    Have your character walk backwards and forwards while you're afk - ah well, beats the [lodge something on the keyboard] auto jumping in a corner I've seen in other games.

    But really? This is a feature? Maybe I'm too old school now to see characters endlessly looping and consider this as adding to the game environment.

    I felt the same about any AFK features until I played the game. I think fundamentally Eastern games introduce some systems which are grindy and then functionality that encourages you to be on line longer. Many monitize based on time logged in.

    This comes into play when leveling mounts significantly. For your personal mount, leveling can be slow through play. This is fine. But for those breeding horses and having to level 7 or 8 at a time for mating purposes, it becomes a real barrier.

    I actually used the feature last night for the first time as I'm breeding horses and it alleviates the grinding significantly. I would prefer to see easier mount leveling without this feature for the Western audience but my understanding is that it's easier to institute this feature than re-writing code for the system as a whole and then having to customize every update more because of code changes.

    Not perfect in my eyes, but functional and everything else the game offers more than makes up for these inconveniences.

    Auto path looping. Wow. Don t make it such a grind and avoid this afk anything . One of the reasons I uninstalled BDO, I found almost everything in the game uninteresting.

    gg!

    Good title to this video.

    My wife and I would be all over a legacy server, as well as many, and I mean MANY people we know from back in the day.

    Hopefully this brings it to the forefront with Blizz.

    The disgusting thing about this whole situation, is how entitled people feel to use and potentially profit off of Blizzard's IP. I mean, they're acting like Blizzard should feel obligated to let them run "Vanilla" game servers. As if them not doing so is in some way harmful to the industry.

    They should hire some developers and develop their won similar game and run it for free if they feel that way.

    People playing on non-Blizzard servers for free are not "customers." They're freeloaders and pirates.

    Actually they are potential customers Blizzard is actively choosing to turn away.

    Whether they are potential customers remains to be seen but it is certain that they are thieves.

    Used to be a huge fanboy for blizzard in the distant past, now they just make people sad. Suing fans of your game because you fail to provide the product? Were they making money off it? I seriously don't know, I am asking. I just stay away from all Blizzard games now because it seems they are more about getting the most amount of money possible.
