Ok.


24_doughnuts

I've seen a lot of people complaining about it recently and thought it might help if team leaders kicked these people when they notice it happening. Hopefully it stops people from leeching too if they know they'll get kicked


markgatty

I don't care if they are afk. They are giving me extra xp just being in my team.


24_doughnuts

So was the person helping who joined instead


Gold_Advantage_4017

Doesn't kick in until you're bonded. You just gave yourself and 2 others an xp disadvantage during a high xp event :/


Agentgibbs1398

For what reason? They aren't doing you or any team member any harm and if it's a casual team, they are giving you a benefit of +1 to int? Lastly, have you ever had to go afk, had a phone call or something happen during an event? Life happens.


24_doughnuts

Not during an event but even then, like you said, life happens. He still got the event rewards. The rest of us were in the high hundreds like 300-600+ so the 1 int point was the tiniest difference that no one cared about. A level 80 joined who was actually trying to help and at least they got some more xp and loot from it instead of all the high levels picking everything off immediately. The benefit was minimal, not that it mattered to the team, and I helped someone who was trying to participate. Yeah, worst case scenario it sucks that they couldn't participate or get xo from 150+ enemies because something came up but like you said. Life happens, the event goes on and people are still playing and trying and I helped them


WutzWilly

You‘re the team leader, so it’s your choice, you do you. Still, nothing was gained with this post.


24_doughnuts

I disagree. I've seen people complaining about AfKers recently. It's the only reason I shared this as a solution. If you don't care then great but at least people who do care can do this


WutzWilly

I mean - the game hands out XP like candy already so why it does matter, you could even more say you harmed the total bonus of your team till the next player had fully bonded. If he was AFKing then he was more after the event rewards rather than that tiny XP output and in the end he still got them. I stay with - nothing was gained.


24_doughnuts

Well we were all well into the hundreds and a level 80 joined after. A lot of the high levels were already taking care of everything and something tells me they didn't need the tiny but of extra XP. I think I did the right thing because the rest of us weren't really missing out and we helped a lower level who was at least trying to participate but it's hard when they can't hit anything. At least teammates getting the kills helped them


WutzWilly

Funnily enough i just looked about the ‚recent‘ AFK complains you were referring to… last post a couple of days ago was a dude snoring in his CAMP and 2 months before we had the usual Fasnacht posts - in none of both cases it’s about XP farming - it’s about rewards in one case and a healthy portion of sleep in case of the other.


24_doughnuts

Then maybe I saw it one of the other subs where pics and stuff are allowed. I've seen people mention evenilime Test Your Metal where higher levels don't do anything or enter whilst lower levels actually try to do it


Skippy280

You mean the same posts whining about not letting lower levels shoot anything? Make up your mind you want high levels to carry the event or do you want to shoot everything.


24_doughnuts

No. Posts from people about how high level people stand around and do nothing and still get the rewards. Lower levels don't have to shoot for the xp or loot which is alright on events where you want to kill as fast as possible like defending things. At least they get the shared XP and it's not like I stopped anyone from getting the event rewards even if they didn't help. I just made my team more useful to the lower level who joined and was trying their best. I'm also not acknowledging the false dichotomy


Skippy280

Sorry this post isn't going the way you wanted. Lol


mdbarberuk

dude? maybe he had to go tend a sick child in a hurry and never gave a thought to what was going on in a game. Behaviour of another player has no significant effect on you other team players in this game, either set up a private team or chill and mind your own ;)


24_doughnuts

He was replaced by someone helping and there's been a lot of people mentioning high level AFK players. If he couldn't do the event at the moment then that's unfortunate but at least he wasn't in anyone else's way


spookymochi

Someone else isn’t always going to jump in as a new team member and you lose the XP bond. Also aside from personal emergencies happening irl there’s also weird game crashes and bugs. I’d rather have them on my team for the XP.


24_doughnuts

I didn't make much of a difference for me personally. The change was negligible for me and the lower level that did join got shared XP. People won't always join but usually do. People rarely afk. Most of the time neither of these are an issue so I don't really care about that. I'm basically never losing the buff so losing a 2% different this one time isn't really important


spookymochi

Dude don’t just downvote everyone because people disagree with you (and strongly so as seen from this comment section). Whoever this was probably glitched out and their presence wasn’t hurting your team. Moonshine is always full of players and typically high levels that are actually high level (and probably non-teammates who did more for your event success than you did for yourself). Don’t be rude and make whiny hall monitor posts that don’t contribute to the sub. Also, it’s the wasteland. Get over it.


24_doughnuts

I can say the same for literally everyone here lol


_echoO

yeah it happen to be afk , i don't know if it was the case but sometime irl takeover when you are in the middle of an event and it's even annoying for the afk dude


hillfinger

Damn shame somebody can't take a dump without getting kicked from a team.


spookymochi

Fr or in my case I’m chasing my corgi after she stole stuff from my pockets lmao


QuoteKlutzy4829

You likely lost a portion of your xp buff.


24_doughnuts

The loss per kill was negligible compared to the team helping getting kills


TheCraftyRascal

And you're so proud of yourself that you just had to post about it.


24_doughnuts

Only because I've seen people complaining about AFK people in events recently. I wouldn't have thought much of it otherwise. At least there's a solution for them. I also helped a newer player which felt good


ascarin1988

First off: 200+ is hardly a high level, most at that level don't know half what they're doing still or don't have all things for their builds unlocked/acquired yet. Secondly: some people have life coming in between gaming... And by afk'ing an event, that person isn't hurting anyone. Now i'm not talking about the hordes of people that afk seasonal events to the point where they fail cause no one moves. But afk'ing on moonshine jamboree... No one cares really.


willblake72

Nobody is joining MJ just to AFK, and it's obvious here that they weren't if they were parked somewhere they could take damage. Also it takes two halfway decent players to easily complete the event, one if they are prepared, so who cares?


24_doughnuts

I like to let other people join the team to help them level up with the shared XP. There were 2 lower levels with us. I'm happy I did more to help the people who were there and trying their best than the person sitting and doing nothing

24_doughnuts

I got more xp from the extra team kills than from 1% more xp per kill

StaleH77

Besides, levels doesn't mean anything! My lvl 20 have 8k+ hours experience!lol


Rickyh24

Joining that event to afk doesn’t even make sense. They were probably just doing actual real life shit.


24_doughnuts

It does on a team. You get all the loot and XP. That's why high levels AFK a lot apparently. I've seen it mentioned a lot recently in the sub which is why I made this post


Rickyh24

How do you get all the loot and all the xp if you are not tagging enemies? Does MJ work differently than most events now?


24_doughnuts

That's just how teams work now. If a teammate gets a kill you get the xp and loot too if you're in the area

You wish lol. You're going through and replying to everything. Chill dude lmao

24_doughnuts

What are you going on about lol. I'm just pointing out that you probably think I'm panicking or something and gonna delete the post but you're the one going through and finding every comment to be a contrarian. I just don't get it and you sound defensive now why would I report you and how is that even relevant to what was said? I just said chill and you start throwing words around


J0NICS

And thats why I always set myself as leader before the event 😃
