Not the leader of a bg? /afk

[Ellay]

For anything but AV wait for about a minute before you join into the game, whoever the last person that joins the game is the leader. This should put you all in the same group as hopefully everyone else is in, or if not you'll have leader anyways.

For AV, either use pre-made AV enabler and set it to automate hoping you manage to be the first person in the game ( which keeps you as lead ) or do as others have suggested and simply ask the lead to put you in the same group, which I have found is sometimes hit or miss - but still have to ask.

Often I've also found that the guy with the leader tag wants nothing to do with it, ask if they will pass it to you, take the lead, form up the groups, etc.

I have found that VERY often, people just don't know how to rearrange groups.

Or that the BG Leader is afk'ing

do people still afk and leech with afk-report system?

[Ellay]

Yes, it's about half as bad as it used to be, but it's slowly taking over again.

Yep. The report system requires too much effort.

I admit that when I'm raiding with my main I'll half-afk/half-play on AV another account and I've never been flagged afk. Not even the few times I actually do afk out during a boss fight when I forget to move the alt to keep him active.

You have GOT to be kidding. How intuitive does drag-n-drop have to be? /boggle

You would be amazed......

With Automaton's autojoin feature, I'm always the first five players into the battleground. I've occasionally ended up with one or two in a different group, but one of my characters is always leader.
