Is camping an issue in FF XI?

[sabreblade]

I've read some posts about friction between players that was partially related to camping spawn sites where items required for particular quests and missions are dropped.

My questions are...

Is camping rampant throughout many stages of character development?

Is it akin to what EQ has been in the past?

Yea people do camp nms and hnms. Mostly because of what they drop. It's not something you need to worry about until you get to higher levels.

What about AFK? Is there a limit for inactive characters? i.e. I go to eat, will brb?

The program automatically kicks you off after going idle for 30 minutes I think. You can set that time to unlimited if you want by going into config.
