Less tactics, more zugzug!
Wait, why?
At the point you know itās 4-1 and they have a good lead, why?
Now, I normally hate this idea, BUT at that pointā¦ ājust let them winā becomes a wise choice.
Your team will start looking at you defending that last one as merely wasting their time because they want it over with, to queue next. Top it off with yeah, a pve spec in a bg? Thereās your reports.
This is honestly the safest way, sadly.
@ OP, you can follow the offense as prot, stay and defend the node they just took over.
Ideally, win BS. Alliance hardly works for BS and itās why we lose.

But that isnāt grounds for a ban or a report. If that is what happened, then the people that reported him should be getting a time out for abusing the reporting system. Like it or not, if he was engaged in the match and was actively engaging the enemy, its fair game.
You must be new here. AFKing at stables/farm is one of the fastest ways to get a ban that will never be overturned.
Would not recommend.
prot palas are not great at surviving in BGs, iād say holy is a lot better
Worst feeling ever when I join a BG and all the warriors are prot or communal geared DW fury, and all the palas are holy or prot. RIP WF totem
Never said I agree with it, but doing something your team of zugs will probably be unhappy with is not advisable.
You ever see someone call āreport this guy afk at our town hallā and heās gone in seconds?
Literally how reports work, you just need enough people to do it.

This is not why he was banned. I got reported a lot for leveling my characters in BGs from 51-60 but never banned.
Because Blizzard doesnāt care what you do as long as you play. They do care if you join a BG and then AFK. Even people fishing in AVs werenāt banned. It is still playing.
You will be banned and it wonāt be overturned if you AFK.

The problem with defending in AB is that players get too carried away with it and stick around their nodes when the fighting calls for you to get out of your node and attack another, which means ghosting. Itās frustrating to go on an attack and see on your map that almost 3/4s of your team is in its two nodes while youāre fighting, trying to take back a third.
Not completely their fault.
Ghost shaming is a thing Iāve seen since classic whenever someone leaves their node. All that has done over the years is create a culture of overdefending. So, when the OP does something legit like defend a node, it could come off as sitting around AFK.
So, his story is possible.
Wafectus PvP tip: When youāre winning 3-2 then suddenly go down a node, everyone needs to get out of their 2 nodes and attack, preferably a 2-pronged attack on simultaneous nodes. At most, leave one behind to call alarm, but if a risk is warranted, get out of there and back up your offense.

So long as you donāt straight up afk like a lot of people do it shouldnāt matter. I have a prot paladin alt that queued into a EotS and i didnāt heal this warrior that charged into like 12 horde like an idiot and got mad that i didnāt heal him (of course he was from Benediction, the realm of entitlement).
You simply have people that have that mentality which I usually leave a slot on my ignore list for because those type of people will make a alt on your realm and harrass you afterwards too if you donāt knip it in the bud.
Oh no! Whatever will we do without an afk prot paladin?

When you post on a public forum youāre opening yourself and your opinion up for judgement of the public. Quit telling people not to reply to your thread.
As for my opinion as to what happened; I doubt you were defending stables. You were either AFKing, or you were ādefending stablesā and ran away the moment horde showed up every time, thus tending yourself afk in the eyes of your team. Blizzard has banned a LOT of people in Classic for PvP AFKing and PvP botting. They donāt ban people for playing the game.
Your naivety would be endearing if it wasnāt also pathetic.
Well itās hard to offer an insight into a situation when one wasnāt there. You can only go by what you are told and IF you had been there you might have insight to offer.
Beyond that if the only reason given is āPVP Abuseā that is a bit to unpack.
I mean people say AFKā¦ well youād think it would say that. It doesnāt mention mechanics abuse etc When I played Dark Age of Camelot I got an email about pathing abuse on a server Iād never played on. I logged in and immediantly got a GM spamming me about it and I said I do not have and have never had characters on that server. They checked and then said a clerical error had been madeā¦
So mistakes can happen BUT they were also fairly specific. The person they were looking for had been using a pathing exploit in pveā¦
Anyway PvP Abuse to me seems more like a chat incident or something like that (emotes? who knows).
Againā¦ hard to say as the information provided really doesnāt make senseā¦ but that happens sometimes too.
The issue is that players see guarding a node as not playing and falsely report.
yeah just flag this afk lover, hopefully this troll post gets hidden
LOL youāve been buried in every thread you post in, take some advice and keep it to yourself on this one kid.
The number 1 thing that is getting people banned is the āpassivityā of action when being attacked. Translated- The sheer āNON-responseā to anything when being engaged by some one else from the other realm. This is flagged by an automated system that pulls it out of the logs. Dont ask me how i know, but I do. Look at the :Motive: section of your bann explanation. ***Passivity and or abuse of PVP features ****
