    Should I be given some type of award for being the first person ever to troll his own thread? I've lost this battle, but you haven't heard the last of me.

    I will regroup and return at a later date.

    I actually agree if you're going to ban afk fishing, mining, etc you need to ban all resource gathering including buy agents.

    In the past few months we (cA) saw countless people doing it, used tracking to find them and had runebooks to all the shops so we could murder them and sell the bods or give them to the resident cA bod-master applejack. I don't collect bods so I don't know the method or care, but it goes on.

    I don't think so. But maybe I'm wrong since I don't ever do this. But you could probably ask @Azoth or @Azerothian (forget which one, the PS guy) how he goes about it.

    I can confirm this. I ran into many AFK gumps when I was trying to sell hundreds of gnarled staves after GMing Carpentry.

    Eh well just the same. Can afk all the crafting parts and just run a sell macro and watch it for a few minutes.

    You got jokes. The next poll will be worded better and I'll have more ammo.

    Agreed. I tried this once. Reagent buying AFK, scroll-making AFK, scroll-selling at keyboard. At best (if no one else is doing it), I don't think the at-keyboard rate is better than simply killing elder gazers. Less risky of course though.

    If anyone else is doing it at the same time though, it's a disaster. And I found most of the time there was (many times not someone trying to earn money but just sell off scrolls used in macroing Inscription to 100).
