Even someone like me who's got thousands of hours poured in is basically unable to do anything besides shadow missions and the occasional HM dungeon for a challenge that isn't one shot city.-snipping for space saving-
Pardon my Wall of text, I have much to say
To be honest, I definitely blame Mabi for it's lack of content that the average Joe can handle and the absurd pay to win armor sets (and other massive BS crap that I could complain about for hours), I just get a little annoyed seeing people stand around trying to look pretty while I'm holding open a party asking for just 1 other person to drop me into rescue the scout and the only response I get back is some cutsey idle animation.
all call those
AFK show off statues xD
always allot of them everywhere xD
My guild always called them "Fashinogi's" because they care more about the outfits than the gameplay but I like AFK show-off statues a lot more. They're everywhere atm, but 2 days ago the servers were all full or busy and now there's only 3 that are like that, making it a lot easier to log on ever since they added the extra 3 channels. I think having 10 channels saved Nao's life.
In a little bit of a defense of idle players, sometimes I'm "just standing around" while I have a chat open with a guild member or friend elsewhere, or I see a party that needs help but I have to leave for work in a bit so I don't actually have the time to help even though I'm standing right there.
Wasn't there an event a few years back, where to help combat the rise of bots and fake accounts, they gave us all bombs to blow up AFK characters? But something not as drastic since these aren't bots. Then again, as long as there are events that reward you for "log on time" there are always going to be people just standing around and probably no penalty for AFKers. Most games kick you back to the log in screen if you're idle for too long to save space for the players actually playing on the servers/channels.
i dont hate AFK show off statues my self (more like im neutral with them just wonder what ppl have whene they can leave PC running 24/7) but i would made that idle kick mechanic for sure with like lets say 3 hour (could work well with most logged in event duration to) duration before kick to tittle screen sometimes you just idle since you eat or wait for someone but theres way to many ppl who seem to AFK for whole day because they go sleep or go to work and those really just take the space for nothing.
I really wonder how many AFK ppl are right now on CH1 on Nao im sure there are tons.
