Darth-Prophet Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I enjoy PvP and alot of my game time is in War zones. But recently I have noticed ALOT of people afk botting war zones. Its not hard to tell which ones are. They run or a far corner and hide and then every few seconds moves to avoid being afk and kicked. Please add a majority vote or some kind of instant reporting/kicking system to combat this. Also make it once someone was either voted and kick from game or whatever they can not join another war zone for 1hr. and if they are kicked 3 times in a 24hr period they get banned from Pvp for a extended amount of time.

Florial Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Not sure I feel about this. Afk-ers are certainly frustrating and should be dealt with. What about the person who may be trying PvP for the first time and genuinely sucks at first? It can be a bit of a learning curve, especially if you don't know the zone at all. Getting raged at and then being votekicked would be a bit demoralizing. Getting a lockout would be icing on the cake. I agree that afk-ers should be penalized though.

Ironskillit Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Blizzard implimented a very simple solution. Players can flag someone AFK as much as they want, but if the persons combat log says they are in fact doing something pvp oriented (doing dmg, healing other players, protecting a flag) then the reported AFK did nothing to said player.

It takes a PVP action to remove it. And lets be realistic, most of this game is just a copy from a different MMO. 3 talent trees... yea they must have worked on that orginal idea for all of 2 seconds.

WoW did that most of the time,..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thugari Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I think a voting system would work best. and yes, people who leave warzones at the first sign their side is loosing need punished as well.

Caid_Baraka Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Today was the first time I've encountered this on my server. Admittedly I don't pvp alot. Same guy 4 WZs in a row. Run in and Num lock into a corner. We even had two of them in a Civil War match. Absolutely frustrating! Give us a tool to remove these people and limit their ability to continue to ruin game play. Ironskillit's post sounds like a pretty good implementation. Blizzard implimented a very simple solution. Players can flag someone AFK as much as they want, but if the persons combat log says they are in fact doing something pvp oriented (doing dmg, healing other players, protecting a flag) then the reported AFK did nothing to said player.
