Reporting AFK

I’ve been playing a few battlegrounds lately and there’s been people AFK. When I right-click to report them (their portrait and name in chat both give the same results), all I get is the Report Communication (report Spam and Advertisement and such) and Report Name that comes up, nothing for AFK.

Am I missing something? Should I be doing something differently? Did they move the AFK reporting function?

There should be a second report option on the right-click menu that is specifically for battlegrounds. At least there is one in the Retail game. I haven’t checked in Classic versions yet.

Ok just joined a BG to check again. Here are screenshots showing the location of the second Report option. It will give you the ability to report for Gameplay Sabotage.

It’s Retail.

If you are not seeing the option to report AFK while in the battleground, then it is most likely an addon blocking that option, and a full UI reset would be in order to take the game back to original.

That means I’ll have to set HealBot up again. Bleh. lol

I’ll give this a try and see if it works. Thank you! -crosses fingers-

You can avoid that by renaming the old folders as something else to do the reset. If it works, you can find what other add-ons are cuasing it. If it doesn’t work, you can just rename the folders back to their old name before you change them to keep your settings.

It’d probably be faster to just set up HealBot again. I’d have to do a BG every time I added an addon back to see which one did it, wouldn’t I?

Maybe it’s time to lighten up the addon file.

No, you just add 50% of the backup Addons back. If the problem doesn’t re-appear, you add 50% of the backup Addons you didn’t use. Rinse and repeat until the problem comes back.

Once the problem returns, copy 50% of the backup Addons you last added in, back out and put 50% of those back in.

Keep adding/removing Addons in 50% groups.

You can essentially use that. Process to narrow things down if 50% groups to a single addon without dealing with each addon one at a time.
