I agree with boy! these afk players are the same as people who use bots! lazy to the point of neither thinking of the players and they put afks on all game maps that low level players getting boards, benefiting from the active players! please do something about it! I can not take it anymore!

[VModCinnamon]

This is the official stance in regarding AFK leveling:
 

Having consulted with the elder ones from the before 2010. The traditional ruling regarding kill stealing as as follows.

Please do not engage in ill mannered behavior against other users. Kill stealing from players is ill mannered behavior and can result in punishment. As the players in question are not actively engaging the monsters or leading them back to their party they have no claim to hold the monsters perpetually.

If someone is kill stealing from you please submit a ticket so that the GM team can assist you further. Do not engage in ill mannered behavior against a user you are accusing of kill stealing as that will only result in both users being in trouble. If the GMs are not properly investigating your ticket please PM Barracuda so he can review your case. Please note that the best reports include a short replay file of the kill stealing action.

That all being said. Don't use this as carte blanche to harass afk levelers. If they are fighting face tanking one or two monsters leave them alone. But if they have hordes of monsters than they cannot expect to lock down a large percentage of the maps spawn table for a significant period of time.

By reading that, AFK leveling is endorsed, and is not a bannable offence. From what I see, the issue here is not about low spawn numbers anymore but on the community shifting to AFK leveling methods. If the game allows it, per rules and mechanics then there is nothing can be done than to gradually accept it.
 
If this to change, the game must be programmed in a way to auto boot AFK levelers. Though let's face it, it is unlikely to happen. So if you are kindly looking for immediate solutions, there are none other than what's been stated by the staff. Changes/fixes must come from kRO.

" If you are not here to 100% agree and +1 me then you are against me and automatically wrong. Boooo get out"

Sorry, thats the only thing that comes across from your posts other than the OP.

[YongkySH]

cant even get the name right

[KielConstantine]

wat?

 

 

I know it's pain in the *** , but let's live with it.

I have the map full mobs of scarabas/ said maps you prefer every 1 - 2 days after the maint (friday,Saturday, sometimes sunday still a lot of mobs too).

So that's the golden moment to leveling, farming, etc on said maps.

 

 

Just restart the server every 2 days. That'll fix the spawing problem temporally.

[VModCinnamon]

Further derail and user call out will result in either account suspension or topic termination as appropriate.

This is a warning.

I support this topic!! if only were like 1-2 afks? Ok, but you go to Nogg, Jup, (even ti sometimes bugg because of them?)

Well, reading the topic and thinking like a IT guy, i can say:

Something with Auto Spell / Reflect is wrong, since i was playing i saw this. But Odin said to me leave this game before i got a heart attack. Well, its seems the server don't understand the mob was killed by reflect or something on autocast and don't spam another monster for replace this one.

Why you guys don't try check it? Just about rules don't help (well don't ks guys). Ragnarok is dead since Gravity don't give a good support for the players.

Just saying about "I'll ban hammer everyone" don't help on fix the problem.

And AFK guys, please, wait a moment, don't do it for now, wait the bug be fixed before start leveling again.

[Scuba]

We really just need to make the autocast skills do 10x damage as regular skills so afks don't hold the spawns as long. That will totally solve the problem.

[Nirvanna21]

Nonono, we need to take all the auto casters... and push them over there.

I still think people are just looking for someone to blame their problems on. You don't have to face reality, or take responsibility, when you have a witch to burn, right? Sadly, once you've burned enough witches, the settlement stops thriving, or in this case, the server stops being profitable, and then it dies out and everyone's forced to move on.

 

Really, I think what bothers me most about the world is that even if they burned that very last witch, only to find themselves alone, they'd still be in utter denial that they ever brought the problem on themselves.

[andxres]

There are 3 solution for afk player:
-KS their mobs using your AOE skill
-make 2 consecutive weeks of full passive mobs on gramps.
-DIsable autocast effect on gramp maps.

No more discussion because even you add more mob or change map, afk player still play or increase if you add more mob.

If you think you could find win-win solution between manual player and afk player, you are certainly wrong.

Sacrifice are needed for changes.

How do you differentiate AFK leveling and Bot leveling. Most of AFK levelers go back to the same places all the time. This reminds me how AHK is ok but Autopot is not but then I'm curious of how do you know that the person is sitting on their keyboard 

[ChickenAttack]

from Ragnarok Online to AFK lvling Online now... RIP   

[VanishingPoint]

Healthy Ragnarok > Active WoE/PVP > Normal Leveling Methods > AFK level > Population below 1200.

 

Not only do they know how to kill the most important aspect of the game (WoE). They're also good at killing PVM lol.

AHK still requires manual input to be efficient, where as autopot is a set and forget tool that triggers based on the users remaining HP%. You could have ahk always running and pressing the potion button every so often but it would either be useless or a super waste of supplies depending on the situation. That is the difference between those two and why one is illegal and the other isn't.

PVM isn't suffering because of autocasting, it is suffering from the fact that in game content is boring and OCP have made it so that there are only a small handful of items and mvp cards that are worth grinding, with most of the funds from these items literally being pulled to afford billion zeny price tag cash shop items.

This is half the reason the game is dying. And the other half is due to being so far behind on updates.

 

And those that think autocast is the issue, really need to get a clue!
