Its a shame to see that battlegrounds are now 100% useless, atleast on the alliance side. AFk'ers are NOT only found in AV but they ruin all my AB games as well. (for the few I've played since returning) Its a shame since it was a fun part of the game for me, before I took a break from the game. Now I'm wishing I would haved saved the money. Hopefully, new games will learn from this and have fun battleground pvp once again.

We are adding a feature with patch 2.2.0 that gives players the ability to report afkers in the battlegrounds. Once they have enough reports on them they will get a debuff that will count down 30 seconds. They will need to engage in combat during that time or they will get another debuff that will prevent them from gaining any further honor. Once they engage in combat, the debuff is removed immediately.

There is debate on both sides of the coin as to whether this will be the solution to AFKers, but we wanted to give a way for players to take some action against people camping in Battlegrounds that had some impact.
