this afk arena is ruining the game

[Exalt]

Before the update for YEARS AND YEARS I used to be able to log into trenchwars and find an elim game going on during ANY time of the day

now with this retarded afk arena the game seems dead, and no one specs in elim anymore so you effectively killed the arena, its sad cuz this game is dieing as it is, why make it so that I have one less reason to log on?

[Dameon Angell]

Yeah, this AFK arena is ridiculous. Let people idle where ever they want. You guys said that we can't have people being idle because of the strain on the bandwidth. Now, you're allowing it, might as well let us sit where we want.

[Jeenyuss]

look, i really don't care if i idle or not, i'm usually just too lazy to turn off continuum. if you're going to let us idle though, please let us do it in private arenas or at least give the afk arena a blueout. when i come back from being afk the most fucking annoying thing is having to scroll through shit-loads of nonsensical banter and bitching. christ.

What Dameon said.

I have barely logged on after I saw the "I'm a gay bot, please go ?afk", and that I got disconnected.

[Nockm]

Carry on with the allegation that afk people adds too much to the server bandwidth costs; but then allow people to donate €1 or $1 to add a nick/IP to a Mr. Arrogant immunity list if they're that desperate not to be booted.

There's always the option to afk in another zone if you're really that much of a cheapskate too.

agreed with Dameon

this is just madness!

Capitalism at it's finest.
Nockm, send me your resume if you are looking for a new career opportunity. :grin:

[Doc Flabby]

its sad when there are more people in ?go afk than in pub.

[inaphyt]

60 people in afk.... 3rd of population

[Kolar]

Maybe we should focus on private and public arenas only. Most people hide out in privates to gain usage and the publics need to remain open to players.

[jeem]

the grain of salt is that we may be attracting more newbies with a higher population- even if half of them are afk

[soup]

hahahaha

FINALLY

the wb'ers come crying, first you guys said "belim is dying it sucks" look who is the champ in the end!!!

[Weak]

I agree with exalt and dameon, it's just ridiculous.
Game is dying more and more every day.

[Jerome Scuggs]

speaking as a person who has spent several years trying to find ways to reap insane amounts of usage without actually playing, i'm going to toss in my nay vote, simply because this is giving newbie fuckers a free pass.

back in the day when staff didn't hand everyone everything on a silver, bot-run platter... :wub:
