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

[Anicucu]

well maybe this wont help much but why not just update palace to 70 so we level using it?

I continue to see 5+ players including healers just sitting at spawn the entire game with less than 10,000 damage or healing done.

If they're sitting AFK vote kick them, or encourage other groups to vote kick them.

What I'd personally like to see is the drastic reduction of XP gained for coming in 2nd or 3rd for Frontlines. Right now people are going full on retard, either not doing objects, afk'ing, or throwing games because the XP they earn is the same for all placements.

If SE changed this, or even removed XP then I'd think we'd see less of these shenanigans.

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.

Or, you know, instead of allowing AFK players to receive any experience, address the root of the issue and don't allow them to receive anything if they don't actually contribute.

What if you were able to purchase experiences scrolls/points with wolf mark ? giving amount of marks depending on your total score ? (with a x1.1~1.2 bonus for having honor, so it would contribute ppl of doing great work, changing how honor work in there and be able to give more than one)

And so, you can totally disable the exp bonus.
