why are we not allowed to votekick afk in BGs? Why do I have 3 rogs **** team who log on Horde to burn BGs and laugh to us we cant kick them? Is Zippz, Habibe, Xo. 3 rogs, 100% afk on some hidden road, loose all BGs they are in on purpose and laugh to Horde we cant kick them :D.
One more note to topic - whole afk system is broken as I literally cant defend flag in WG. If I defend flag I get autokick, but if troll logs just to burn game we cant get rid of him?
People who AFK would then find out who your characters are and group to vote kick you out of every single Battleground you ever joined.
Thinking about the ramifications of your suggestions falls dead center onto "you can do better."
So you are assuming there is more than 50% ppl afk in BGs? So why we even play here huh? :D So they would prevail and kick all ppl who wanna play? This argument is so wrong on so many aspects. What about 50% ratio? When more then 50% ppl votekick afk - it goes thru. Is never 50% of trolls is always just few morons. Basing server setup on argument trolls would prevail if u allowed us to manage is plain wrong.
But ok, you setup server to favor trolls and burn BGs? So you should watch the BGs if u dont allow us to do that. Now wouldnt it be easier to let players manage? Bcoz u dont manage it. I see these trolls for several month, already reported and nothing. And all u say is if u allow us to deal with it, trolls will win bcoz is more trolls on server than actual players? :D Lol.
Now how about the argument I get afk kick if I defend flag? Isnt it the same reason u pushed force autorespawn to AV? So I am unable to run to my corpse and get force farmed? :D Now I understand, we cant get no rele weapons on Lorda, so u block us gear access and force autores so Icecrown smourne buyers are happy for farm. I understand, is business. And I am happy to do my part and play with Lorda ****gear :D. But obvious burning of BGs and favoring trolls is gonna end up in nothing but end of BGs. Why would I even play BG when I know these ****s are online and nonstop que for Arathi? I know I will get 3 afk rogues in Arathi every single game and loose it. And they will be laughing at me the whole time I cant do **** about it :D. And yes, they are right, since u promote trolls over players. Is quite obv from your - "ramifications" lolz post.
you can just take the riot games approach and make the voting anonymous, aswell as hide the vote starter's name. This is still a problem regardless if you accept his suggestion or not, there are indeed people that just afk and move every few seconds every battleground to gear up. atleast on tbc
to add; ramifications like people grouping up to abuse the system are just side effects of a system. People will always look for ways to exploit anything in a game to their advantage, it is your job to create punishments severe enough to disincentivize something like that ever happening, and enforce said rules. Just like blizzard used to ban people who mass reported someone on classic vanilla after reviewing the appeals
just because something would take a few hours of brainstorming with chatgpt does not mean the easier path is the better one....no system is perfect but there must be better ways of handling trolling afks that do not contribute to the battleground.. (talking about actual abusers, not rogues looking for a quick laugh)
