I think this is a bad idea, imagine when someone is on a secret place and you find him, and then you get out of the afk mode and get him, or imagine if you found a human, secret place.
I think it would be very annoying/hard to only have this enabled for maps that do not possess a secret. Regardless, it would be abusable on none secret maps, as you could very quickly look for the where the last alive are. Toby has mentioned in Discord recently that AFK mode would be the closest NB would ever go towards a Spectator mode. I agree with him. The possibility for it's abuse outweighs any benefit this feature could potentially have.
As said above, this would be a very bad idea for the reasons mentioned. The "AFK" mode which means away from the keyboard means that the player is not supposed to move because he is not there.
What would be more logical would be to add a spectator mode, but I don't see the point in that because the goal is to play and not to watch, especially since there is nothing really interesting. Also what OtiMalia mentioned, this could cause the secrets to be useless as it could be discovered by all when a player enters it.

Thank you for the suggestion! However, we prefer not to give players the ability to fly in ZS. It has a number of negative consequences, for example spectators can more easily search for secrets, or to notify individuals where players are on the map. For these reasons, we will decline this suggestion.
