Report afk abuse

This needs to be fixed Zoned in progress mounted up and boom kicked to loading screen. No warning to get in combat or anything instant boot

This used to happen to me when I had a bad computer. By the time I loaded in the group would have kicked me already. I can’t really blame them though.

Its not a PC issue. I am runing 150 fps. A group of people right clicking report = instant boot. Already opened a ticket about the abuse

frames per second isnt the problem. seconds of loading is the problem.

let me try to give you a time line

  • Zone in to av
  • mount up start moving
  • booted with AFk debuff

Wow is on a SSD Don’t have loading screen times :man_facepalming:

this was a issue before with Troll guild groups and Muti boxers x amount of people hitting report afk = instant boot

hopefully that help people who did not read the first post

This is a good thing, say some bad actor keeps resetting the boss in your AV for example. You should have a way to kick them.

I disagree unless blizzard is gonna start suspending people who abuse it. No reason for an automated kick system that can be abused

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.

You were not moving according to their map, therefore you are afk.
They did nothing wrong with the information they had .

Source? Zoned in mounted up started moving kicked. So Sorry got to disagree. It’s called griefing hence why Gm ticket was filed had this happen before with people abusing the report spam to get you a 24 hr auto ban back in wod

If it happens often enough that you have to come complain about it I doubt you are as innocent a victim as you make out.

Sorry Assumptions are cool and I know everyone is guilty when coming to the forums but this is the secound time its ever happened. Once is to many, That’s griefing has not place in this game hence why the post was made and gm ticket filed. The point WE do not need a instant kick for pvp that can be used to grief people

I only saw this type of thing once in all my years.
There was a multiboxer in IoC who got salty he was losing and kicked me and the other guy since he didnt get all 40 characters in the same bg.

yea I been playing since 07 seen this two times only

Well don’t hold your breath about GM intervention.
Kick system and afk report are pretty hands off things.
Also, if you’ve only seen it twice is it really forum worthy?

I don’t expect gms to do anything TBH. It should be changed hence the post.

It does more good than harm.
I’ve seen it used to remove bots and afk and trolls plenty of times.
I’ve seen it abused once.

If it’s only ever happened twice then isn’t this a disproportionate amount of rage? Vote to kick is a necessary tool, enough so that we have to put up with the occasional jerk.

Vote kick does not Exist in PVP. It says Report AFk not Vote kick
