DEV REQUEST: How To Prevent AFK Players And Bots In Frontlines

[Chilla]

Reduction of experience based on placement honestly would do more harm than good. People would still AFK regardless and end up on the winning team.

Even as a premade of 8 people in 72-mans there are times when you simply can't carry your team to victory.

I don't agree that it would do more harm than good. If you have multiple players AFK across all teams in your faction the chance of your faction pulling through a 1st place victory are much lower; so I think it would be rarer for those AFK players to end up on the winning team. It's hard to pull a win with half the team when you're fighting a faction will all their members actively participating.

If they nerf the XP gained to 2nd/3rd place then it's more likely those players who are AFK'ing or throwing games currently (because XP is equal for all levels) will participate; or better yet, stop queuing entirely.
