Afk on top of questgiver

You know the “interact” key was introduced to get around such issues.

You ought to make it a habit of using it instead of it being situational, makes playing the game a LOT easier… especially for Fishing, cast with 1 key, and hit interact when it bobs. :+1:

Blizz really need to just implement a dismount zone around all questgivers.
They’ve done it to holiday event NPCs, when people have complained in the past, so it’s an easy enough addition.
Some people are just lazy and have no respect for other players experiences.
It’s the same issue with hunters who have ginormous pets

That made me laugh, but seriously, it’s not a bad idea :blush:

They should copy the Tech FF14 introduced in Dawntrail, when you approach a quest NPC all players are phased out.

Yea for sure. They should also take away your mount and throw it across the field so you have to go get it. And when you do, then they will run up to you and mug you :gun: of your gold. And just when you thought it was over SIKE, they run back and steal your shoes as well.

And then you get banned for 3 weeks.

Yup. Sounds good.

Generally the Interact key will open the dialog with the NPCs.
You might need to do a /tar [NPC Name] first but usually not.

I actually find it easier to use the Interact key than the mouse cursor anyhow.

I do tend to then do a
/s Reported for disruptive behaviour.

Though I don’t bother with the reporting, I doubt it would lead to anything but it might put niggles in their minds.

Eh, I just find it inconsiderate. It’s no surprise the people finding it funny aren’t the sharpest pencils.

All questgivers? thats insane mounting up would became a pain as you would constantly get dismounted everywhere.

That is a good solution too

Easy solution to this if Devs ever get to see it is to phase everyone else out around said quest giver to it’s just you and the quest giver NPC. Would remove this problem entirely. Walk away from said NPC and you see the rest of the other players again.

I mean, the servers do have phasing so that or just force remove mounts whenever you get into range of said NPC. Either would work really. The game does have the necessary tools to do either really.

How so? I press Interact and it opens up the NPC window, what more do you need?

I will explain the difference between WoW’s and GW2’s interact key:

  • WoW is based on camera angle and range from the NPC
  • gw2 is based on circular range around the NPC and that is being improved by a visual button. So you just get near the NPC and you have two choices - to press a key bind or press with the mouse the button on the screen. GW2’s system is leagues better and it is like this since 2012

I get near the NPC and I push a keybind, sounds the same to me.

Well it is not the same. In WoW it is worse

what age am i, could you tell me please?

Its also telling how many times WoW copies GW2’s homework.
I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m glad when games copy the good bits of others. No need to re-invent the wheel when one rolls really well. :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

/tar name of NPC > interact keybind

rly shows your IQ if you are defeated by people AFKing on questgivers.

it takes seconds to mount. I dismount and remount every time I land at a questgiver, so it doesn’t interfer with others gameplay. It’s hardly an issue

I like there to be a timer and if you’re mounted on top f the questgiver for more than 3 minutes they just kill you or port you back to the main city

I think you may have misused the word snowflake as that means someone who is [a very sensitive person. Someone who is easily hurt or offended by the statements or actions of others].

So in this story, with you making the post, it’d be you who is the snowflake :slight_smile:

As for why, it is either intentionally to grief or unintentionally but being inconsiderate.
