Battlegrounds - Abuse of the AFK system

hearth back to base? how?

By using Frostwolf Insignia (or whatever the alliance equivalent is)
[item=17909]Frostwolf Insignia Rank 6[/item]

You have to pick up the quest in Alterac Mountains north of Tarren Mill, then win one, then you get the rank 1 insig. To get rank 6 you just have to faction up with Stormpike or Frostwolf.

It happened a lot in Nightfall EU BG before Russian realms appeared. Russians were very aggressive PvP players and made a lot of premades. That was their default behavior towards "foreign" players. It happened to a lot of people. They seemed to like me though as it never happened to me.

What I'd do:

FRAPS every single moment from the start of the BG, get the best cuttest screenshots after to show a GM. Even those with only one brain cell would see the sequencing and immediately understand what went on.

I didn't know GM's even looked at submitted screenshots. I thought it was completely off limits.

If they don't it means they have ways of verifying the abuse without them.

I have asked 'do you want a screen shot?' and gotten 'sure' for a response, uploads to imageshack seemed to be fine.

They use their own logs, they won't accept screenshots or video as proof of any kind of abuse or accusation against other players.

They will look at them if it's something simple like a UI issue or "i'm lost" harmless kind of thing.

EDIT:

Vulgar language and verbal harassment can absolutely represent a violation of our policies. Should you witness a player using that kind of language, under any circumstances, please feel free to submit an in-game petition notifying us of the name of the player, and noting what they said.

Our Game Masters will be more than happy to investigate and take appropriate action. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept screenshots as evidence for a wide variety of reasons, but we do have powerful tools at our disposal to use in pursuit of such an investigation.

Also, due to our privacy policies, we'll be unable to notify you of the actions taken against another player's account.

I was commenting that they do look at screen shots, sure its great that some photoshopped image wont get someone banned. What my experience was with the screen shot was from above was I opened a ticket about a bug in strat when you did it too fast and the event was bugged and Ramsmtein wouldnt spawn, I asked about sending a screen shot he said sure, he then made a casual comment about me having a character bolting cloth while the other was fighting.

I have also submitted shots of people wall hacking and the GM has made similar observations.
