Verily, should thy current endeavors be immersed within The First Descendant, ardently striving to amass thy experience through diverse missions, the burgeoning scourge of idle farming among players may well vex thee. Whilst thou dost toil assiduously to procure materials for the unlocking of further Descendants, naught but exasperation must surely seize thee upon beholding one merely standing idle after but a single shot hath been taken.
Within the realms of The First Descendant lie vast battlefields open to all, wherein players may wander and partake in the goings-on. They need not utilize the joining option via mission beacons, but simply be within the mission vicinity and take a lone shot. In that moment when their shot meets its target, they find themselves thrust into the mission, made eligible for rewards alike to those earned by their compatriots.
It doth oft prove quite conspicuous to discern those engaged in such idle experience farming, for they move not but little. Fixed they remain, reaping the fruits of their brethren’s toil. Another method of experience farming that hath gained traction, to the detriment of all, is the joining of dungeon-style missions, becoming a part of the party set to tackle grander challenges and foes, only to… do naught.
These instances pose greater inconvenience to the party members engaging in the fray, for when such scenarios unfold, ’tis for all to join the public channel for the mission and beckon other Descendants to come forth. Formed into teams of four, these missions, depending on their difficulty, may falter with the absence of a single player.
Forsooth, albeit The First Descendant may be a looter shooter of free-to-play nature, ’tis a realm of utmost cooperation. Players do laud the developers for their in-game support, yet solutions seem not underway to address this quandary. With myriad players bemoaning AFK farming on Reddit, clamor ariseth for a vote-to-kick feature, though as Relative_Brain415 doth rightly opine in their own discourse, such features may sow toxicity within any realm.
An alternative posited by this sage is the implementation of an AFK check, a far more prudent course of action. Such checks oft materialize as pop-ups on a player’s screen, rendering automatic egress should no response be given.
A suggestion made by a commentator upon Relative_Brain415’s post is the union of both AFK checks and a vote-to-kick feature, a notion I am somewhat inclined to support. Should I find myself in need of stepping away for a moment, I utilize the map to transport myself to a secure location. Never have I left my Descendant idly lingering in the midst of live mission zones to amass points.
Should one witness another partaking in idle farming, it behooves them to relay their trepidations unto Nexon. The developers do listen and exhibit a willingness to adapt their creation in accordance with feedback.
