Hello Masimove,

Q u o t e:
You need multiple people to report him afk, and after 2 minutes it will boot them and give them Deserter. It does do something, just ask the raid to report as well. However there are bots that have evolved to /follow random targets, which will put them into combat negating any effect of the afk unless the people they are following stay out of combat for that period.


The reporting feature currently in place does work. As Xurple mentions, you can ask the rest of the raid to report the player afk. Also, you have the option to open a ticket and report the player if you see them consistently in-game bypassing the system.
Q u o t e:

blizzard doesnt really care about pvp, even though the PVP is just as big of a part of the story as PVE raids..... it wasnt called orcs vs humans for no reason.


As an active PvP’er myself, I personally disagree here, Masimove. We care for our PVP’ers and are constantly looking for new ways to improve PvP gameplay. The Afk reporting feature would not be there if we weren’t listening. Sometimes it may seem that players continue breaking the rules or use programs that aren’t detectable and are one step ahead of us, but they really aren’t. Please be aware, however, that we cannot discuss the actions taken upon them.

If you have any suggestions on how we can make this feature work better for you, please use our Suggestion forum where our developers will be happy to hear your ideas.
