The level of obtuseness in this post is staggering.
I afk bg’s because I don’t play losing games with losers. Simples. I am under no obligation to waste my time carrying Jimmy Nu120, because he thinks it’s acceptable to queue for casual pvp in ilvl 370. I am under no obligation to help bots farm honour. I am under no obligation to do the work of 5 players because half my team are herp-derp kill farming while horde complete objectives, scratching their heads wondering wtf the other side are doing. I am under no obligation to lead entire teams by the hand and tell them what to do (tried that, no-one listens) when there’s gazillions of videos online that show you how to play. I am under no obligation to sacrifice my time (and money) to engage in an activity that is providing no benefit for me, because it might hurt someone’s feelz.
Imho, the deserter debuff needs to go, not become more punitive and as for your suggestion that this should affect folks ability to engage in PvE content…I have no words.
I suggest you suck less and play better, because you’ll find shock horror that people don’t leave good games. This is clearly a, “L2PLAY” issue.
