Report AFK abuse in BGs

PVP Battlegrounds
1

Been playing BGs to level some toons and players will announce in chat that a player is AFK in base mere second after the BGs started and the gates have opened. No exaggeration either. Seconds. A person holds farm on a BG and calls out the approaching enemy team? “OrcHunter2k AFK at Farm hasn’t moved/done anything!”

Reporting AFK needs more restrictions/abuse protection. Players that get others kicked from reporting them AFK should also get queue cool downs for reporting too often to discourage abuse of the feature.

The first team fight often decides the outcome of epic BGs. If you aren’t ready to play and need to afk at the start of the match you shouldn’t queue until you are ready. It’s not fair on the 39 other people on your team.

People are well and truly tired of soccer mom PVErs afking at cap points with the excuse that they’re watching the flag. It’s such a frequent occurrence that you won’t convince anyone that you’re somehow being super useful doing 0 damage and heals 95% of the BG.

Alliance have it worse because of shadowmeld.

We’re not talking 20-30 seconds here. We’re talking about the time it takes someone to mount up or finish eating from a pot that was dropped.

The report feature is abused.

PvP isn’t a leisurely game.

Get to the node before the other team. Flags get capped in seconds.

It’s because of players like the ones posting in this thread who complain about defenders.

They’re unaware defending nodes wins games, even while doing zero damage.

AFK or shadowmeld toons and their contribution to “losses” is greatly exaggerated by the stupidity of active toons having no idea what to do and tunnelling what ever is in front of them.

PS I’m loving my unholy DK that globals diseases on random tunneled toons running back scared into their entire team. OMG the damage I do on one global is insane in 40 mans.

They dont understand that, because these are the same people complaining about tanks healing and doing so much dmg. When it’s all just padded numbers
