AFK in Zos Shivros - Guild Wars Forums

I asked a similar question about Glint's Challenge, but I figure I should ask again since it's a different location: Does being afk in Zos Shivros constitute a breach of the eula?

This is a little different than Glint's since the siege turtles are supposed to attack at the end, but don't always do so. The bug is well known and reported in GW Wiki. My party is strong enough to just sit through the waves, but I don't want to do anything that has a chance of getting me banned and this sounds like a bit more of an exploit. (Though I guess if I sat through the battle until the siege turtles, it would be okay as long as I left and came back so I didn't collect faction off of the bug?) I really don't know.

No. Someone from ANet has previously stated that it's not against the rules to collect faction while afk in a challenge mission, but they ended up correcting the behavior that allowed it. I can't be bothered to dig up who, what, when and where from ANet who said it, but the archived afk farm at Zos Shivros is in the following link.

No one was banned to my knowledge for (not)playing in that manner.
