Battlegrounds AFK Reporting Hotfix Implemented
CM Bornakk posted this announcement in the official forums about AFK reporting in Battlegrounds.
To help improve the quality of play in Battlegrounds we have applied a Hotfix that significantly reduces the number of AFK reports needed to mark a player as inactive and prevent them from gaining Battleground Marks and Honor Points.
For information on how to do complete an AFK report, please see the “AFK Reporting” section here: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/battlegrounds/info.html
Also, our In-Game Support Department is regularly checking for inactive players and they will be issuing disciplinary measures for those found violating our policies. source
It’s nice to hear that more effort is going into trying prevent AFKers in the Battlegrounds. I know that since the new reporting system has been implemented a while back, less and less AFKers have been seen. Of course there are those who persist in exploiting a yet flawed system.
The fact that the reported player, while unable to gain honor, still remains in the game instead of getting booted out is one issue many players are angry about. It would be better if the player, once reported enough times, would be booted out to make way for someone who potentially could help the group instead of idling about.
So while it’s nice to hear of more progress in improving on this issue, it’s probably not enough. Players will always try to find a way to to exploit any loophole so Blizzard should keep a tight watch all the time and keep improving.
