Dude, ranks mean jack sh`it now especially since quest lines literally feed you to level 100. This game was a tiny bit competitve when 200 meant something, but now? Pfft, rank has no merit, fortunately they made a separate ranking system to honor the original 200's, but come on now.

If it's not a competitive game, why do you care if people are actually at their computers holding down the attack button? It's not like this is such a widespread issue that it's preventing any players that choose not to play the game that way from playing the game.

The only people I can see that have any kind of legitimate complaint about people afk'ing to level are people who are actively trying to get leaderboard ranks that can't attack while afk. If you don't think that's a legitimate number of people, I don't think this is a legitimate problem.
