Guild Wars 2

During the Hologram fight I see more and more people standing in a corner AFK (presumably to get the no hit/in tune achievements).

I reported a few of those people already for botting (as suggested by the devs before for other events, since there is no AFK option).

Since there are more and more people abusing this, I want to ask before I get myself in trouble for “abusing” the report system: Is this a reportable offence?

Absolutely!

Anyone who chooses to AFK the holo fight after achieving what they think is enough damage for event credit, they are essentially griefing the entire fight and the entire platform. They deserve a juicy 3-day ban minimum and you should not fear any repercussion for reporting these snakes.

Definition of a griefer: “A griefer is a player in a multiplayer video game who deliberately irritates and harasses other players within the game, using aspects of the game in unintended ways.¹ A griefer derives pleasure primarily or exclusively from the act of annoying other users, and as such is a particular nuisance in online gaming communities, since griefers often cannot be deterred by penalties related to in-game goals.”

This does not match what AFK players do. Can we please get developver confirmation if this is a reportable offense or not, as the average player’s ability to interperet the rules has proven less than stellar in the past.

I just resort to guild shaming. Announce in map chat that ‘x’ guild is leeching.

Some smart players don’t rep their guild (even guild leaders) while they do it.
