This is the sad reality of how the noobs play this game now since 1.1.5. Your little insult doesn't change that fact.

offtopic, but anywho.....Guild Wars 2? LoL. You mean Planetside 2. Have you seen the new videos from the game developers conference yesterday? Planetside 2 will blow Battlefield 3 out of the water. It's like Battlefield 3 + Call of Duty + Unreal Tournament + 10 other games combined together. Can you say hello to massive 500 player battles with no lag? They did it with Planetside 1, and they'll do it again with Planetside 2....of course this is a FPS and not a RPG...if the developers learned from their mistakes with Planetside 1, then 2 will make for a great game...and it's also free to play...I'll definitely play planetside 2 for a couple of years, along with Swtor. Make your judgements after the huge content patch hits. If you still think the game is horrible and has no hope or future, well there are plenty of EA games out there for you. (LOL)

Pretty sure it is going to be like WoW's vote to kick "afk" people and even then they will get probably a 15-30sec timer and just have to move or click the option to say yes I am here. I highly doubt it'll be a vote to kick because this player is bad or got his 4medals and is just sitting there type of thing that just screams griefing.

The gear you get is meant for WZs anyway, which the AFKers clearly don't want to do, so why are they grinding commendations and valor to be able to get gear for something they clearly get no enjoyment from?

I afk in WZ's because I like open world PVP and after I finish my Ilum daily if I want to farm up some COMMs and Valor I'll afk in a WZ since I hate them and with the new patch BW is trying to funnel people into them so they forget how broken Ilum can be.

I will continue to farm and go afk. Enjoy and blame BW.

Medals give +500 Valor up to a max. of 4, great so while I leech off my Ilum daily I'll just deliver a killing blow and get the 3 protection medals watching my teammate die.

I have no skills but whatever! Win or lose, I get 3000 Valor anyway every game!

How exactly are the good serperated from the bad in this game? All I hear the bad PvPers who caused us to lose the match?

Great changes. Already loving 1.1.5.
The good are separated by that header that says either 'Victory' (Good) or 'Defeat' (Bad). AFKers and such are Losers. Seriously. Play to win, gear/quests will come, it is easy in this game.

Play to lose and still get rewarded. This is the game bioware has created.

The valor and badge difference for winning or losing is now negligible. I don't blame people for afk'ing once they get their 4 medals. The gear is so easy to get in this game why not just afk your way to Battlemaster? BW is clearly ok with it by how they set up their system.

Do you need a cookie or something to make you try? You can't do anything just for fun, or foryourself and others? Yes, winners and losers get the same amount of valor and one quest update. Winners get another quest update...And they...Win. I'd rather win than lose. Maybe ranked ladder will make you try when you get some e-peen out of it. If you win.

Yeah, I think it is 3 for completing a warzone but you don't get credit for every kill in a warzone. Nor does it seem that the counter for the daily and weekly are in cync.

Yesterday, I played 6 matches. I averaged about 6 counted kills / game plus 3 kills towards a daily. After just 5 games, I had completed the daily yet only had 15 kills for the weekly. And after the 6th game (which was a loss) my kill count for the weekly was only 18.

Yet I should get the same credit on both.

I don't think things are quite working as intended.
