[Arena] AFK'ing in Arena, allowed? expert opinion needed

[Codam]

Why would you need to afk to do that?

At least lose as a player. Please don't reflect such laziness upon this community.

That's completely beside the point, the question was regarding the legality of it. I highly doubt I'm the first player you've come into contact with who has no respect or fondness whatsoever of the cesspit which is WoW's instanced PVP system. Nor will I be the last. I was also more than clear in my original post that this is not something that I have done (yet). Rather I was inquiring about info another member had previously posted.

To answer your question of why, so the matches would be over faster of course. So I can get back to playing the real game, the MMO I pay for. (ie: PVE and world PVP)

afaik u get arena points for damage you've dealt and healing you've done.

so fighting will give you more arena points than just afk'ing

Aha! a constructive reply

So I take that to mean you have abandoned your previous technique which I referred to? Thanks for the info.

Meh, screw it. I think I'd rather farm every normal instance over and over and get the best possible gear set of blues I can for each toon. Should be enough to get me started in heroics, and I need the rep anyhow. I'll leave CS-with-spells to the folks who enjoy that sort of thing.
