A Title that hinders you? I disagree

• Emblem: AFK now limits your speed and fly speed to 0 as a reminder to take the title off when you return from being away.

I don't believe this is something that is necessary. Just my opinion

If any change must be made, perhaps it would be less intrusive if movement of the toon could cause removal of the AFK emblem.

Also, for some of us who are so clueless we go AFK in dangerous places, when we get back and discover ourselves to be under attack, instead of running like hell in a panic, we first have to remove the AFK?

This was the initial idea, sadly it isn't possible.

Another way to signal that you're AFK to other players is using the /afk command, this will turn on the automated AFK message when someone sends a tell. You don't need to use to emblem to make sure people are aware you're AFK.

I don't know about you, but when I cluelessly go AFK somewhere dangerous (and often come back to a dead body... oops) I never remember to put the AFK title on in addition to forgetting to find a safe spot.

Tbh, ive seen the afk title on someone maybe once or twice? I personally never used it.

I never used it *because* I always forgot to take it off... :P

I don't think you'd have to worry about going "afk" with no movement in a bad area unless you intend to cause a hassle for yourself. Plus not many players out there in the field to come by and see the emblem on you, right? :P I believe it's a good idea, as when you return and can't move you'll be reminded that you have it on.

I personally have the floating name above my own head turned off, so I never see titles on myself. I recall once I ran 2 days with the afk title on, but didn't know it. I felt silly when I realized it.
