No real point to make here, other than to relate what just happened to me. Y'all already know the lesson I learned, so I'll just say continued Good Luck.
Was running warp version of Taskmaster AFK in Dreadlands. Came back to the keyboard to find the macro had noted the presence of a GM in the zone and was in limbo mode. A Guide was hanging around SAYing stuff in my vicinity (no TELLs). Was muttering about the Outpost and Overthere. I decided to endmac and run back to POK. He followed (like auto-follow, real close). SAID hey you, stop. I looked around and ran back to him, who me? He repeated what appeared to be a canned spiel. So I decided to play dumb (he was lvl 35) and said I'd lead him to Overthere, via POK. Started running to FV, him on my heels...my PC crashed...re-booted, re-logged, there he was at my side. He said there you are!, and I gave my re-boot sob story and said let's go. He followed me to the POK stone in FV, zoned to POK with me, followed to the OT stone, zoned to OT....asked me to follow to the bank. I said I was KOS in there, so he ran in and brought back a gift for me. I refused the trade, then accepted, then announced dinner plans and logged.
1. DL tasks are not a good idea right now, what with it being a hot zone (aye, you all knew that already...I'm just stupid)
2. Don't know if I'll make the sh*t list or not since the macro stopped me dead in my tracks (but he could have observed me before that...time will tell...and THANKS to the macro-maker for at least arranging the pretense of non-macroing)
3. Interesting how it played out. It will also be interesting to see if I'm shadowed when I log in with a different toon on the same account.
