AFK reporting harassment in AV

[Vyndree]

This greatly disturbs me.

...we currently do not hold that reporting someone who is knowingly active at their computer and participating in the match is a trackable form of a harassment.

I have added to my post in the suggestion forums here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...281282&sid=1#2
Please add your comments if you have any further suggestions.

This is not acceptable use of an in-game reporting feature. This is harassment and exploitation of the game. It needs to stop, or at the very least, be recorded and actionable.

it was just a simple sugestuion that you shud actually afk farm XD its much mroe funn in the long run (if yoru goign for 100'000+ HK) to wach soem godold movies (or porn if that floats your boat, for me i get to distracted and forget im in AV and get AFK'ed out :S /writenote must get a stopwach that pepes every 4 min 30 sec)

Lest this thread turn into something unintended, may I suggest that you refrain from suggesting people break the game's ToS? I'd certainly hate to see you banned from these forums. I understand your point to the fullest but Ellay has repeatedly stated that advocating or explaining how to break a game's ToS is strictly verboten.

The only way to deal with this is to play off and kill other side, or play def and kill other side. Get afked all the time. most of the time i run toward the nearest alliance person and hit them. U can also hit a npc remove it.

Next time i make a new grp they will be all different names and looks , should help some

Maybe you should just point out that you have enough toons in the BG to report everyone in it as AFK ?

good point it takes 5 to afk out a player by reporting them

I'm not going to encourage that sort of childish behavior. I'd only be encouraging them to do the same.

While I'm all for "payback", I'd like it to be doled out officially by a GM, not ignored because it's "working as intended".

Skuggo I'm gonna summon treants with Thorns on in your pants for that. AV's enough of a pain in the ass without AFKers...I caught a horde 60 shaman AFKing behind Galv's building at the very freaking start, hiding inside a catapult on my twins last weekend thanks to catform humanoid tracking...stealthed around, unshifted, shadowmelded, then 2shotted him with 2x 2 starfires from both alts...he didn't react till a good 2+seconds after i killed him, he targeted me(corpse's targets still show if you have it on) and he targeted me after death then checked the other druid, I /spat on him for afking and went back to work on Galv/IB with my team lol

Edit: The reason for the shadowmeld is that, normally when you cast, if the victim has no target, it auto-targets you...if you shadowmeld first, then cast, your cast starts before you re"load" into the world and the victim isn't alerted to your presence until the next cast ;p Quite useful when ganking your daily gankers as they turn in later...

one other suggestion do not ask AV leader to be in same grp. I do not ask any longer. Then most of the time you are not as noticeable. It sucks to not be in same grp, but it happens. in aV Iam just happy to be in same AV with all 5 toons

I kill Bal first then move on to north or south bunker. most of the time noone notices me that way.

Then again i think Horde players are more forgiving than allaince overall as a general rule
