BG and AFK - Jamba suggestion as well

[Multibocks]

All I am saying is that I report 5 boxers in the smaller bg's, when they ignore objectives, farm hk's, don't play for the team, come in crap pve gear, etc.

But that is not what you said before. In fact you said you report boxers BY DEFAULT. Think about that one. You don't even wait to see if they try to perform objectives. So yea, I would call that a dick move.

Let me input my 2 cents here.

You cannot be marked AFK before the gate goes up. Believe me i've tried... if you are getting marked before the gate goes up it is indeed a bug... and you can report that.

You get 2 minutes to engage in pvp.... if you mount up and run to midfield... you can engage pvp in less than 30 seconds if you have an epic mount.

So unless you are being a starting tunnel sleeper there is no reason for you to get kicked.

So instead of typing WHO AFKD ME YOU LOSERS I"LL KILL YOU ALL..... just run to the middle and attack. (npcs do not count... wolves/harpies etc).

In my opinion the report afk tool should JUST be used to report AFKers (and that means toons that are standing in the cave or GY and not moving at all)
Reporting anybody else AFK because they are moving sideways or no doing what YOU decided is preventing them from playing the game the way THEY want. it's harrassment. And abusing game mechanics.

It shouldn't be used as a tool to remove the "not-so-good' players. Believe me, they are allowed to play the game too.

If for some reason one of your toons get killed, is sent to the GY and is waiting for you over there (because there is action where the rest of your toons are or whatever), Do you /afk that toon?

I only 2-3 box the smaller ones. In 40 man bg's it's not really influencing the team when you 5 box (to the negative). At least not to my experience. But to answer your question: if in AV I don't have a combat rez available and right at that point graveyards change and my dead toon is at the other side of the map, yes I do leave the BG with him and carry on with the ones gathered up. But most of the time if I die in a bg while boxing, it's a complete wipe. But then again, I always have pvp gear on (at the max level that is of course), even if they just start out, there is always the crafted gear that is much better than full pve gear.

It might be just me, but I won't join a raid when I don't know tactics, I won't join a dungeon when I can't pull my weight, and I won't join pvp when I have no gear for it. For the simple reason that I don't want to be a liability to my team, when I know I could 've done a couple of simple things to avoid it. It has little to do with being a good or bad players, I personally prefer a bad player who has put the effort in getting crafted gear over a seasoned player in full unenchanted.gemmed pve gear. But as said, that might be just me.

Read the post under that where I explained what I meant with 'by default', before jumping to conclusions. In the end I'm no native English speaker, so you need to be patient with me

" pvp gear on (at the max level that is of course)"

Yes, most of us who box BGs want to reach this goal. Personally, I mainly box AV because I love the instance and whether I am 5 boxing or 10 boxing, my goal is to win. I am glad not everyone pre-determine's my motivation and AFK me right off the bat.

What criteria, other than someone being a boxer, do you look at when auto-AFK'ng boxers? What if I have 5 rogues and I go guard a tower and nobody comes in for 2 minutes? No matter how you try to justify it, you are griefing fellow boxers, period.

Did you actually read the thread or are you just trolling? Either way, I mentioned the reasoning behind it. If you fail to understand/read that, so be it. If that makes me a dick in your eyes, that's your problem. I rest my case.

I think it is generally bad policy to put power in the hands of haters.
