PvP AFK

[Kae_Berry]

This is getting ridiculous. In Frontline, people are just putting their characters on auto follow so they move but they don't actually have to be there. Now that pvp actually gives more exp based on wins, it sucks that there is nothing to combat this and we just end up losing because half the people are afk. We only get one boot per four hours, so we don't have enough to get rid of people doing this, and people can't vote to kick when half the people are not even there.

Remove EXP all together from PvP and watch em drop out or lower the EXP so much that it is no longer worth using as a leveling method.

I haven't played Frontlines in a couple of days. Is this a brand new thing that more people are AFK than playing? Because I'm also on Aether, and a few days ago we were getting maybe 1 out of 24 players per match that were AFK.

Just mark the AFK/Botting players and report them to GM.

Since 4.0 came out, a vast amount of people have only been playing PvP for easy XP (Im one of them but I actually tried to win). While I agree this is a problem, removing XP gain would mean PvP would become a wasteland with very few players and once everyone eventually gets their glamours, it would be completely dead.

What others have suggested, and I think it is the best solution, is to give the amount of xp for the amount of effort you put in. So the afk'rs will receive 0 xp, while the people who are actually trying their hardest to win the match will get the regular amount of xp. Then it will give the afk's no incentive to que up when they are getting nothing for experience.

I haven't seen any that have done that, and when I go into PVP I actually try and win. And sometimes promptly see a 200 point lead go down the drain because people(actually playing because I'm right near them) don't pull back from engaging the enemy and not lose the teams points.

Change gear to to prevent it, then vote them off. I do it all the time and black list them. GM won't do anything.

It just got really bad. I was in one as freelance and there were 16 people afk. We literally couldn't kick them because we couldn't get the votes since they were afk

[Kae_Berry]

I think that is a good idea. I play because I enjoy it, but getting destroyed because half the people aren't playing is miserable
