Resinball Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Therre is no way to report a player AFK in a warzone, as long as they arent in teh starting zone they cant be booted, i have seen several players sitting invisible afk in the corners of BGs so they can get the money and the XP while the resto of us do the work. you need a report AFK button.

SoupyNuggs Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 +1, def needs to be addressed, bioware. some sort of wow-like deserter system is simple and relatively cheap to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urothefox Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Indeed. A Sarlacc Pit needs to spawn beneath them and they can spend a few millenia being slowly digested while their account is suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is used to grief the hell out of people. I haven't seen anyone afk in any WZ at all. Not saying it doesn't happen but I believe you get auto-kicked for inactivity.

Chocotaco Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 No cross server queues. They will end up /ignored by the bulk of the server then /ragequit once they realize it. The problem will solve itself. Just make sure everyone /ignores them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalafeyn Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Truly a old annoyment, thats passes on from game to game. Brings fourth bad behavior in others. Like whiners who don't see that they dont play properly, and nags and gags at everyone else(for instance, new players who still needs to adapt to the game etc.) People who looses matches after matches because they face "pugs" (premade groups) and then expcet a team of randoms to coordinate and be flawless at everything. whats worse is that whiners just whine, then start to sit around doing nothing other than whining. (you cant que full groups, but with a group of four that has their roles and knows more or less what their are doing, pose enough challange against newcommers, solo quers and so on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdflew Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I too have been leveling thru PvP and I have yet to see one player AFK. This makes it kinda hard for me to believe that it's a huge issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enderf Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have seen what looks like someone with a second account both in the same BG, because only 1 of the 2 characters would move at a time and they had similar names. It was funny I killed both of them. 1 would attack the other just stand there, then the other attacks. Did it 2x to be sure it was happening, but I really didn't care double kills for me. -Ender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWYYZERDD Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Agreed, we really need an option to kick these people. Kicking for inactivity is not enough, as someone can just move once every couple minutes to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetorept Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 No cross server queueing removes the anonymity factor and the "I don't care what these people think of me" factor. Which is prevalent in certain other games. The community will police itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFett Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have a feeling we will see a fix for this soon. Kind of a big exploit right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakhari Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Agreed. I played all this past weekend in PVP and leveled myself 4 levels - which was great. But over and over, I kept seeing this one particular toon in almost all of my WZ. Geogewin on "Shadow Hand" server. He was afk in the back of the map in every situation. People in the WZs took to reporting him for spam in the hopes that a GM might remove him. He was level 29. I wonder how many of those levels, and how much money, he got from other peoples' work. Geogewin on Shadow Hand. Worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosharie Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 This actually happens all the time on my server. This is a character named Geogewin and afk's in every match. Myself and many others have petioned but nothing has been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalFinality Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I've seen it. They need to implement some way to not give the exp/end of game rewards to people who aren't participating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvaLee Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I haven't seen an afker yet. Not to mention afking in a warzone does virtually nothing except get them some EXP. They will hardly get any commends due to you actually having to do something to get them. Love the system to be honest, but could use a kick feature for those who have seen it.

Grimmace Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'll afk if I get a team full of derps in huttball that do nothing but fight in the center all game instead of following the ball, and the sad part is sometimes doing that I get more rewards then I do for winning quick matches by a landslide.

Draemos Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Been PvPing since day two of launch -- I have yet to see this occur in practice. Just a matter of time really. Happily, performance is rewarded in this game more-so than attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
