    I signed up for this forum specifically to post this. I am sick of seeing 10+ players stacked in a corner, while everyone else has to defend them. They get free loot as a result of my effort while they sit on their asses and browse the web. WOO! OMG FREE GRASS LOL AND IRON ND UTHER STFF.
    No...
    My proposed change is that you are removed from the game if you must damage a mob every 30 seconds, or else be removed from the game with NO loot. Even for medics I wouldn't call it unreasonable to hit something every 30 secs. Campers will have to come back to mc at least every 30 seconds which I hope is enough of an incentive to actually play the game.

    TL;DR: Make players have to hit something every 30 seconds or be removed from the game with no loot

    No support. Some people camp because they feel safer IN A GROUP. Also when they're being guarded by others they feel safer and they also wait for the battle to get intense. PLUS some people rush for the mobs and others get there before them

    I'm not talking about people who sit back. Have you ever played mobarena. I'm trying to find a way around the 10 people that always go afk in the corner

    Sometimes when they go AFK it's for a reason. I once had to "camp" because my sister's friend threw her shoe at me. Can you blame me and other peopl for AFKing WITH a reason?

    You went afk because someone threw a shoe at you. Are you telling me that you still deserve the loot from the match even though you did nothing to help?
    Are you telling me that 10 people a round from the start to the end have a reason to sit in a corner and go AFK?

    And about that post on my wall. Attitude eh?
    And when have I insulted you?
    When have I said something nonconstructive?

    I went back and helped. Sometimes yes, they have reasons. I see your frustration about this. The post I made on your profile we can discuss in a convo.

    Not having this rule is similar to anticheat on an fps. Yeah, we shouldn't have it beacuse people will be falsely banned. Sure, but with it, it prevents cheaters.
    Sure this removes people who are legitimately playing the game. But it stops the 10+ AFKers every round

    You'd be surprised. With over 100 people in the arena at a time, you're likely going to have people get in between you and a mob.

    TL;DR You want us to get kicked because other people.

    No support. You usually have to wait until about round 12-13 to even get a kill. Some people have things to do but want loots. They can go AFK for just one round. Besides most of the time people need to regen and it takes more than 30 secs. They'll get kicked out for no reason. Sorry, but this isn't a smart idea at all. :L *facepalm*

    I am a donor meaning I can access the god class. I know that these people want loot, so I am happy to help them. When I was a non-donor id love god classers wrecking mobs and getting me free stuff, so i'm giving it back.

    And often they need to regen or are saving themselves for a later round, which is where the real valuables come in.

    Even I abort to the corner if im a bit low on health, even though I STILL get a god apple.
    The camping corner is good, so im sorry but:

    bip5 I think you need to calm down, it isn't like the loot that they are getting is harmful to the economy or anything. People that sit in the corner are actually being quite smart and it's a good strategy for reaching high rounds. Also, if you can't beat them, join them. Simple.

    I don't mind if people AFK in the arena, most of the time the Gods and archers kill everything while some people sit in a group and throw potions etc. I'll use an MMORPG as example, I main the healer role 70% of the dungeons I do nothing and just chill back while the DPS and tanks deal with it, this doesn't make me a leecher in the dungeon. And think if people are actually AFK they will die soon enough, if they want to AFK let them, but more people will help then AFK.

    I agreed with your post but only to a certain extent.
    Yes I don't particularly like those that camp in the corner. But sometimes I go in there if I'm low on health or need to eat something IRL :)
    But I don't think people should be kicked for being AFK or even not being able to attack a mob. I agree with your post about 30%

    Eh I can see your reasoning, but like some of the others above me, I do notice a lot of flaws. Yes, it is annoying. But if I have to go to the restroom really bad and then I get kicked, is that fair? What if I lag and I get kicked? What if this? What if that? I like going to the corner to splash myself with potions and wait to regenerate health, or something like that? Maybe there should be something if you're not moving, not if you're not attacking a mob. You could still be moving around, but not attacking? I don't really know.

    I do not believe this is a part of the current Mob arena plug-in so, it would take a developer to implement this. Also, the eventually die from a creeper in like round 20 or so. I dont see why this needs to be implemented as you have the choice to guard them or not. Sorry, but no support.

    No support.

    If you are in the mob arena and you need to regenerate some health, you go to the side and wait for your health to go up. Even though this would kick people who just want items, it would kick people who in reality just can't go and kill a spider.

    Another thing, what if your hunger runs out and you can't run to a mob to kill it? Someone else would get there first and bam. You're kicked.

    The other reasons are listed above.

    Meh, AFK people don't last forever. All it takes is a creeper to creep on them and they're gone. Gods do the heavy work. Basically they are the tanks of the match. I can choose god myself and I do go tank once in a while for the non-donors. That way they can last more rounds.

    Some support. However, making a player hit something every 30 seconds would not work. Perhaps if they do not move for a certain amount of time? Also, no support for the player getting kicked for this. Perhaps just sending them back to their island?
