    Scores on Frontline

    Yoshida explained why we can't look Frontline's scores without waiting for this to finish?


    It really is tiring trying to kick people who are dying AFK to let other teams win without having the data to support these kick. In Wow I can look the BG scores whenever you want.

    AFK player is quite obvious one, so I don't think ppl will vote against it?

    If they're fully AFK, wouldn't it be all zeroes? You're invincible while in the base camp. Though I've never hung around in there to see if you lose it eventually.

    It is the damage taken category where the numbers are, so that guy is either a bot or just on a sightseeing tour for his screenshot collection.
    Either way just kick for griefing, only dumb thing is that you have to wait for 5min until you can do.

    can't be fully afk in pvp for the whole match. afk timer is only 2 minutes in pvp. they're just extremely lucky they didn't get vote kicked.

    base camp invincibility is permanent.

    The problem isn't so much that they're afk (necessarily), but that they're likely a bot that's either programmed to run around the map on their mount- or intentionally trying to lose quicker and evade the afk auto-kick by being a drain on their team or giving the enemy teams a source of Battle High.

    It can be difficult to notice sometimes, but if you do see someone with unusual behavior like repeatedly running to the enemy territory alone and dying at a abnormally quick rate between respawns, chances are this is what they're doing. It's not always a bot, but more akin to someone intentionally letting themselves be killed as if they've given up and want the match to end sooner. I've called-out a few people for this behavior before, and they usually make a lame excuse and start acting like they're contributing. Unfortunately, vote kicking isn't always a solution, because the majority of your party may be apathetic, and at that point- what can you do?

    Let me ask you this. For 30 days in a row, in Frontline, I've lost every match due to the new exploit that Pre-Made teams are using. So, since the pick up group team is always going to lose, then why should they try? Does the pre-made team even care if the other teams try? Isn't the point that they want an easy, challenge free victory. Isn't that specifically why they are choosing to do the things that they do? What does it matter. I'm happy to play hard if I have a chance, but if there's no chance, why bother?

    No idea, but it's something to do with Premades finding a way to all get on the same team despite the duty finder. No clue what they are doing, but they certainly are. It's become impossible for the pick up teams to win lately.
