This is just one of the two things I would ache to see ANet someday get to.

If you stand emoting, rping, discussing philosophy around a campfire, you will be afk flagged and booted. Really really wish that could be fixed.

Also chairs. OMG chairs.

Why can I not sit in them? I swear the Risen didn't cut THAT deep!

Otherwise, I love this game with a burning love fueled by nonstop great rp and stories and people IC and a world that lets you be IC.

You'll be booted from the server? Doesn't chat and emoting usually forestall AFK flags? And can't you manually remove the AFK flag before it boots you?

Brynjar - unless it was changed recently, chat and emoting do not prevent you from getting kicked. This makes me very sad.

And yes, chairs. I would sell my firstborn for the ability to sit in a chair.

Also, when you block someone, you can still hear them talk with /me which really REALLY sucks. A troll was using it to spam and he wasn't muted at all.

You should post this on the official forums.  That seems like a bug that needs to be fixed.

Agreed!    It's not a major game mechanic but it would be really nice to have.   I don't even RP that much.

It is odd. You can be sitting still chatting and emoting, after a while yellow text appears saying if you do not show some activity soon you'll be kicked.

But if you just stand still, doing absolutely nothing at all, sometimes you can stay logged in for hours.

I'm sure it was done to stop people from spamming while AFK, but the system could use some tweaking. Hopefully we'll get a proper /afk flag someday.
