Why do people afk?

Major_Rampage: First things first,  I lost 15 rep,  and also had 5 people plus that post.  That removed the positive rep my other posts from the last 3 days have tallied up.  But if you have seen my other posts about gift shops,  premium tanks,  and other topics,  I would rather have a few people drop neg rep on me and be informed about the situation.
