AFK vs. Active
Quick find code: 259-260-234-66122419
Hello,
I'm just going to summarize my playstyle here. I as well did just recently re-subscribe to the game as you can see by my membership badge, so my hype for the game is at a pretty good high at this moment and I have a lot of goals I'm working towards and a lot that I'm looking forward to, but I'm going keep this short and simple.
I believe you must actively pay attention to how much you truly want to be 'AFKing' the game. For example if you have a goal that is long and takes a while to accomplish but it is AFKable to an extent then that is fine, do your AFKing -but keep in mind you should try to actively try to keep yourself engaged and immersed into the game as much as you possibly can - whether it be engaging with other people you come in contact with, FCs that your friends hang out in, CCs that you also have friends in or acquaintances that you either rival stat-wise or talk to on a daily bases... Or the Forums. I do count the Forums as part of the game since there's a bunch of activity and ideas getting across here all the time. It keeps me entertained at points so I count it as a branch off the game and if you're on here rather than being so `active' in the game - I'll let that slide and count it as being active.
Keeping it short here lol, the best way to put this I believe is the more you sort of distance yourself from the game while you're trying to play it the more your brain passively get detached from your goals & the reason you play the game diminishes (could be diff for everyone). So all in all, if you AFK it is fine but try to keep your attention where it should be by actually engaging whenever you have the chance. And don't forget if you actually play actively you should usually gain more exp than the person playing passively. So do it for the gains, remember that. ^.^
I'm going to end it there, that's my two cents. Nice post, this is something I do like to talk about.

@Mightiest
Thank you for your contribution
I completely agree, even with AFK goals, it is very important to intersperse non-afk activity in order to remain motivated. I recently made the portants for 80-90 smithing on my ironman and I've barely played since. It's such a long afk task and I really don't have the energy for such a playstyle right now. I think I need to alternate invents with other goals such as quests.
Nice to see you back in the game, what made you decide to come back?

If I need to go anywhere I log out or lobby.
If I play I'm 100% infront of my screen. Unless I'm on the forums looking at something.
I see no point in afk'ing as I feel I'm not playing the game as it was meant to be played.
If anyone feels the need to afk it's their/your choice.
so you actually believe jagex INTENDED you to sit and state at the screen while u fish (and obviously i dont mean swarm fishing here)
tbh, i afk afkable things because i feel that is the way the game was intended to be played.
if you wernt meant to afk it, it wouldnt be afkable.
even for combat, do u think they brought out agro pots and scrims so that you can use them with auto retaliate off and full manual?
if so you, well, the only polite way to put it is: your mad
when i want to read, ill do a full afk activity, like fishing/wc/mining (with spirits/juju pot), agro pot slayer tasks, gwd1 camping
when i want to watch netflix, ill do semi afk activities, like siphoning energy from wisps for charges, non agro potable slayer tasks, mining something i dont have stone spirits for
and when i feel like actually playing, ill do a full intensity activity, like soloing nex/rax/raids/bgh/achievements of some kind
as the game was designed to be played
