true. i cant really blame the npc rogue for taking a base full of enemies uncontested. i also apparently cant blame the base full of people for it because they’re just afking for an ez win and if you say anything you’re just a tryhard xdddd.
Always fun to see the howler monkeys yell for everyone to get to stables and not defend, then have a meltdown when a stealthy gets by and caps other nodes.
There’s a difference between defending or defensive play and idling in a corner to avoid people. One doesn’t have to sit at their bunker or the solar sphere for the entire 35 minute match.
Did you read the blue post? They are not talking about idling in a corner. They are talking about people getting reported and banned for defending positions that are not getting attacked.
There was a huge banwave and controversy around Blizz banning people for defending towers in AV…thus the blue posts explaining it. I’m not disagreeing with your experience, but players have definitely been banned for defending positions.
If you read the thread, it doesn’t specify which game version it was for…only that you can be banned for being AFK if your team reports you for defending a position.
No, because I’ve spent 1000+ honor levels actually defending nodes without receiving so much as a warning because I actually defend and call incomings. Unless they sneak up on me, hehe.
I’m just saying that if you aren’t idling around doing nothing then you’ve got nothing to worry about. Actual, legitimate players who are interested in playing shouldn’t be affected.
But that’s not fear mongery enough, I suppose. Nor outragey.
