Will my account be suspended if i AFK in Battlegrounds? That is, doing nothing but manually moving my character every 4.5 mins without using any hack or bot. I'm not planning to do it, but since a lot of people do, i'd like to know if it's "illegal" or not. Thanks.

Also, you can't ignore people from realms with spaces (ex: The Forgotten Coast)

While a willful lack of participation is perhaps antithetical to the spirit of PvP battlegrounds, it will not mert an account action; as long as you remain in full control of your character at all times, Aaee, your behavior will be tolerated. If you choose to use third-party software--or bot, to be more apt with my language--however, to accomplish this same goal, you will run the risk of receiving a warning, a suspension, or an account closure, as running programs which automate game play is a fairly poignant violation of the Terms of Use (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html).

I hope this clears matters up a bit. :)

I remember October. Some cool things happened back then.
