Afk in bg"s (av)

[Percetyy]

I want to know if its banable if you are siting afk 24/7 on those AV's ???

[Ezrage]

No, why would it be bannable?

[Percetyy]

There are few players who are just siting afk 24/7. When they recive the debuff for afk just atacking some mob or a player to remove it. I think this is not cool and some players who are doing this whole bg deserve to be baned. Thats true bloodsucker. When you have 4-5 kind of players in your team sometimes its thuff. Imagine you'r have rank14 Siting only AFK. The horde players who are spaming AV's maybe will confirm about few players like ,,Teammate and Blazemancer'' Imagine having 1k hkils whit less than 10k dmg. I hope they fix it some how

Dunno - but yeah these AVs consist of about 15+ rogues and warriors sitting behind everyone else just AFKing. No point to report them because they shoot an opposing faction with one arrow to clear their debuff then go back to AFK.

This heavy HK only meta incentivizes such behavior, and also the fact that you get HKs from an absurdly long distance away from where the actual kill took place

From Warmanes "Players code of conduct"

"Avoiding the AFK kick mechanism in Battlegrounds: Do not join Battlegrounds if you aren't willing to help others to win. Using bots or anything else to keep you from being kicked by our anti-afk system is not allowed.
Exploiting skills: If certain skills/spells can be used in an unusual way to exploit and create an unfair advantage over other players, avoid doing so."

According to their rules, it is. Does banning happen? Haven't yet noticed any1 that i follow to get banned for afking in battlegrounds, but some claim they have.

Ok, just now witnessed a ban for afking in battlegrounds! This is really happening.

It's happening but it's hard to detect. Instead of trying to detect AFK'ers, I'd like to see a mechanic (that isn't reinforcements or anything about changing how AV works) that requires players to actually be active.

Require X amount of damage/healing per hour (measured in like 5m intervals) such that if you fall below you need to do damage or healing to another player. This would require a more advanced bot program to circumvent (and therefore more likely to be detected) and would also disincentivize non-botting players from just hanging out and collecting HKs.

Why ban? They made a terrible pvp system, so you can't blame the milee of characters for having nothing to do on this clowning what called - BG

So when you get pushed into a GY and get farmed and die a GCD after you rez, you fail to meet minimum requirements and get kicked for AFK?

Or when you get caught in that position, you run your ghost to another GY and lose 3-5 minutes in ghost form and can't meet the requirement again, you get kicked for being AFK?

Yeah, that's a bad system.

And that's what we have in wotlk realms.

No, the system is about reporting players being afk. It's not automated.

It has nothing to do with examples you said either.
This is about those, who stand far behind others collecting hk's while other players fight at the bridge or in the middle. Then if other players report them for being afk, then they go and attack enemy to clear the afk debuff and again move back being afk and doing nothing for the team.

The PvP system is bad right now, but it is no excuse to stand back doing nothing and get carried by others.

[Percetyy]

Thats well done said. Hope they change something soon.
