New Rules: Henchies & Macroing

Post by Valhalla Staff » Thu Jun 23, 2016 6:15 pm

Hello Valhalla,

Several players have voiced their complaints over "shard automation," or, the act of having activities on the shard performed for you via macroing programs or henchman location.

These practices are unfair to those who actively participate in these activities, instead of relegating it to secondary methods. Because of this, we are taking necessary action with some new shard rules.

1) Unattended macroing of resource-gathering (including afk dungeon hunting, lockpicking, etc.) is hereby considered against the rules. You may still do afk crafting, or afk craft skills including overnight farming or mining. A good rule of thumb is: If you can put it as your trade skill, or it's Alchemy, you're good to go.

2) Henchmen and pets set to guard enemy-laden areas are at risk, as they now can be attacked by players without consequence. Owned items must still be returned, and this doesn't grant free roam against all guarding followers: they MUST be in an area commonly known to be full of enemies. You can't simply kill a henchmen standing out in the open, or in front of someone's house and go without punishment.

Thank you,
-Valhalla Staff
