AFKers have been in every single MMO ever made, they can't be stopped no matter how much belly aching you do.

Look, I understand where you people are coming from. I used to be one of those ban afker types until I realized that even if you fix this way to AFK, they'll find another. I also realized it really didn't bother me as much as I forced myself to think it did.

You're not going to win every warzone, AFKers or no AFKers. Learn to accept that fact and I promise you're ability to play won't be as affected as you think it is.
I have played an online game where known repeat afkers had their characters reset to level 1 and lost any items or currency they recieved by being lamers. It just depends how much resources and time BW is willing to put into it or if they care at all.

AFK exploiters should either be banned from warzone. Otherwise, they'll ruin the whole thing for everyone.

The sad thing here are people trying to say their deserve to play anyway they want. Which is true to a point. They pay $15 a month to play like all of us. So why is it in MMO's if you go rampant with swearing and all in shouts and trolling in game you go to a ingame "jail"? Because their actions aren't acceptable.

Now you take those AFKer's and say "oh it's their way of playing then let them". But look at it this way. I join a warzone for the fun of a good match. A good match isn't 5-6 vs 8 because of afker's. So say those 5-6 agree with me and we decide to quit playing this game. that's $75-90 less that BW makes off it's players. Do you really think that BW will really sit back and let themselves lose almost $100/month for ONE person to playy warzones? I know they wont. No respectable business will.

The people defending afkers most likely afk themselves, what other motive could they have?

With the nerf to losing, at least those who still try can medal out the rest of the rewards.

Simple solution: roll an oppositie faction alt and kill the afker....or politely let your competition know about the easy kill...

That's hardly simple.

And why would they want to kill the afker? The afker is helping them win.

You getting mad about it is like getting mad over an old lady doing 30 in a 65, you're not going to change her ways by throwing a tantrum over it.
Defending someone's right to play the game as they choose is a fine idea, but when those choices devalue my 15 dollars I take issue as I'm sure many others do as well. I might also add that defending people that are purposely exploiting goes beyond respecting players rights and to me, is shameful.

Actually Rift has pretty much stomped this out. You don't see afkers there any more, at least extremely rarely.

As for you defending them, you smell like a troll. So I'll ignore the rest.
