Rise in AFK players in Feast

Does anyone feel like there's a rise in players just AFKing in Feast? Like half my games today have someone AFK in the spawn area. Not sure how they're not getting kicked.

Are you afk?
*unable to use chat*

so no idea

I met few whm healed about 200k in 8min in 8v8, ran around or just stood there

Don't know if they're new or afk

I've heard cases of players botting in Frontlines as well. This is pretty despicable.

Just like with PvE content, if you're not going to actually play when you queue up, please just don't queue.

You cant really kick people in feast. First the system tell you that you need to wait for 5min after duty commence, given that the match even lasts that long, youre whole team has to be out of fight aswell and I believe this cant even happen practically (even if you respawn you are considered "infight").

So it is a perfect way to queue and just go afk(press a button every 2min? if that is even needed ) to get your weekly cap, you get the tomestones with lose and with win anyway.

On top of this, the 235 Garo Gear is a good way for new classes to gear up when they hit 60. Which needs wolf marks, which means people will just want to come in and AFK so they can get free wolf marks to gear up their new class. :/

There's a useful feature of the game that allows you to report the player for harassment, even after the match. Use it every time you see an AFK player in PVP. It is classed as an offence & they do take action provided you tell them that your experience was seriously affected by the other player.

The best way for SE to prevent this is to take away the Wolf mark and Tome reward for losing. Why are they getting the full tome reward for losing anyway? And by simply making the team lose, you could get more marks with 250 a loss every 2min than 500 every 8.

Makes it very difficult to any wins.

I've reported quite a lot of "no damage done, no heals made, huge damage taken & multiple death" people lately in Frontlines. They all use auto-run or software to appear active do they don't get the AFK auto-kick. I usually only do one FL a day for the bonus & when I'm reporting every other day it shows it's not a 'negligible number' as many claim.

Luckily it's rarer in Feast but I have still seen people use it although it can be a bit more difficult to see. In FL it's not uncommon for someone to get stuck on the rock of a certain spawn point & spend several minutes just running at it. -_-
