I can't see any advantage it would have over the BB for when you're truly AFK. On the contrary, the BB has the big advantage that no one can hurt you and no one can bug you. If you're AFK but not in the BB, setting aside the crystals issue, you're vulnerable to someone getting to you and screwing with you. Maybe that doesn't happen much or at all in Akanbar, but the BB is 100% protection against it, so why would you give that up? Also, no one can send you tells you're jnot there to answer, when you're in the BB.
The only purpose a CRYSTALS OFF command would serve, then, is to allow you to be around for the sake of meeting up with people, or being available in case people might want to meet up with you, or in case of people having questions or needing help you can offer; but without having any of the taint of "you're just scamming for crystals" hanging over your head. I can't see any other reason anyone would use it.
What good would that be? Well, probably none, unless someone like me could use it as a lever to try to get our cities to strike down or amend the "productivity" rules that are currently keeping me out of Akanbar for all but a few minutes a day, and will be for the foreseeable future. Hopefully, though, it would also lead to a longer-term attitude change about policing crystal-scamming idling that would make Akanbar more welcoming and more active, as people could feel comfortable being around, which would lead to people being around long enough to run into one another, and thus more interaction.
Or maybe I'm dreaming. Most people seem to think so.
