Introduction of ban for AFK players consistently offending in ranked?

Has this ever been considered? The amount of AFK players are always high in ranked. Have they ever tried to consider a ban for constant AFK'ing? I understand that administrating this would take work (probably less work than the dev team use "reworking/improving" subs/cv) but the ranked numbers (player numbers, not afk players) are soooo much lower than the random game aren't they? 

 

(I am not talking about banning them from full play but simply banning them from ranked for X amount of time. That or firing them out of a circus cannon into the English channel from the white cliffs of Dover/relevant cliff,river,sea combo)

You can report them to the support for being afk. 

 

Sadly you t get the answer that you don't need to report afk players because wows have the best afk detection in the whole universe. 

 

Report them for game manipulation and they get sanctioned. At least most players I reported were some days offline after my report.

Wasn't there a thread about this a couple of days ago, and then it mysteriously disappeared? :Smile_amazed:

 

Anyway, I only recall 2 afk players from this Sprint over maybe 50 games, and at least one of them had technical issues with mods and the new patch. He loaded 2-3 minutes late, but he was there.

 

At least, this is my experience in Gold: maybe it's worse in Bronze/Silver...

I believe (based on my silver league run through that the bronze/silver may have more but that is conjecture on my part I must admit.

my most times are in ranked , its not that much to see afk players , actually it is rare ...

 

by afk how long afk do you mean ?

 

1 or 2 minutes ?

 

or the whole battle ?

 

i believe afk players get pink color , the second battle afk he got ban from playing in Randoms and ranked ... so it is ok i see ..

 

 

ranked sometimes take long time to matchmake , and unlike Randoms , you can notice afk faster due to fewer numbers ...

 

if 1 or 2 teammate afk , try to be kind with them , do not charge alone and die fast then blame them for being afk , afk is not good , but charging alone is not good also , play with your team :)

They do not care. There are many special players who have been reported several times for afking, suiciding etc. All they rake in is some secondary damage while being afk or they straightly drive into the enemies to grief the game for others. They are still around, WG does not care as long as they drop the occasional dollar:

i doubt why i dont see much of these guys

 

, you think he is suiciding , but in fact he did his best ,

you think is trying to get rewards for afk , in fact he has cv , game crash , or neighbor country attacking his home , whatever ...

 

stop making it more than what it is in real , so what if his WR was 20 or 10 ?

 

is your WR really lets you to insult low WR players ?

 

if your WR really high , i think it is not a problem for you to carry 1 noob player , right :) ?

How will you discern afk-ers who are doing it intentionally from those whose internet or power went out? Or the pc screen got black? Or the game crashed?

It takes too much time to report them via ticket support and there is too many AFKs..

So in other words; its time consuming.

 

And from what I've heard before, those players will keep coming back in battles which means that our tickets are rarely effective.

Wargaming LOVES those players. They cause collapses and get players back in the queue very quickly.  They also buy craploads of premiums. The devs will never do anything about them.

 

ADDED: As if on cue, right after I posted this, got in Ranked with a well known AFKer who just drove around -- in a Tirp of course. One of the other players knew him. He's been reported multiple times. WG of course did nothing. 

The devs hate the playerbase. It's really that simple, all you have to do is see how they treat us.

If enough report them ingame as afk they should go pink and if they get reported while afk they are forced to coop as far as i heard. But you only have so many reports a day

It doesnt work. Because WG does nothing, people dont bother reporting them. As WG wishes.

Our Incomparable yesterday: As the battle started he started abusing the short commands while kept sailing next to our cv, once he reached the map's border line kept sitting there and then went afk. He never used his guns once. His score was 1xp... We would have probably won had he actually tried to help.

 

He was pink (which apparently implies that it wasn't the first time he did in on purpose) yet there he was "playing" ranked..

Well, it is your fault for being afk in that battle. And basically guaranteeing the loss. If that was a bannable offense (from ranked), the game would be a better place.

 

Hopefully one day it will be.

I'm losing the hope talking with you , 

 

fault for what exactly can you explain ?

 

beside i said it was a win game , so how you can say it was guaranteed lose ?

 

isn't it so stupid to get killed at the start , while there is no red ship inside your main gun range ?

 

isn't stupid to waste your time against cv that can hit you and you cannot do anything ?

 

dodge not working , AA not working , if it is ok with you to waste your time with these kind of boring play , then sorry , my time so precious , I'm playing the game to have fun , if there is no fun in the battle , better to save the time and go to another .

 

the people saying the ranked is bad place for afk players , they are just searching for someone to blame for losing the battle ,

 

consider the afk guy a detonated guy at start , will that make it guaranteed lose ? then to go coop or to bronze league again ...

 

every one with a working eyes can see pink color on afk players , and that is a system to prevent afk in battles . only players with eyes can see that . blinds cant .

For griefing your own team.

Because you never did say that.

Isn't it stupid to see your teammates throw the game because they don't have a spine?

Well...if a team has an afk teammate, then they have the full right to blame him.

It's never a guaranteed loss, but it definitely makes it far more likely yes.

It really doesn't do much to disuade them does it?

i said it was a win battle in the same comment i said i left the battle , and it is a good reason to not get between 2 guys talking .

 

and like i said , afk players are so rare , in gold league at least ,

 

and i am not asking any further to do with afk players in gold ,

 

rare afk + most of them saying sorry , something was wrong in connection or machine or anything else , so its ok overall ...

 

 i dont know much about other leagues because i play them once every season , and fewer stars to collect , and fewer pro players to fight , so it is fine anyway ...

I went to check like 3 times....can you quote it because I cannot see it. Maybe I'm legally blind idk. If I am, I'll apologise. But even then, it's completely irrelevant. Going afk increases your team's chances of losing. Period. That makes it bad.

 

Edit: actually I think I get it. You said it in some like....third random thread nobody knows about. Nice one.
