Voting no..

Even if it doesn't affect the server performance anymore, LDoNs aren't really that hard, and there are already two alternatives to getting points. Considering the items are pretty nice and there are three ways to earn them I don't see the need, plus it just adds 50 people and their alts AFK'ing in bazaar.

I know it would take a week of AFK 24 hours a day to be able to get something, but.. rather see LDoN points per mission bumped up by 5 or 10.

I vote NO.
when it was live last time nothing worse then seeing 100 toons crammed in the vale to leech pts. Now it be that way for the bazzar. Also if a 100 toons afk in a zone is not going to lag the server anymore why does the 25 aggro limit still need to be in effect.

Although I'll be happy to get the 5pts per hour while in Bazaar (it'll encourage me to leave up my toon to sell things as well) - I seriously agree that LDoNs need to be more than 25pts - maybe according to the mission done or just in general a 10-20 point hike per mission. While I can obliterate a normal slaughter LDoN in about 15 minutes - it still takes quite a while to get 4000 points. I've tried farming world bosses and it's pretty much an exercise in utility - just easier to farm cash.

I agree with those that vote no. Even if server stability isn't an issue, zoning into the bazaar only to be stuck inside a gaggle of 20 AFK toons too lazy to move after zoning is :o

I understand the reason is likely to increase the amount of trade on the server, but that will only work if characters only accrue points while in /trader status. If this is the plan, then I wish I could retract my vote, but it appears that one only need to be afk in the bazaar to obtain points.

I wasn't playing on THF when this was last implemented and have no idea how it worked then.

tbh, i find ldons already completely trivial - its easier to farm cash to buy tokens than it is to sit down and grind out a few thousand points with the current system. personally once i could buy/win tokens, i spent a fortune to never do ldons again. that said i feel that since its already trivial theres no need to add yet another free/easy way to get them.

Dont like the afk rewarding, nothing was more frustrating then having endless gaggles of people afk at the zone in point. As well as logging in, doing /who all guild and thinking there would be people to do stuff with but everyone was just afking.

alot of good points here, but all in all I hafta say No to the free ldon points...as bront said LDONS are already trivial..a smart kael geared toon can do them solo without boxing if they really wanted to.

Personally..id like to see more risk vs reward in LDONs..make them more enjoyable by making them abit tougher or even leaving it alone and just have generl strategys vs the mobs and bosses. As it is normal LDOns are basically plow through the mobs as fast as you can so you can start the next one. Doing this would make adding an extra 15-20 points per mission viable.

Or even make it simpler..the faster you complete the LDOn the more points you acrue up to a certain cap decided by the dev team.

Just my 2cp.

I also vote no. Sitting afk somewhere should not reward anything, as well as other valid points others have listed. :|

This is pretty much pure truth. But also, as others have said, LDON points are plenty easy to get, even more so since the introduction of tokens from the casino and world bosses. No need to boost lag levels by encouraging people to log in and go AFK. Not to mention the extreme pain in the ass of zoning in and finding 15+ people who were too damn lazy to move from the zone in point before AFKing, which can (and has for me) cause you to get stuck.

But my main points against the AFK script are: Increased Lag for no good reason (be different if that many people were on actually playing, at least then you're progressing an d playing the game as you should be) and why reward people for doing nothing
(but boosting latency levels!)?

I vote, yes. I would like to see an higher server population when I log in, even if its just afk people. And hey, it may attract more players.
