    I sincerely hope SE is punishing afkers

    who try to get kicked to avoid the abandon penalty, because the whole 'no punishment' deal is only encouraging this sort of behaviour.

    I think you're using "ban" the wrong way...

    How do you intend to prove that's what they did? How do you intend to do so without a shadow of a doubt considering you're asking for the harshest of punishment? I understand your frustrated, but this would not be a solution.

    Suspended, then. I don't care, I'm tired of seeing people troll or afk until they get their way because there's no punishment.

    I see this sort of garbage daily. Must be just my data center or something.
    And yes, he did afk. We let him sit there for 5 minutes before kicking him and then finally abandoning.

    Then report them for griefing. Seems like a simple solution.

    The duty finder / roulette shouldn't be designed after the Russian roulette: IE get Pharos Sirus and get a 30min penalty bullet to the head. People shouldn't be forced to play with you if they don't want to.

    If you were at the casino and put a $50 bet on 35red and lost, then decided to go play poker instead would you want the floor boss take away your remaining chips for a 30min timeout?

    there would be a lot less trolling & stress in this game if people could just leave when they wanted to without a penalty. think of it this way: if someone doesn't want to be on that board/fight then they are not going to perform to their best. better to let them go and get someone who will give it their attention. This player base is not altruistic, they will not eat a 30min penalty if they can get out via other ways, and worse if they stay but don't pay attention.

    if everyone keeps leaving the same dungeon, then maybe its the pt or dungeon, otherwise you will get a rep who wants to be there.

    IMHO. If they don't want to do it, don't que... So yes, there should be a punishment for afk (If you don't move for 2 mins in a dungeon...). Give them a reduced % of getting drops and/or reduced experience/Allg stones if they trigger afk. I would like to say just let the community take care of itself but it seems the number of inconsiderate a-holes is on the rise. Let's face it, if the problem gets too out of hand, who would want to que at all?

    Or let party vote to KEEP YOU. (I know shocker) If you trip the AFK they can give a lil vote (would only need to be 1 party member) to keep you and reset your AFK timer. This would alleviate the multi-party members going afk at same time. IF they are griefing party (so no vote to keep) and go afk, would be tagged with same as abandonment. Just an idea...

    I believe back before they implemented vote to kick, they stated that afking was okay.
