I think AFK in BG should be a bann reason.
everyone goes sometimes afk, but their are players who are afk all the time, therefore players who got reportet once shouldn´t get banned.
They should do something like: three afk reports on one day should result in one week bann.
my english isn´t very good, nevertheless i hope you understood my suggestion.
It is really annoying when you see that your team is getting ripped in pieces by opposite team only because someone is doing something and sitting AFK.
Banning someone is quite a big punishment, but lower punishment such as BG penality that won't allow joining in BG for a smooth period of time or loss of honor points could do the trick.
Would be nice if Warmane designs new penalty for deserter who has been kicked due to report and increases it for like 1 hour debuff compare to standard deserter 15 minutes.
Bigger problem as afkers (but still every bg 3,4 afkers inside in 10 man bgs), momentaly are cheaters in mop bgs who use al kind of scripts.
After a couple minutes of non-activity player goes AFK, if that player is in any kind of a battleground, including Wintergrasp they will be teleported out. It happens less than before but I still see people AFK in battlegrounds, not to mention Wintergrasp. Honestly I never spend a lot of time in queue for battlegrounds, one minute maximum on Lordaeron. Although players AFKing in a battleground is not affecting the team very well, they have the disadvantage which maybe that one player would change. That player should not be rewarded with honor but he still is. Especially in Wintergrasp when 20 people join and AFK in the fortress, by doing so the opposite race may get Tenacity, one or more stacks which might make the defending race lose the battle, and again they are rewarded for nothing. Reducing the kick timer to 1 - 2 minutes would change that and make it better. I would recommend 1 minute for Wintergrasp and 2 minutes maximum for battlegrounds. If a player which is trying to avoid the AFK kick in a Wintergrasp and doesn't move for 1 minute will get teleported to Icecrown, able to enter again if he/she changes his/her mind. Battlegrounds usually don't last long, if a player joins he/she is there to play and be active during that one in particular. So if in any case a player has to AFK for a minute or two, for example if he/she has to open his/her door or something, they still have time to get back, although it would make less people want to AFK during battlegrounds. Also the "report player away" system probably doesn't work, so making it work would help the PvP activity by a lot. Good luck :)
