So…you’re trying to draw a corollary between people not playing at all – being AFK - and a group playing coordinated and together??
More importantly, RUIN has been doing this for a long, long, long time. There is no 8 day ban. There is no warning. There is no consequence at all.
Why not?
Because it doesn’t violate ToS.
I know it hurts. I know it’s painful. Just type /afk, if you don’t want to play that Epic BG.
All of your smoke and mirrors about “farming” in an “unethical way” and “effect group play negatively” are meaningless. Know why?
Nothing being done violates ToS. And that’s according to the head of WoW PvP.
People complained about AFK’ers for years. We got a tool to deal with them in BG’s.

They don’t violate ToS. And they make every effort to make sure they don’t.
Get used to it.
