annoying PvP afk trend at certain hours

[troncho]

there seems to be this really annoying AFK trend at American hours - not just US, but American: Argentina, Brazil, etc etc - whereby u can actually expect to have at least 2 ppl afk at a bg. the times I'm referring to are from around 3am svt to around 9ish. and ye ofc its reported, but... still... the trend is there





I understand that this is a Romanian server, but... I believe everyone would like the server's population to grow. and well, America is quite a big market

I'd be nice to have at least one GM during those times

Yeah, that is a main problem for battlegrounds you can all day report afk players and still you are on very beginning.

those with 0 honor after 10 mins of BG means they just got in, since if you are from beginning you will get honor from a base captured, etc

and yeah report player away don't kinda works, it takes 5 mins i think and if the player doesn't move in those 5 mins it's kicked, but in 5 mins a bg it's lost already, also he can come once in a 2/3 mins to press W one time and go afk again

another problem is that people doesn't use the "report player away" option, i think the time until kick is shorted by number of players who reported

also, you can't have a GM 24/7 watch the BGs for afk people, but still i often see "X kicked Y, reason: afk bg"

you shouldn't be looking at honor when looking for AFK, you should be looking at damage and/or healing. if after 1 minute you still have ppl with 0 dmg/heal that means they are not doing anything and/or are AFK

actually you can.

I obviously don't mean the same person, but I believe recruiting GMs from different time zones at this point is necessary for the growth of the population in the server. not only for this AFK issue, but to answer tickets from players on different time zones.

and I don't mean GMs should watch every single BG going on, but peeking in once in a while and kick ppl with 0 dmg/heal should warn AFKers.

I sometimes see it too, but only at Romanian times

Hello,

GM's try to punish AFK players in Battglegrounds as much as possible Make a report on Ban requests so that they can be punished , also upload screenshots for proof.
