Naw I talk to people in onslaught and they admit to account sharing with VPNs lmfao
Lets be clear, anyone claiming that they got an 8 day ban for AFKing in a BG has to be lying. They did far more than that. Otherwise the report feature could be easily abused.
They would have to have a history of being reported, along with breaking the ToS and doing AFK premades while naked. So after 100âs of reports Blizz will look into that player and see yes, they literally took off their gear and did naked AFK BGs for days.
This is great news.
I know people that account shared too, but to say that was the âmetaâ is just not true.
They are the outliers

Nah. No one forced the playerbase to knowingly coordinate and act against the spirit of the game.
Iâm gonna go ahead and assume you were one of the ones participating in these bgs considering youâre defending it so heavily.
Sadly, most of the bans appear to end on the 1st. Instead of forcing them to sit out the first week, followed by strolling through the gate late, and getting corpse camped by druids that no lifed to 70.
I suspect blizzard doesnât want them to quit the game, just try and convince them to not do it again. Which isnât good enforcement, because itâs not enough to make others terrified of abusing obvious nonsense.

Report the AFKers!
Oh I agree. Iâd rather play and compete than use cheap tactics like that.
serves them right to get penalized! Nothing pisses ppl in BGâs off more than opening ur map and seein a Rat hiding in the cut hoping no one would notice that theyâve been in the same spot for 5+ min.

If the premades were taking up the whole bg I donât see an issue tbh. But if they werenât full and you got paired with a premade losing then I think they should be actioned
Blizzard sees it the other way around.
Good! This is awesome, it was needed. I hate people who go in and lose on purpose.
This is ABSOLUTELY false. As someone who did the grind multiple times and knows many others who did the grind and actually knows what they are talking about. People who have no idea what theyâre talking about say these types of things to devalue other players.
The majority of people who hit rank 14 did it through premading yes⌠but proper premading.
Yes, there was some of this AFKing at the start (as Kayberz said). Maybe 10% AFKed in general. I NEVER AFKed unless it was a quick bio or I fell asleep.
Edit: I canât speak for Skeram but I fought plenty of Skeram premades on my alliance and they were in no way AFK. I canât also speak for account sharing but one server isnât âmostâ in any way. I know many who ranked on many servers and what is being described in your posts is in no way typical.
Edit for anyone who says âLOL you werenât around for AV weekendsâ etc: MOST alliance would honor cap early and would not need to AFK in AV. Most horde werenât AFK either, yes I pay attention. Above I did say around 10% did it anyway, that is a small amount, not the majority.
The fact that you donât realize that lots of HWL were afking on AV weekends cracks me up.
horde dont get to afk to r14 LOL, also iâm glad the afkers are getting slapped i have been reporting all of the non participants on both teams have a fun tbc launch 
! (they could afk quite a bit at early av release and ppl did it throughout of course but not to any massive degree its actually counterproductive to our queue times to not participate)

Youâre just saying this after making multiple posts/threads condoning AFKing in BGs. There are people who hardly do BGs at all and got the suspensions.

LOL you have made multiple threads supporting afking in battlegrounds. Then you said people were trolling when they tried to tell you that blizzard was handing out suspensions.
Why not try it for yourself since you donât believe us.
