I know this is a Recurring Topic but it needs to be dealt with
Blizzard should add a Default mechanic making so people who stand afk for 5 min in 1 area Gets No honor DeBuff or a 60-120 min Deserter Buff so they can not que again for a while so they maybe learn to participate
Especially BGs like AV where 20-30 people rush towards the Enemy boss and stands afk outside til its either time to kill or opponent’s wins making it hard or no fun for the remaing 10-15 people trying to play the objectives
They are Basically ruining the Team and Experience of a 40 man BG or any size at that.
I played the entire weekend and 70% of the lost BGs were due to either most people beeing AFK or not participating when facing the Russian servers
Sometimes id wish Blizz opened Ingame service shop so people could faction change. If even go as far as paying 5000€ just to swap faction or copy my classic character to a Russian Server so i could enjoy the Battlegrounds more then what it is currently
Thank you for reading my little Rant but this is just what my POV is, there is probably more of you out there that share the same opinion
So i’m stealthed on my druid by a tower waiting patiently to stop any Ninja cappping and get flagged for AFK and get a 60 min deserter buff. Seems legit. Fool.
spoken like somebody who never actually bothers with objectives in AV and just midfarms like a nincompoop. You want all the players actually defending objectives to get flagged if they don’t get attacked? what a moronic take.
Can’t blame anyone for that aspect. It’s not fun facing teams, that are almost full premade, and don’t cap gyards to farm HKs. This issue exists for years now, and it’s still on the bottom of blizzards priority list seemingly
“Afking” in enemy base would otherwise be fine, but 99% of those people decide to stand on the GY flag at enemy base. Instead of protecting the towers. Oh how many times we have lost enemy base towers due to nobody protecting them (or just 1 player), while 10+ people afk at GY flag.
Go. To. The. Towers.
Outside of that, most people rushing enemy base is imo okay, but they should do something useful there rather than afk at boss room door or flag. Many games have also been lost due to simply not having enough people at enemy base when 2 towers go down. So we do need these zerger-afkers after all, but they should step up their game.
Lets face it, we need some people to take care of such problems. Not automatic system, but a human who would take it as a job. We can call him Game Administrator. But after creating new and wonderful group finder from scratch, I am afraid there are no gold left in the budget.
Nah, just kidding. They dont care. Sad state of wow, becoming some kind of anarchocapitalistic mish-mash, land without law, unless few players just want your head
lol. When did i say all players ? oh that’s right i didn’t. Crazy of me to think it, but a few stealthers protecting key towers can turn the tide. I’ve played more AV than you in Wotlk, i’ve won more AV matches than you in Wotlk and i don’t even have to check, i’m that confident. I’ve been on Bloodscalp since day one, child. One of the first 1000 ppl on wow.
Back in the day i used to call out for classes to defend towers, four players in that small room at top of the tower can defend against 10 all day long, as the space is minimal they get slaughtered in 1 n’ 2s as they come in line of sight.
i fully intend to do the same again and farm allies. Simple tactics and gear wins, premade or not. I’d say right now with the state of AV and influx of fresh 70s, one Brutal 5 man could wipe the entire 40 man raid of mainly made last week Dks and Palas
Guess your reading is Below average… there is a Diffrence between Beein Afk and standing and protecting Objectives. u Know
Objetive: Tower or Flag
While not beeing on any objective just standing there waiting for all “Towers/flags” to be capped and still stand there while everyone else goes to kill Boss
Agreed.
If you’re playing the objectives in the BG that last many minutes before they’re successfully destroyed you deserve a ban.
Play the BG the way Blizzard intended? That’s a ban. Even according to Blizzard themselves.
The logic here is flawless.
90% of People rushing Enemy base is Useless, there should at all times be minimum 6-7 people at Each Tower and some to Defend to of our own towers at all times that is how you are supposed to Win AV to get 1000 honor per win
I’m sure you did sunshine. I played vanilla beta back in 2004, but sure, go off. Hyper cringe response. I didn’t even respond to you, so i’m not sure why you’re even falling out like this. Imagine calling somebody “child” in 2022.
