When I have a 5boxer in my team when I play solo in bg's (which is 95% of the bg's i run), I report them by default except for isle of conquest/AV. Seen too many of them who either plain suck, have no clue what they are doing or just honor farm and ignore any objective. Which results almost every time in a loss. Opposite team focus fire 1/2 toons who is at the graveyard and the boxer has no means to gather up again. Had several occasions where I could boot a few toons and that turned the battle to our advantage resulting in a win. If the boxer is a good player and an asset to the team I leave them be. But that rarely happens, I basically treat the boxers the same way as I treat bots, slackers, afk'rs etc ... I report them afk.
Last night in 75-79 bracker I queued up on various toons (solo) with a mate for AB weekend. There were 3 boxers active on alliance, 2 who frequent this forum and who have a decent arena rating. And in 10 games where opposite team had a boxer, we never lost a single time. Not specifically due to the boxer, but 3-4 people of his team always following him, giving us free caps. And even in 85 bracket, quite some classes can nearly 1 shot a toon in the current state of the game.
My point being, it's no surprise that in the smaller bg's people report you afk if you think you are worth 50% of the team.
