The Issue on Leech

Ok. Then... if you're not interacting with the game, you are not playing. If you're not interacting with the world, then you are not existing. If you're not awake, then you're not alive?

I'm not trying to be blunt, but what then, do you call people who afk while in a shop? Would you say 90% of the people in the FM are not playing? Would you require them to be "in game" when they sell their items?

Again, why should you determine how they want to play/interact with the game?

playing is interacting with the game. that's a very good description. your examples are faulty. you could easily describe existing as interacting with the world, as at any moment you exist, you are interacting with the world. even being asleep is interacting; even if all you're doing is breathing in and out.

people who AFK in a shop are not playing the game, but they are not benefiting off of another player playing the game for them. they're utilizing a feature on the game on their own character.
