I don't recommend reading the following post. It's like a boring shifter's blog. However, if you're currently idling in rock form, and have nothing better to do, read on!
For one, I am one of those people who works a full-time job, and ever so often, does some of his idling while at work.
I actually have to be kind of secretive though. I work at a call center, and about 20% of the time is spent doing data entry off the phones. I was on some pilot team where my stats didn't matter off the phones, so every 10 minutes I'd whip out a few orders (work) get the queue caught up (this was every morning), and then go kill an NPC or few.
When it came time to go back on the phones when the higher-ups look at your screens when your on calls, and for a minute or so after every call, it came time for the secret AA-idling!
I'd crunch my little Telnet window into the smallest possible rectangle, and put it off deep in the corner on my screen. All I have to do is send the thing blind commands ever so often (like 'l' or 'enter') and voila! I'm getting time in the forms i don't care about, but should raise anyway, like opossum, frog, and rock, or finishing up my nelitos etc.
I wish idling wasn't such a big part of Shapeshifting, but it's not so bad when you're at work.
My shifter is 100% unaffiliated. I have no guild, no gaming slate, or oak carving or Geographical-pididdies. I don't spend idle hours chatting to people on AA. It's just not my cup of tea. Well actually if I didn't wanna be an orc so bad, I would've joined Eldar with some other race of shifter. I love their tea, and I like the people there. I always join that guild when I can.
Oh another way I'd idle in forms is CX. Yeah, even at level 20 I CX on occasion. I'm just a noob like that.
Once I got drakon 3, the fun started. I started tanking a lot. I'm so rusty at this game, I'd have the bashers lead early on, but now I have routine down, and can lead pretty well. Currently drakon 4, but I should've been drak-5 by now, I just get myself killed too much. I was pretty much on my way to go train to drakon 5, i had it in the bag! But *poof* i died to Zeb! ZEB!!?!?? I hate Zeb! He's this overpowered gobliostatic asshole. Sometimes he's alright, but other times it's like this verbatim in-game log here:
You take a deep breathe.
You burn Zeb's ass, because you're an ember drakon and whatnot! Singeing him lightly.

This is a happy goblin. He has brown skin, with green spots. He has a silly grin, and constantly winks at you. He seems weak, but something about him screams 'I AM GAY HAHA /\/3\/\/8 lolz!' and you feel uneasy. Perhaps he's just uber-gay sometimes, and cures cancer on the weekdays.

If it weren't for that one time, I would be drakon five. I don't really care about Drakon anymore, I wanna learn Xaerre and get some weapon skills. Without thinking though, and early on, I learned flower before cat, so I'm kind of stuck with treant after Drakon One day I'll be just like MmsSpamo with my Xaerre!
