Non-invasive solution for AFK macro users and exploiters

[Heracine]

This is something I posted in another thread and I thought it would better serve in its own topic.
This is to address the prevalence of players using external programs, macros, or ‘place an object on the keyboard’ method of remaining in game for extraneous periods of time without actually being around to play.

My suggestion is this:

• A non-invasive “Still playing?” dialogue box that can’t be macro’d or botted though to ensure active play would go a long way.

• Something that would only be triggered within the parameters of a player either undertaking the same single action (running against a wall) or sequence of actions within a lengthy set period of time, because there will always be an identifiable pattern.

• Active players wouldn’t even encounter the box once in their entire game life. Only those remaining in game using either macros, or “object on keyboard”, etc would.

EDIT: Now featuring dot-points.

So you want to pester people with annoying popups? No thanks.

May want to give the entire post a read, specifically the third point. No need to jump the gun.

I did. Still annoying popups nonetheless.
