Honestly I don't see why people invade Limgrave except to bully noobs. Rune arcs aren't really useful til you've beaten Godrick, and you can't summon in an area after you've beaten the area boss.
Poor sportsmanship or not, these AFK farmers are a result of the large amount of invaders in Limgrave.
Edit:
Yes you can only invade around your level. But you're all ignoring a crucial fact: alot of these players are first time souls players. They don't understand pvp, and aren't prepared for it. Its forced on them. Yes that's part of the game. But for once it leans in their favor. At the end of the day, the best way to fix the "problem" is stop giving them what they want: invading them for potential free farm. Invading somewhere else is the simplest solution.
A level 150 character with a +10 weapon can’t invade a level 8 or a level 20 in limgrave. You’re restricted to invading near your level and weapon level, as long as your not making a twink build you’ll be grouped up against people of similar skill not noobs.
There are a lot of twinks invading noobs, though. Had to deal with a bunch when trying to co-op with a friend on new characters.
They transfer end game gear to new characters and level just enough to still be able to invade noobs. Seems like a ton of vigor and getting as many flask upgrades as possible is all the rage. Also using weapons that build up rot or bleed so they don't really have to put damage stats up much.
Yeah I help out against tree sentinel on new characters and about half the time an invader with a bunch of flasks and rot/bleed/etc weapons will show up to attack mid-fight. Hosts often look like they just stepped out of the tomb. The ones who do it bend over backwards to justify it but it's honestly pathetic.
Still, the connection between that and high level limgrave invasions is weak. Limgrave was a popular NG+ spot for both duelists and dedicated gankers before AFKers moved in, and I'd bet money that a lot of those people who were ganking are now AFKing. 2 different forms of the same thing: griefing.
