AFK In bg's

Is it against the rules to just join bg after bg and afk from start to finish? Almost every bg i join on Blackrock either my team or the enemy team has like 3-4 afk people in spawn. Often times it's the same people for hours and it's extremely frustrating.

The rules say "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." But i dont know if that's only when people are actually using bots or other programs.

if they do make anyone get reported as afk more than 5 time inactive and if he did not deal any damage/heal in the time he get kicked would make it easier for us

Already reported same guy who is afking in BGs with multiple accounts and 15 different characters like 10 times at least. GM just answered he will take a look about it and nothing more happened. Only empty words. This guy is still afking in BGs on Blackrock all day long and farming honors while doing nothing. Thats a bit of shame noone from GM Team cant solve this problem.

Thanks.

Yeah i took screens and opened an in-game ticket. No answer as of today (made it yesterday), but i'll just have to wait and see.

even if you do that , have you ever see someone get banned for afk in bg ? NO of course NOT

So far all botters I reported on Icecrown have been punished, one needed multiple reports cause he was active at AH(guess you get lots of gold to play with when you cap honor several times/day).
And that one pesky guy is actually free and judging by the heroic items invested in the character...traded/legit now(small temp ban I guess). Depends on who reads the ticket and how experienced/thorough they are.

Focus on exposing the bot rather than the fact that they're just afk, the spam they do with random buff+attempt to mount..rogues do the non-stop stealth, pop all big cds move several yards and wait for cds again.
If you see their bots working while queued in the city GMs might take a bit more of their time.
