I was NOT AFK!!!

Just a few moments ago, I believe I was kicked from Alterac Valley. I THINK it was for being AFK though I didn't see the debuff appear on my screen.

I was NOT AFK!!! I was in the south cave trying to get the banner for the quest. I asked three times for help getting it too. If that is why I was removed from the BG, it's a lie. I was playing the entire time.

I obey the ToS. I don't want a black stain on my account when I was doing nothing wrong.

Greetings Anij I hope you are well today.

Perhaps I can shed a bit of light on the Battleground AFK reporting issue. Currently, any player in the battleground may flag players as "inactive" by right-clicking your name on the map. After several of these reports, players receive an inactive debuff, giving them 1 minute to engage in PvP Combat with an enemy character. If this timer is allowed to expire, the player in question will subsequently be removed from the battleground. I am sorry for any frustrations you might have experienced as a result of this system Anij, I can understand the frustration of feeling as if you were unfairly removed.

If you would like to see the current AFK flagging system changed, you may wish to make a post in our Suggestion Forum:

These posts are read and taken seriously by those that are able to implement such changes.

Best of luck to you in Alterac Valley!
