The General thing is, why you want to stay afk while your pc is Running? i mean electricity is more and more expensiv! But ok stay afk i dont care
Easy explanation. While working from home office, you can level weapons in background.
Or while doing other stuff like playing other games for example.
I also wonder why the afk mode leveling got reduced, instead of just adding xp to skill usage. I cannot imagine that there would be a problem if afk mode leveling xp would be the same like earlier.
Back in the days when I started the game, I refuse to run instances if I would miss a lot.
Imagine as a tank. Missing 1 skill could lead to people dying or even a group wipe.
Performing trash aggro with lot of misses as a tank is the hell (at least from my point of view)
