Afk players in scenarios.

Post#1 » Sat May 23, 2015 5:47 am

Last week i see a lot of players afk inside the SCs mostly in the morning. Now its happen every day at least 15-10 SCs in a row. Players use 3d program to jump on spawn position so he/she and wont be kicked by the system. Number of such players + not balanced population inside the SCs make 1 realm sit on spawn position and watch timer ticking. All that afk people just need easy XP and renown.

There is no reason to afk in scs, save for the random trip to the potty (I don't blame you for that).

You mean the spawn camped faction is afk?

No, i think he means players who join scs to gain renown ranks by afk leeching from their teammates and/or getting the renown bonus on sc win. They have 0 damage/0 heal in the scs normally.

IMO, they should be kicked after like 20-30 seconds of being afk so that other players will be able to join and actually play in the scenario.

Problem is, they use mouse/keyboard macros to fake activitity and this prevents the game from logging them out or kicking them from the sc.

But you get almost nothing on the losing side, when afk. Being on the winning side makes it easier to push your team mates back as there are less active players.
The problem is the numerical balance. It has no effect, when some afk, when your side has twice the player numbers.
Dying is no option.

Being Afk flagged doesn't kick you out. tbh i was kidna often afk because of getting warcamp ganked and just waiting till the inbalanced mess is over, and i never got kicked out.

At some point of the SC development, when i first see that the player numbers are inbalanced from the beginning on, i don't even leave the WC because i know that my mates will be draged back from the enenmies after some Seconds. Its truly pointless to even jump down to "battle" if you get outnumbered 1:5
The last couple days were really bad speaking of SC balance so ofc many players were just standing at Spawncamp waiting
