@Thunders of Magtheridon: please stop AFKing BGs

[drope]

First of all, I've multi-boxed before and support all you everytime I can.

One thing that pisses me off is a pre-made entering a BG just to lose and grab a quick token.
"We're a MAG PREMADE and are here to lose. Don't waste our time"
And when it comes from a multiboxer it will only grief people more and I don't think this is any good for the multiboxing community.

Second time in a row I join an AB with the thunders of Mag. Please stop it.

me and another boxer wanted to do this for wsg's and eots... and we sat in a 2min q for 25 mins... i don't know how people do it

[Vyndree]

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Don't make Vyndree spank you afk'ers.


@Drope -- Non-participation in BG's is a actionable offense. Particularly when repeated. I know some cases where gear has been stripped and/or accounts have been banned. Feel free to open a GM ticket regarding any experience, multiboxer or otherwise, with "losing premades" or just plain afk'ers. Be sure to mention the approximate times of each incident as it can help speed up the investigation.

I apologize on behalf of the rest of the multiboxing community for their behavior. Sadly, multiboxing itself isn't a personality trait and, like everyone else, there can happen to be a few bad apples. Since you've multiboxed before I hope you understand, and that this doesn't ruin your perception of the rest of the community.

It's a 25+ minute queue when you join as a large group. If you only join as 5 or less it tends to be quite shorter queue times.

Just my experience.

Just report him, they will lose all their marks and honor.

[Icetech]

if hes not AFK and is just not playing.. hes fine..

And reporting doesnt' do anything, i have reported the same guy for 2 months.. he uses *****, has told me he uses it.. and he has even spammed general chat with attack commands when it messes up....

[Xar]

This sucks, I don't know about the rest of you but I get mega grief same-side faction for just showing up with 5 in anything but AV and this kind of bull**** is just making it worse. Fight to win otherwise you're just helping the other side gear up faster.

Ice...recently there was a guy near the battlemasters that would spam regular chat with "we232222332222we" or whatever it was every time he came out of a match. He was also in later AV's and was cave AFK and would be marked afk every match I was in and now I don't see him anymore so keep reporting him.

[Vyndree]

You can report non-participation--whether they're at the keyboard or not--by using the Report AFK feature. There's no distinction on our end. Non-participation is non-participation.

Q u o t e:
So if I am killing harpies in AV to level my lowbie pet am I going to get my account suspended?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At least to me, there appear to be a number of more efficient ways to level one's pet than being in a PVP Battleground.

Regardless, non-participation is just that, Chakta. Be in there to fight or to complete objectives, or both. If you're simply "leveling your pet", then you're putting your team at a strategic disadvantage.

Q u o t e:

See, I am not trying to be a pest, but then why put them there? Blizzard removed all other NPCs from the battleground in a prior patch but left the Harpies and Kobolds in their respective caves. If you start banning people for killing them, why not just remove them as well?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never said we were suspending people for killing harpies or kobolds. Only that were suspending people for intentionally not participating in the battle for an extended period of time.

Remember that your efforts are not in vain. Blizzard likes to banwave people in mass amounts -- typically after an arena season. Continue to report the person for non-participation as it IS actionable. Even if he goes back into combat to remove the debuff then just afk's again, it IS against the rules.

You cannot decide not to participate in PvP. You will get what's coming to you -- even if it takes a while for Blizz to investigate and take action. The longer it takes for you to get banned, the more gear they're going to strip away from you. If you afk'ed in BG's for one piece of gear, and then got 2 more pieces later -- Blizz typically takes away all 3 pieces (because the first piece helped get you the remaining 2 pieces afterwards). It hurts all the more to have a nekkid character in the end.
