Wow. I remember that thread. Hard to believe it was that long ago. Now, I feel old. Thanks Fur!

There's just the one striking difference between than and now... the old afk system would flag you as unable to get honor but it would not boot you from the game, or give you a deserter debuff. And you didn't have a ticking time bomb on you while you're trying to get into combat. And in some BGs, it's just not that easy, considering most of the time you'll get it while dead at a graveyard and there's 15-30 of your precious seconds.

It's just frustrating.
