Ok, i am on my way up to Faaroths and come across this guy getting attacked by a swarm form a Vor'taz, eh, here's the log

[Gyldemar Forest, Crumbling Road]
Mosses and wildflowers grow between the massive paving stones, softening the rough edges of the broken rock. The trees press close to both sides of the avenue, occluding the moonlight almost totally and leaving only the path itself visible in the dim light. A southerly wind carries the thick scent of animal musk, but even at night the forest is silent and belies the presence of any sentient thing within it. You also see an insect swarm and a horned vor'taz.
Also here: Lord Eldas who is lying down
Obvious paths: north, south

[Gyldemar Forest, Crumbling Road]
Faint illumination slanting through the branches above reveals a cairn beside the road, though whether the rounded stones are a memorial to someone long vanished or merely the remains of a toppled structure is impossible to tell. One of the massive oaks along the causeway has fallen, the vacancy it left now a clearing strewn with pale flowers that are silver in the moonlight.
Obvious paths: south, northwest

lolz so mean. I'm guilty for AFK scripting as well. Well, I'm looking at the screen, but not pushing any buttons. Rat hunting kinda gets boring after you've done it for a while. Eldas is the best though! He helped me out when I was lost in EN at like 5AMish! He's great.

I unstun alot and spell up people who are getting hurt at Wind wraiths in teras alot.. and none of them say thank you, and just keep hunting.. and going. and I KNOW they are not scripters since they continue on their conversation.

Most people who AFK script probably have the scripting knowledge to have many catches for standing or being injured. Just because you don't know anything about basic programming doesn't mean a scripter is an idiot Bob.

I really don't think Bob's saying he's an idiot because his script froze.

Soulpieced

He was saying he's either an idiot for A) AFK scripting, or B) Said character was an idiot whether or not he was scripting. I was leaning towards A, thus my response.

<< Kill him next time. >>

First of all, I appreciate the help but I didnt ask for it. I didn't steal anyone's critter or anything else so, I dont see why killing me would be reasonable here.
I dont ever AFK script, in fact I was sitting right in front of the computer, just not paying attention at the time.

I do know about basic programming.

I fucking hate Eldas, whether he scripts or not.

You're 100% wrong.

Isn't the hole problem with people who afk script is because they aren't paying attention? Sitting next to the computer and not paying attention will get you a lockout and or a warning.

Well technically you did. While you was lying down, the other person helped you and killed the critter which you then skinned and took off.

Bad boy ;)

Yeah the whole problem is that you're supposed to be paying attention. This script doesn't work unless I do pay attention. I dont have any catches to stand up, breeze those swarms, and a number of other things. I was just noting that I was at the computer, not asleep, at work, or somethin like that. That whole incident took place in about 1 minute.

Since when can't you sit in front of the computer on the phone? WTF are you talking about.

It doesn't matter how long you're AFK, what matters is whether or not you get caught.

Actually, I was attacking the creature and got swarmed in the process. So, technically he took my kill. :shrug:

Okay, my bad. You were physically in front of the computer but not paying any attention to it at all. I'm typically looking at my monitor when I'm sitting in front of my computer.

Dude, I was sitting at my desk and not paying attention how hard is that to understand.

I can do a lot in 1 minute if handed a gun and placed in a room full of people. But it's okay because I'd only be murdering people for a mere 60 seconds, and therefore it is not really breaking the law.

Did you really just compare murdering people to a text based game?
Whatever bob. Go save your allowance, buy a 12697438927 level character, and then continue to bitch at me for scripting.

Yeah, not everybody can brag about how low level they are and then go out and buy a character in order to bully people around.
