Just lost a ranked match due to 2 players AFKing and insulting each other the entire time. ANet, is it possible to detect AFKing technically (not moving, remaining at spawn, etc.) and at the very least not reduce the ranking of other team players victimised by such childish behaviour?

Anet could make this game less bad, that way people dont have to insult eachother, but have fun instead.

I have noticed not many afkers at all, however when I do they are always in my team, typical, haha. To be honest I find afkers extremely funny because of what they are usually saying in team chat, I can hardly even play sometimes because of how much I am laughing at the rage and arguing! I had one guy say before game starts say ‘there just one rule- you go far I go afk’ so of course someone goes far and true to his word he goes afk for the rest of the game and the funny thing is we had a decent lead when the guy went far- lol! I had two guys raging at each other today for an entire match because one didnt res the other when he was downed and all the while they were both afk!
Enough of that though, really the only thing you can do if it annoys you is report them because they are making ranked matches unfair which is not a good thing as it prevents their team’s progress through leagues, though from. My experience it is not such a huge problem.
