Just curious. I've been doing BGs alot lately, and i've been doing my share of reporting afkers/botters.

So, one day i found an afker in SOTA. Reported him during multiple BGs during the same day (got him kicked once or twice). Was a bit frustrating, but whatever, it happens. Much to my surprise, i see him again in SOTA a month later (weekly bonus both times, iirc). Still afking. Still leeching XP. Just recently checked his armory, and he's still around.

Why the hell am i reporting people, again? There's no hacking/botting program that you need to study. Just plain old "afk, hit a button once in awhile to not /afk out". Never left the starting boat/dock. I don't think i've ever seen anything that's made me want to quit doing BGs so much.

Tyrazsun, as Eilethalua suggested, it's worth submitting an in-game petition for these more troublesome players. Because of the high possibility of a frequent AFKer also being a bot, these players are dealt with similarly through extended observation. But that process does need to start with an in-game petition to give us a heads up on particularly unhelpful individuals like these.

Thanks very much for taking an active role in keeping battlegrounds fun and engaging! The more players we have that take such a stance, the more our Game Masters are able to take action.
