Seeded_Rancor Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I must say im getting quite tired of the ppl who go to warzones an hide in some corner for free exp. we have to be able to do something about this. Its getting really ridiculous with 2-3 ppl in a warzone just camping an hiding in a corner leaving the rest of the team hang out to dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timewatch Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 There's no solution to this. Unless bioware wants to hire 1 person per server to actively watch wz for bots, this won't go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeded_Rancor Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 A Party Vote to boot a player from the Ops Party is a very sufficient fix; so don't say there isn't a fix because i know in other games they have a system that the players can vote to kick ppl from a party.

Rtwozero Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Report them. Open a ticket and give the players name, level and class. Along with a brief description of their behaviour. Kicking them from the warzone is a short term fix. Take a minute to report them and they will get banned. Simple. Don't throw it back on BW saying that they need to hire someone to watch every warzone on every server. We, the players, can do that and help them help us have a better community and game experience. You can report them and action will be taken, or don't report them and continue to let them grief you in warzones. This will become an issue when people start/continue to ignore it. We, the players, need to be pro-active and ostracise these gold/valor bot farmers from the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukae Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 No one gets banned. Bots and hackers are running wild all over the servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronepilot Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm really not sure what your saying the issue is, what people hiding in cover - or in stealth ? that to me is the nature of their class, they work from the fringes of a battlefield they are not supposed to be right in the middle of it.

derkiederk Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 That's not botting, it's leeching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicksDigHarleys Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Make it so if you take/inflict/heal no damage in a match, you receive no reward at all...maybe ditto if you go 3 minutes without doing that as well. People will stop AFKing in them when they get no reward for it. They're not going to ban people for going AFK...life happens. Might as well get that idea out of your head.

Sadly, then this becomes a measure for elitists to boot out players who are there to work and learn, yet aren't up to the elitist standards.

No, unless you want even less people to bother defending points in ACW. You can easily go a few minutes without seeing any action there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 We had this guy on twin spears doing it for a while. Almost every game of huttball you'd hear groaning in general about getting the bot on someone's team. People kept reporting him but he was around for at least 4 hours. of straight huttball botting.

SWaotc Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I do it for two reasons, i'm constantly slotted into huttball games with no exit buttons so i've figure if i've got to stand around and wait to leave i might as well stay and pick up the xp/commends etc. Afterall the game has just wasted 15 min of queue time for me and slotted me into a game mode i loath and cannot avoid (huttball). Not to mention the grave balance issues of being a new lvl 50 and slotted into a match against a team kitted in full gear, or a low level up against player 40+. Recipe for gank fest much?? Instead of whinging about the players, maybe take up these terrible issues with bioware and then we might make some progress in the game.

Right click on pvp icon -> LEAVE WARZONE, I do it all the time, there is no penalty either. Gear balance is something that can be battled by skipping pvp till you have some decent items, then just play support for a while if need be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercArcher Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 he is talking about afk ppl not doing anything to win/help just leeching while afk. not to play devils advocate, but where exactly does it say that it's against the rules to leech in WZs?

Korizan Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just tell the enemy where those people are and let them deal with it. Free kill SW corner, such and such went AFK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like this cause it'll promote premades to boot low geared player cause they can. Just write up a ticket and it'll be taken care of.
