Been playing this game for 3 years and i havent seen any major problem arise from afkers on ships other than people being unhappy that they get loot for doing nothing.Semantics or not, sitting around clicking in a abassa swarm is infinitely harder than clicking one button and boarding a ship, occasionally they may try to hide, but not often.
Just because you do not think afking is a problem doesn't mean its a problem. Having more than three afkers is severely debilitating to a ship as you will have a open cannon when more than one person needs to repair. Not to mention that as someone who ends up repairing a lot on ships, its incredibly annoying to be the sole repairer on a ship that is consistently taking damage. It's not fun, and I heavily appreciate a helping hand while keeping the cannons maintained for full efficiency.
Again, allowing captains to kick is not a viable option for a problem so small. Im guessing you are a level 20-30 and i can see why you would find afkers annoying
