[Poll] Avernal Realm - AFK Mode Enabled or Disabled?

[R2CS_Pat]

We were very pleased to release our newest battleground, the Avernal Realm last week. We have heard some positive feedback and some complaints about the new activity, however we would like to ask the R2 community to improve the battleground as a whole. Currently, AFK mode is enabled within the Avernal Realm, however various players have suggested for it to be removed within the battleground. What do you have to say? Would you like for AFK mode to be enabled or disabled in the Avernal Realm? This poll will be held for the following week and if the response is great enough, AFK mode may or may not be removed from the battleground. Also, do not be afraid to respond to this thread if you have any suggestions or ideas on how to improve this newly released battleground.

Both arguments have their points, however it is a battle ground event and having it enabled would make it more of a; who can start AFK first with the best set up wins then the other point of disabling it; this being enabled would make it more like a kill these MOBs quest than a battle ground but with better rewards.This would make players have to fight mobs and the exact same mobs too over and over again (not to mention lag), this can be quite repetitive and frustrating. I Cannot really say which would be a better choice as it is all personal preference, I for one chose yo have it enabled as I usually do not have time for these events as I frequently have other things to do.

Keep it enabled, people talking about "skill" being involved there is little to no skill involved in a rotation of key clicks for 30 minutes straight. They are delusional.

[Elantra]

Well using afk mode for it imo makes it kinda lame, but indeed 30 minutes without afk mode just tunneling into a boss could be quite tiresome.. need more options than tunneling the boss imo, like the other platforms should have more enemies that respawn instantly rather than with a wait time. It's a good idea in theory but in practise it just favours certain classes, biggest spenders, would rather there actually be some player skill involved. It is currently a massive snoozefest. Would rather if the top points were given to all who pass a certain damage threshold rather than the player at the top gets nearly double the points of second place. Even better would be if it were more of a teamwork thing where you can party freely and the point is to take on something tough together, you get points for what you contribute, be that damage or healing, or maybe even cursing, I know it's likely impossible to implement such a complicated system. The rewards from this are great but it's still not a fun activity after the first time =s

Obviously people who want it enabled are the higher dps who are too lazy.

Let them work their *** off.

[lottox]

mmm
if short time, disable its not problem for us
but this arena is 30 min, how can we click many skill at 30min n must hurry
n then we still lag when many ppl use aoe skill, same way if disable afk

VOTE ENABLE AFK

U'd think people would get that we need afk for the simple fact that with 20 or so players crowded round mobs we wouldnt be able to click on them and then chaos would ensue as only one person at a time could attack and would die and this would repeat som much that it would just get really stupid or funny depending on how u look at it lol

really don't see the difference considering you can choose to not use AFK mode any time you want or not use it so enabling or disabling it in avernal wouldn't matter to some people who are used to it like they are in seng but i guess some ppl like to talk while they do this event. if there's lag it just means you're in a populated platform and should move to a less occupied zone and continue to DPS. I voted to enable it mainly cause its fun to talk to other players while doing DPS and if i wanted to do serious damage I'd turn off afk mode and manually do it to increase my damage output like BrotherVT said because when you afk your skills are more likely try to fire off all at once and undesired results follow but if you don't care bout it then you don't mind afk mode one bit.

Avery good point if u dont want to use afk dont but dont ruin it for people who do want afk

RealWangLee! SUP BREH! I haven't seen you in a while since your little "your staff treats people like ****" speech.
Okay? Doesn't matter about me being a Mod or not.
Even if I wasn't a Mod, I would still say what I say.
I got 5th place in Avernal Realm today without AFK because the Rangers in my server like to knock the boss towards the portal in order to make AFKers enter the portal and AFK there the whole time - while I'm backing up from the boss a bit so I don't get lured into their little dandy trap of theirs. "It's utterly pathetic the tone and remarks some of you make."
Then why are you still here? You obviously don't like the way we talk - and you seem to care about that the most when it comes to gaming. That whole "I've invested too much time and money into this game" excuse is old and idiotic - so I hope that's not your excuse.
The way I speak is retrospective as a player - not as a "silly & nice mods" perception - as you seem to have, apparently.

Compensation? Nah breh. We get no compensation. What I earn as being a Mod is the right to ban / edit / do other Forum-like things that oblige to the Forum Rules.
FYI - as a Rogue, I need to use specific skills first over others if I want to inflict the most damage out of everyone.
I can't just have randomly spammed skills 24/7 and AFK hoping to get 2x more than what I would usually get.
If I AFKed, I would expect 50% less damage than what I inflicted earlier from just spamming the skills within an incorrect pattern.
Oh, I'd like to also add that I came in 5 minutes late - with one of my Guild Mates being 500,000 damage ahead of me. I still got ahead of her by a good 300,000 by the end.

"...from what i can see, it's mainly Mod's saying disable..."
Okay. So we have almost 35+ Mods is what you're saying all voting to disable.
Cool. I didn't know we had that many people.
You should think about what you say here before you say it.

Point is - some classes inflict more damage than others - regardless of Soul | Equipment | Pets
I inflicted more damage than a Scion - while I'm only a Lv. 66 Mortal Rogue - with 5.3k PATK - No pet used.

You get what I'm saying here?
Continue your trolling - if you may.

I not getting involved in this actual arguement at all but I will say this, players getting mouthy well it happens and yeh ok they shouldnt but shouldnt mods really take a better stance than lowering themselves and getting involved so much in petty gripes? I dont want to argue ok I just saying that mods are the professionals here or whatever so be the bigger person Im not meaning this to be offensive in anyway either ok so please dont take it badly

[DTMPrasetia]

[BestHunter]

Enable plz

[serid]

enabled, please. I do more damage when I control my character manually, but I sometimes need the afk to attack the enemy, since too many other players get in the way of clicking it properly.

[denly]

Enable afk!
