Leecher invites, will we get banned if we join? - Guild Wars Forums

SS Necro · Mar 23, 2009, 08:06 PM // 20:06

Pretty simple, I logged in for a second and saw a group forming. "Leecher group forming LF others..." I thought it might be a good way to grab Asuran rep while I work. Is this allowed by Anet/GW, or will I risk being banned?

fb2000 · Mar 23, 2009, 08:19 PM // 20:19

why will you get banned? you just follow some guy??? Or am I wrong oO

Rushin Roulette · Mar 23, 2009, 08:21 PM // 20:21

Nope. Anet wont ban you, but only if you dance turn 3 times clockwise and sing the South African National anthem in trade chat in reverse.

SS Necro · Mar 23, 2009, 08:32 PM // 20:32

As I understood it, and I could be wrong. I join the group, exit the camp with them and sit down, and this is ok? They get increased loot drops, and I get rep right?

Painbringer · Mar 23, 2009, 08:32 PM // 20:32

Stay away from the conga line

You will not be banned. However, leeching in PvP-type things is grounds for the Dishonorable Hex.

HawkofStorms · Mar 23, 2009, 08:42 PM // 20:42

However, you won't get rep the way you are thinking. You still have to talk to the NPC every time to pick up the bounty.

Nessar · Mar 23, 2009, 08:46 PM // 20:46

You'll be fine, just dont leech in pvp :P

So you cannot afk it. Ok thanks, that makes sense.

Silvia Shadowback · Mar 23, 2009, 09:01 PM // 21:01

Not sure about this, but you should still be getting 75 rep points a run when rekoff is killed. Not sure if you need bounty for this bonus though.

Undead King Knight · Mar 23, 2009, 09:02 PM // 21:02

Yea like HawkofStorms said unless you ran a bot (which will get you banned) you would have to click on the guy everytime they zoned.

You only get the boss reputation if you have the bounty.

sosycpsycho · Mar 23, 2009, 09:36 PM // 21:36

Yes icy is right, no bounty= waste of time
you get no drops,no exp,and weak rep points afk. If you get a farmer who wants you to zone them you will probably be kicked.

I have farmed Raptors before and you can make much more rep vanquishing with a H+H party. If you want to watch tv and not be bothered take [Ebon Escape] join a farmer as a rep sponge,
shadow step to the bounty guy and wait the 40 secs or so near the zone.

a/net has no problem with farmers and leaching in pve it is quite common so have fun.

@IcyFiftyFive - Not true, you get the rep points for killing him either way, the boss bounty just double(or triple) the number of points gained. Edit: Scratch that. I thought ,for whatever reason, that you wrote Boss Bounty.

To the OP, what I do to not get bored is take the bounty and then run to next Asuran guy to your left, after 25 kills I quickly take the points for an extra 30 points each run. If the runner is slow you can also run to the next shrine after the bridge and the hill for another 30 points. It make each run much more attractable while keeping the boredom away.
