Seen this happen, sent a ticket, got a response that in there is no policy that states how a player decides to fill their role in the duty finder, and anyone is free to engage or not engage any enemy as they see fit.

I honestly cannot express in words the feeling of disgust I got after I read that response.
I had this response too when I encountered an AFKer in a dungeon and reported it. They did at least say that they would investigate, but the official stance on it was more or less exactly what you said.

It was clearly a conscious decision on S-E's part not to implement a kick functionality, which frankly speaking, is ridiculous. It's fine if they don't want to encourage bullying; I get that. But that official response clearly shows they don't care in the least about what would be legitimate uses of kick functionality either.
Looks like just another normal CM run to me.
Which is sad.
Problem is the guy has been standing there for tens of minutes, if you look at screen shot one and the screen shot underneath it, you'll see that the person has been standing there forever. So you're saying it isn't the players fault for standing there doing nothing for tens of minutes, when they could die, respawn and resume the encounter?
I've gotten the same response. In-action does not fall under griefing, no matter how outrageous the consequence.
This is what I think that happened tooThis what I think happened. The guy followed the original group into the encounter but just went afk standing there. They engaged her and died because of failing and/or having to 7 man the encounter. Because he was in the back he never added himself to the threat table, group wipes, encounter resets but since he was still in the area it never opened back up. Prick move for sure I can't wait till we have measures to deal with these horrible people.

Going afk in an instance? That sucks. SE should tag them with an AFKER>>> icon for 48 hours.
