So… I didnt have much expirience with this until today but after i started a ranked match (Sapphire, tier 2) we figured that we have a guy in team who’s just just standing around the spawn and moving a bit left and right every now and then. My question is: how to report that person since report menu doesn’t really offer a afk/troll/etc. as an option?
We have been asking for very long time why customer support never does anything about afkers, trolls, griefers and people who verbally harass other players in matches. The only kind of response you may get is a ban because claiming that players harass other players in matches is against forum rules apparently.
Why shouldn’t he afk? The matches are predetermined, you can tell who is the winning team within 30 seconds of the game starting. Might as well end it faster. It isn’t like there are competitive matches where one person can make a difference. I see no valid reason to punish AFK’ers in the current matchmaking setup.
They need to bring back /resign from GW1. When you’re down a player and losing 350+::30 just let us end it and get back in queue faster already.
You didn’t see TCG last matches I guess?
“TCG claimed a 501–42 victory in the first match, and cruised past the competition to win 500–34 in Forest of Niflhel.”
If they let it happen at ‘espurtz’ level then it sure as hell isn’t going to happen anywhere else. Not to mention the ddos where they just continued the game when one team was a player down. xD
My teammates and I were just discussing this. We thought there should be a kick system. 4 votes to kick after the match starts (if your team is losing by x amount…say 100) and the offender gets loss of match and 15 min dishonor. Your team has to continue 4v5, but that was probably the case already.
I think they need a player karma/rating system. Where people who intentionally do stupid stuff or afk end up getting punished. You can report them for “botting”. However, there is not a visible punishment for it. Maybe they do get punished eventually, but I’ve seen people afking for multiple matches in a row. I’m not going to test it with my account, but it you seem to be able to troll ranked matches without any consequence.
I’d love to see Duhem come in and nuke afk people. Would do wonders for the game. Right now the biggest issue with sPVP is peoples attitude. I literally played vs someone complaining in all chat that they never were on a team where they were carried in all chat and they were going to quit trying. They were on a revenant and kept trying to cap our home, and got killed every time before they made the statement.

Then you’d be introducing Reddit’s problems into the game. You could get downvoted there merely for stating an unpopular opinion as downvoting is merely low effort disagreement. People would abuse the karma system like they do on Reddit by voting down people for not switching classes or running a weapon set they don’t like.

The toxicity and abuse would reach unreal levels. And the process of votekicking will enable an obvious window where the other team’s attention is elsewhere and if you’re on the chopping block you could announce to the other team some of the kickers’ locations to help them snowball even further after the vote and 4v5 windows are gone. Then you could find yourself being thrown into a hopeless game after someone else was kicked and still lose a pip. The power to give other players dishonor shouldn’t be so casually handed out. Do you want some spiteful 13 year old to have some power to dishonor you for no good reason? You could be playing your best game but make some modest rotational mistake (or even do a correct rotation that’s perceived incorrect by other teammates) and get voted out or they might not like your “lore breaking” outfits.
I say just add a report for AFK option where they can look at your character positioning history to check for false positives (and therefore false reporting) or if it’s legit AFK’ing. If your coordinates in a map don’t change for a whole minute for example then that would be a decent case.
