You’re right. I don’t see how anyone can defend this. There’s no reason people should be able to report afk someone who just zoned in.
Fine. Report afk is a necessary tool, enough so that we have to put up with the occasional jerk.
I don’t care about the reported afk. My issue is no debuff instant kick. It should have gave the debuff to get in combat
I agree it is a necessary tool but should not have a instant kick attached to it.
yeah thats not how it works in PVP, it doesnt prompt other players like in pve, you report them afk then wait for a certain amount of other to report them, or ask in chat for other to report. Its not the same system though. Unless your loading screen take SOOOOOO long that you auto afk, but that is pretty unlikely unless your loading screen are taking 10 mins. In which case thats an issue with your pc.
Sorry buddy but your wrong, If a number of people report you it boots you no debuff its instant
I am not the only one who Has seen it
if you do a forum search you can see this has been brought up before
Also since you missed this post
yeah a number of people report you… the system works as intended. Maybe you just have a terrible reputation. Ive literally never in 16 years been kicked from a BG
Hmm. The only time I was reported afk it gave me a get-in-combat debuff, not an instant kick.
or as I said its griefing
yea could be a group of people trolling in the bg since muti boxing is dead now or a premade oh thats not our buddy boot
specifically targeted at YOU. Why? why you of all people in the BGs you join? I dont see people getting kicked for no reason, like ever, even if they are playing terribly, as long as they are playing. It really just seems like you are doing, or have done something that is affecting your reputation now.
Could have been a misclick. Could have said to report DH for AFK, then you join up, and you’re the one everyone just happened to target with report.
Just bad luck, doesn’t mean you need rework the report system. We’ve only got half the story. Yours. And even you only have half the story as you don’t know what or why it happened.
So again, bad luck. Not worth revamping the report system
I joined it was in progress no clue was booted as soon as I mounted up and left the cave
Sorry Assumptions are cool and I know everyone is guilty when coming to the forums but I highly doubt people are
Keeping track of every person they do epic bgs with
Know peoples alts
So sho with the straw man and Assumptions
Yea that could be it but here is the issue
instant KICK NO DEBUFF The afk system never had a instant KICK before so yes that does need addressed
Wasn’t instant. You didn’t do loading screens to loading screen.
As mentioned, you only need a certain amount of reports. Which my example covers.
Reread what I posted
let me try to give you a time line
Zone in to av
mount up start moving
booted with AFk debuf
Can you get your story straight. Was it with or without the debuff
could be unlucky with people reporting afkers, then you join in the same spot the afkers are hanging out in, but that would be a rare occasion, you are implying this happens frequently enough to complain about.
Well we only have one side of the story to go off, i agree it is unlikely people are tracking every person and their alts. But again it begs the question… why you, what are you not telling us?
ok let me try this again
Zone in to av
leave cave
mount up
move
booted
deserter debuff
No your team has reported you lazy debuff
Instant kick
Just like what this person experienced

I am done replaying to the devils advocate everyone is guilty. Thanks
