talk all day while my char is in AFK. that social aspect cannot be claimed
third, if warpportal implemented the autocast items and we use it wisely, why ban it? that would cause a HUGE refund propaganda if it gets banned.
you can always use it for active leveling. i myself use reflect autocast in active way, to level my super novice. and it is a high DPS one, not low DPS one like people use today, since most of them focused on self defense autocast that focused on healing and slow killing. Resulting in mob hold. Well, we need to really see the investigation if those AFK-ers are the culprit behind low spawn, which is not proven yet.
i take magma dungeon 2 as example. it has high spawn with AFK people vs regular 1 person training ground. I did go there to train actively too <3
fourth, just play the game and enjoy it the way you like <3
i cant enjoy this game if the i cant finish the BB as fast as i use to. waste of zeny. cant finish the BB as fast due to low spawn. meh.
that is your way to play. also, if you invest in beelzebub wing I dont think spawn rate matters at that point.
also, if you hate AFK LEVELING why focus on one where you can just REMOVE the mercenary system and fix the AUTOAI IN HOMUNCULUS to get lasagna and orc dungeon map cleared ?
well, those maps are supposed to be homun leveling area. no legit player levels there unless if they love to get low exp per hour. are you perhaps planning to ask GM to make copy of nogg road just only for AFK levelers? do it! i approve that! as long as you dont mingle yourself with real levelers, i dont mind.
no copy of no map. so it is okay to train your homun afk and other things non afk? that is kind of meh. you just broke your own point trying to battle the AFK part of the game
here's my 2 cents
