__________________________________


We would like to take the time to remind players that automated play or “botting” to prevent your character being removed from a Battleground due to inactivity is a violation of World of Warcraft’s Terms of Use (TOU). Earning honor without participation goes against the spirit of the battlegrounds. While we understand that there are times you may need to leave your computer during a battle, you should not do so for an extended duration or make use of any system to prevent your character from being automatically logged off.

Furthermore, this away from keyboard (AFK) behavior reduces the enjoyment of all other players who are actively participating in that battleground. Engaging in such activities may result in action taken against your registered World of Warcraft account. We consider this behavior to be a serious concern, and while we regret the necessity to take disciplinary action, our utmost commitment is to preserve the fun and integrity of World of Warcraft.

Q u o t e:
Can you do something about these people?

It is best to report any players you feel are exhibiting "AFK behavior in Battlegrounds" to us in-game via the petition system. Be sure to include the names of the characters and the realms to which they belong, as well as a brief description of the behavior. Thanks. = )
