afkers

[toskosa]

No I don't mean ppl who /afk out of games I mean ppl just being afk all in game in base from the get go. been queing into a lot of f2p's that just sit afk in base all game until they get flagged for afk. Like just sitting there in shadowmeld as the enemy team takes our flag and runs out of base.

Has this been happening to anyone else recently? What is there to gain from this? Its not like you can buy gear with honour or anything? so whats there to leech? kind of annoying being down a player though all game.

Don't want to give good ideas which may be tempting but because you asked: maybe to buy gems, PvP transmogs, mounts with marks of honor?

It could be people farming cheesements too.
I qued into a pre made AB other day where horde was tryin to get perfect win. They ran alliance toons to flags but was never a cap. Then things all started cappin horde with alliance players standing next to flag.
Was alot of fun to ruin there plans.
Wat im sayin is they could q afk toons into opesite team to make there win ezyer.

But like if we are down a player our chances of winning go down? so realistically his/her chances of getting marks goes down? I am super confused about this and its happened alot this week lol.

I heard of people desperate from solo queueing into premades all the time doing this: queue solo on both factions simultaneously, sync bg enter, then if it worked and you entered the same bg choose the side that looks stronger and leave the character on the other side afk.

But in general I think the majority of afkers are just people who went to a bathroom or whatever.

A 20 minute + bathroom break, shoulda just afk'd out from the start so we could get a 10th.
