Share Parties with 'Afk' players

Post by Azilius »

Recently I've been grinding in Niya General Shared parties and some (usually 6 -.-) of the people are botting or going 'afk' frequently. From the moment I knew I have been debating on whether or not it is legitimate to grind in the party..It's not like I'm being powerleveled, or leaching the majority of the time, I actually grind as if I were grinding solo. I feel I do my fair share (if not more) in the party, especially since I end up tanking everything, including party giants, but the fact remains that I still benefit somewhat from the work of the botters (sort of..sometimes I make less exp than if I were soloing). I want to know what you guys think, is it legit, is it illegitimate, is it just a sad way of saying I'm legit? I made a poll because I was bored -.-

I was auto-invited by a bot coming out of Hotan i found out that there was 2 lvl 80's in the party and 1 lvl 49....

I went all the way up to where the level 80 was and sat my arse down somewhere safe it gave me over 50%. i was lvl 70 at the time.

Lots of people say 'Sit down and benefit from them while you can!' but truly that's just being powerleveled by a bot. In my opinion, that's just about as bad as botting because you're indirectly using the bot to level..

What you said imho is fine... You're grinding in the party doing your part. You cannot be held responsible in that situation for the actions of others..

BotPlvl on the other hand is just stupid. It shows you want to bot but are either too afraid, don't know how or just plain don't have the means to (income).

Botplvl'ing is just plain botting... Making lame exucse "Oh, i was stealing his exp! Not for my own benefit but to disadvantage him!" is just stupid =.=''. That is all it is, a lame excuse and nothing more.

You gain exp from being afk and also via a bot. There is HARDLY a difference between BotPlvl and actually botting.

its a fact.
just people who are too lazy/poor to bot themselves would do that.

anyway since you are doing your job why not, compare the same situation as in 4distr. party you get also that extra % in exp by joining that party no matter if people bot or not
you are still doing your job so what is wrong with it?

there is a difference between being poor and not wanting to waste your money on a bot.

Rofl, definatly NOT legit. Funny how half the people in this thread were banned for being botters. So no it is not legit. Being legit means grinding your main in a share party that every1 actively participates in. If you party with a bot, you might just as well bot yourself...
