Guild Wars 2

Normally I don’t have too much of an issue with odd mechanics, and I should say from the start I have nothing against a mesmer being ressed through the watergate at bay.
Having to sit on a corpse for 10-15 mins to make safe a keep is no big issue.

What I do have an issue with is…..

A player can actually remain dead in the water for hours and hours on end, if a friend just resses him a really small amount it resets his auto-kick timer. I have been sat next to a mesmer in bay now for some 2 hours. Took me an hour to work out what was going on.

Surely this is an exploit and does need fixing?

that’s actually unnecessary, fiddling around with your character panel resets your afk timer on your own whitout the need for someone to go ress you

So perhaps it’s time to rewrite the rules around the AFK timer in WvW.

Perhaps not even DCing the person and just ejecting them from WvW back to PvE land.
Would be easy to implement as you can make Waypointing the only thing that stops the countdown after death. If the countdown completes they get ejected to Lions Arch.

well. i will have you know that taking off a piece of equipment and putting it back on also reset the afk timer.

nobody needs to ress you to reset it.

Perhaps automatically wp dead people after 10-30 minutes to prevent it?

While I’m not totally against it, it is kinda annoying not being able to do anything about it

You can just switch a gear peice while dead to reset the afk timer.
