Today I started Boss Blitz in Crown Pavilion with Wiggin the Wicked.

And there are many necro and engis just standing around, not doing much damage, they only scale boss, constantly dying under bomb barrage (other players constantly res them).

Can Anet send some Dhuum squad here?

I wonder if instead of they being dead and sitting there forever, after 30 seconds, they get respawned and the waypoint.  I tend not to raise those people because the WP is really close, and during the battle, I figure doing damage to the boss is more important than trying to raise someone.

force respawn if you in boss event range, would be nice solution for any pve content.

There’s no such thing as AFK players in GW2 as ArenaNet has systems in place to prevent this sort of thing and they take action against players with a penalty that is more than just a slap on the wrist if found to actually be AFK. /s

While AFK is against the TOS, it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

A total AFK (no keypresses at all) would be easy to detect and enforce action on them.

But some script that randomly activates some skills would probably be much more difficult to detect.  And I have no doubt that there are a bunch of those out there.  No company wants to be too aggressive in trying to prevent these things, because then it catches non AFK players and annoys them.
