Guild Wars 2

I really like Dragonball, but the afk’ers are really ruining this game. If there was a kick option, it would really help fix this problem.

It’d be badly abused.

Hopefully as word gets out that the dragonball achievements don’t count, and even the people who don’t hear that just finish them, the problem will correct itself.

Or, maybe instead of a kick feature, ANet could code in an anti-afk feature that after 1 minute of no activity dumps the player back to LA.

No, it’d need to be shorter. I’d say much less than 1 minute. Maybe 30 seconds. I’ve seen a lot of these afk’ers throw a ball once every few minutes and then go still again.

Also, the current kick options for groups in the main game have it to where you have to “vote” for it. I don’t see how that could be abused.

It gets abused in the main game.

Here’s what would happen:
Several people would get together and start kicking players who are better than them with the goal of eventually creating an arena they could dominate. Even if you were only allowed to vote people off your own team, they’d eventually replace all the good players with poor ones.

Hmm, I suppose I could see that. Perhaps introducing a single one time use kick for each game then.

I’ve actually started to ignore the afk target when I play even though I could easily score a kill for my team. I do this consistently and yet still manage to often get the highest score on my team.
