Jelzouki.4128 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I just don't understand how I'm able to join a match where somebody can go idle within 30 seconds of the match beginning. No wait, it gets better. TWO other people on my team recognized this player for being notorious for going afk. What is being done? Does reporting help? How can we be sure that reports are working? What is going on? You know how I know that reports do nothing? The report window says "Abuse of the report feature may lead to the termination of your account". A friend of mine has abused this feature countless times. No termination, ever. The point that I'm making is who the hell is even reading these reports and doing something about it? Get AI on the job at least and then a human to filter it out, if resources are the issue. This is ridiculous. Let's see another social media post or stream where the people working on this game are so enthusiastic and claim to love it. Yeah? Well then tell somebody on your team that they need to do better at their kitten job. 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnfall.9573 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Here is one of the most underrated thread that I believe is 'the magic bullet' against Afk.

If we stop talking about it, there is a 100% chance nothing will be done. how about 11 years+ of nothing being done? As I typing this, were are watching a live twich PvP match with 4 afk players. Throughout the years including present, whenver I ask Afk players, why do they afk; do you know what answer I always get?? "PvP is a game mode that rewards cheating, exploits, botting and wintrading. Whether we Afk or not, what make us any different? We all get the same reward with no effort" "Stop putting effort into those who show no effort towards you. There's only so much you can do before you're wasting your energy and time" Many of those Afk players once cared about PvP. Throughout the years, they have put so much time and effort, voicing their concerns on the forum, via Social Media outlets, via sending vast amount of endless Evidence and Proof of Game Breaking Toxic Game Design Features including Exploits, Cheats, Wintrading and Toxic Bad Design Professions.....to see it all being ignored...wasted away/ I do not agree with Afk but there comes a time; as human being with having a heart, soul, caring and empathy being pushed to its limits...when we know when our Concerns, Efforts, Feelings, Time, Appreciated, Trust and Loyalty, are Constantly and Continually being Ignored, Wasted and being Taken For Granted. "Whatever Is Taken for Granted Will Eventually Be Taken Away" "All the time you’ve wasted on them, you could’ve spent with someone who wants you right now, instead of allowing someone to save you for later like a piece of chocolate cake... People that want you right now, will make the changes right now! They won’t make excuses, they won’t stay stuck in their ways, they won’t say, ”I am the way I am,” etc. They will make moves expeditiously because they don’t want to lose you. Know your worth and move accordingly." Edited December 18, 2023 by Burnfall.9573 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simple strategy; everyone will vote to kick the Afk player. The Afk player will be giving Captcha to re-enter. If failed, then swift actions will be taken against the player A solution would be, give Afk a temporary suspension via a timer. ' example; 1+ hour temporary supspension to severe consequences from playing PvP I also want to add; there are multitiude Captcha Block Detectors with a more advance version Re-Captcha Edited December 18, 2023 by Burnfall.9573 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
