They should have told us whether their problem with NMZ and splashing is the 6-hour afkability. If so, they could make you logout despite being in combat but people would still afk, checking back every 5 minutes. If 6-hour afkability is the sole problem, it's good that they mentioned it, but it's far too late to do anything about it without drawing fire from each party trying to justify their opinions. The community is divided but it will be further divided if anything is changed. If the issue is left alone, in the long term, splashing will likely come to be accepted since it was part of the original game. NMZ will continue to be challenged since it was not, but people often come to accept things that are similar in nature so as long as splashing exists, it too would eventually be accepted.
If the problem is general afk xp, this doesn't even deserve a mention. There should be no issue. There's no problem for bandits, which have existed for ages. There's no problem with going to anywhere with aggressive monsters with guthans, just that bandits and NMZ are preferable since monsters don't lose aggression.
