AFK on purpose
Just report them for botting – they will be investigated eventually.
ANet needs to add afk to the report function. Otherwise, seems all we can do it report, and hope that somewhere along the line an admin understands that when we said botting we meant afk and then has the capacity to actually track if the player akitten or not, and then decided to take punitive action.

and nothing will be found by that investigation, because the player wasn’t botting.
DO NOT DO THIS, all it accomplishes is wasting the mods time.

funfact: it is not a bannable offense to lean back and smoke a cigarette while the whole map goes ape-poo.

Lol.
What a community we have. So pressed that we’re willing to attempt to get someone banned from a video game for not playing the video game.

I used to think (build op, pls nerf) like you, but then I took a nerf to the knee.

Yes. Accepting a queue pop is the same as signing a real life contract. To be honest, anet should just send the cops to your home and take you to jail for afking. Top logic mate.

Good job taking it out of context and appling no meaningful input to a topic.
Logic has nothing to do with it, it is to do with being mature and respectful of other peoples time.
I made the thread due to the fact ive had many games ruined by people afking on purpose due to them either getting annoyed at the team, has played with an ally before and dislikes them, having a bad day and taking it out on the team etc.
I dont think needing to go toilet during a game is looked down apon by anyone but purposly packing a hissy fit when you dont get what you want or doing it to try and get a reaction from someone should be punishable.
You had enough time to roll a smoke before the game started, and they usually last less than 10 minutes.

If i’m not mistaken you can report someone in SWTOR for suiciding. That’s a bit more sad then adding a function to report someone to afk so the opposite team can fight club the win.
But i would not mind having a report button for that too, it is ruining for everyone else. Sure if the score is 20-430 to the other team then i dont mind people camping base for the rest of the game.
Or if we have a 5v4 or 5v3 or less its pretty much a gg too unless you can turn it around with 4 people against 5 (is possible) but would understand why someone would afk in that situation.
But having someone afking at the very beginning of a game or just complete randomly if we lost a main fight it does not have to mean that its a gg already. Afking in such matter will just then make the possibility to lose a reality and ruin the game for 4 other people imo
so you think i should get banned when we are losing because my team fights off point or just keeps running to far while the other 2 points are not ours……. seems fair
im not going to even bother fighting and getting killed if my “team” wont even listen to some form of a strategy.
Sound like quene solo woes there, if you don’t like it there are a couple options you could attempt to premake a team.
If that stuff is happening within your premade then I don’t know what to tell you..
Slightly related question would you rather lose a close match while fighting tooth and nail or be able to toy with the other side to prevent a blowout before winning?

Your topic doesn’t provide anything meaningful either. You try to form it as a question of sorts. Like you wonder what’s the people’s opinion on this.
What do you think people think about it? Well, I can’t speak for others but I totally think it’s cool when people go afk mid match to spite me.
For real?
Also there is a report for “hacking”. It’s called “botting”. Bad wording I know, but rather obvious otherwise.
totally fine going afk , especially if you are in a 4vs5 or the score is 300-50, just let the game end quickly

But it’s worse than this. There are people who will afk just because their team lost the very first fight, which is downright narrow-minded of them. I’ve even seen people afk before the match even starts just because they don’t like someone in their team.
