Avoiding getting afk flag on slaves? (8.1 autokick from warfronts)

[MiRai]

To my question:

In isboxer there is the character set option "make game believe its foreground window.....". I left this unchecked since forever. Never used it. Do you guys have the option activated?

Or is that option a gimmik needed for another mmo?

The option isn't enabled on wizard-created Character Sets for WoW because it isn't required. The setting itself makes any game window that is not in focus think it's in the foreground so that keystrokes can be sent to it, because some games don't accept keystrokes when they're in the background—WoW is not one of those games.

Since others who do use the default setup (i.e. "Make foreground..." isn't enabled) aren't experiencing the issue you describe, it's unlikely going to change anything. As others have stated, you are the one and only person I've heard report this issue at this time.

No.

Did a WF on lunch there, maybe it's because I run trinity and basically cap nodes but I don't know how you could ever get flagged afk. there is always some sort of movement or jump or something required.

I'll test out just using GSE tonight to see if they go afk only mashing my dps button.

I was actually astonished by the question as I had no idea it was an issue. Seems it might be a GSE issue only? I do not use it and the only time I have ever had a follower go afk is sitting at flight paths.

I have SPACE as a key that's always broadcast (can be funny when on and typing) - I find as I naturally seem to jump around it makes sure none of my toons go AFK.

I used to do this but it looked really stupid when I was messaging people! Alt + Spacebar for group jump is the way to go.
