One of them being named Arriviste is just a little too on the nose.

 

Plus they have the "Helper" tag. Helping themselves to your xp!

The AFK MMs are annoying.  There's not much anyone can do outside of reporting them and hoping a GM will take action.  As for me, if I'm leading a team or league during ToT and I see someone is AFK, I boot them and fill with someone who isn't AFK.  If there's too many MMs AFKing at the motel in PI, I move to a different location.  Let them AFK with nothing for their pets to shoot at.

As much as I dont want to begrudge anyone of how they choose to play whatever game this specific behavior, afk MM leachers, ruin the experience of everyone but themselves in a PUBLIC zone. Those types of players/people/humans I try to avoid in game and out, I'd just rather not spend my time with people who are so selfish they have no concern for the other people around them. 

 

The one thing I can choose to do as a player is utilize the rating system, which while not visible to others clearly marks someone's global account name so I know when I see them on other characters they are someone who I don't really want to group with. 

 

Over the years I have come to like ToT less and less. I was stoked for it this year then quickly remembered the things about I dont about it. The XP is not the greatest, with the exception of a well oiled machine with multiple Incans and the majority of the league actually playing...kind of the perfect storm but rarely happens. If I really want to level a character to 50 I just spin up my alt fire farm account and presto I have another 50 within a couple good hours. ToT for me now is get the badges and get out. I'll stick around on a new 50 for a while and lead groups when needed to "give back", but that being what I primarily spend my time doing in October when logged in not a thing anymore.
