Battle starts, and 1-2 players don't move entire game, making others playing experience uncool. Please do something about it like you did with team killing.

Battle starts, and 1-2 players don't move entire game, making others playing experience uncool. Please do something about it like you did with team killing. Thanks and cheers! Good idea, lets punish everyone who gets disconnected and can't login in time! And while we are at it lets fix another issue: one guy being afk is annoying, but having several guys with a WR below 40% and average damage below 40k is much worse, as they tend to not play very well and make the playing experience very uncool. Lets punish them too! You see where this is going? ^^ It is very rare that there is more than one AFK during a game, and while a bit annoying, it's not the end of the world. And not everyone who is afk does it on purpose, and unless WG implemets an feature* that can distinguish between someone who is afk due to technical reasons and one that is afk on purpose, lets not ask for punishment. *let me take a look at the feature that counts team blues progress during server downtime...lol, yeah 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #4 Posted April 20, 2017 About once a month at around midnight my ISP disconnects me. It can't be predicted and sometimes it won't happen for months. It comes back pretty quickly but I've died in the downtime on occasion. The 0 score AFK players get is enough...

WieczoremZubr Players 31 posts 176 battles Report post #5 Posted April 20, 2017 What if there computer crashed, or other family life intervened??, it is annoying at times, but it is only a game after all. Ofc this can happen, but I doubt that many computers crash to witness someone afking every 2 games (i play mostly at night). I don't know for sure, but I suppose you gain some experience after match even if you don't do nothing (never tried, correct me if im wrong) so some smart-asses log in one ship to battle, leave, and play other battle with other ship, or do the same. They watch movie or something and farm experience (i know it's probably extremely low amount). So the quick way would be to gain 0 exp if you dont move/click/move mouse in certain amount of time, or if it works that way already some kind of penalization (minus to ship exp, I dont know). This is extremely frustrating, as it is a team game, and 1 or sometimes 2 players afking is insta lose to one team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not talking about any perma ban or something drastic. I think even minor punishment like let's say 2000 exp minus is enough. Thing is with 0 punishment players don't feel any consequences for leaving the game and they do it. This sort of consequences wouldn't be too drastic to punish you for disconnecting once for a while, but would make guys who are afking often think twice. Thats what im saying.

Aside from the heafty repair bill, Went through a period a few months ago where the client would randomly freeze up on me on the game loading screen, restarting the client would not let me log in again, and the only way to fix was a full reboot, Meant for reasons beyond my control one or two battles a day I would be AFK and likely killed before I could get back in, Hardly fair to punish someone further for wargamings crappy software, just like it's harsh to punish someone for their kid coming into the room crying or the doorbell going unexpectedly or any one of a hundred other real life scenario's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, you'd be punishing all players even those who have technical issues. You played like 60 games overall, so i doubt you have encountered that many afk'ers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This kind of arguments are nonsense. Afk/dc penalization is a common thing in games. Play some 1 on 1 game like starcraft. You think someone cares about your guests ? You can pause the game, but you can't go off your keyboard with no consequences because you decided you don't want to play anymore after logging in. And the same with connection lost. It is far more liberal here as you can go back to the game after being disconnected, so I don't see a problem. And if you are being disconnected every 2 games, or kid is constantly disturbing you the way you can't play, maybe you should don't play, or make a break ? Such arguments are dumb. Solution which i proposed would be unnoticeable if you afk once for a time. It would really concern only perma afkers, which do it on purpose, or they don't care about other players so what are you talking about.

WieczoremZubr Players 31 posts 176 battles Report post #12 Posted April 20, 2017 Again, you'd be punishing all players even those who have technical issues. You played like 60 games overall, so i doubt you have encountered that many afk'ers. I have other account with much more games. And yes, I encountered many afkers even on this account, and lost quite a few battles only because it was 12 vs 10, but it is not important information for this topic, so don't bring such nonconstructive insinuations.

[MPT] AkosJaccik Players 920 posts 11,177 battles Report post #17 Posted April 20, 2017 I agree, let's start punishing people playing a non-competitive gamemode in a free to play game even more, but I wouldn't say that only AFK-ers should be the target. Generally, people who don't put enough effort in should get "negative 2000 xp". Why discriminate between the reasons for hurting other people's gameplay experience, right? As there are no excuses for being AFK, so shouldn't be for not pulling the weight. Let's say, anyone who is not dishing out an avg. of 30k dmg in a Kaiser should be bombed back to the Hermelin, no?
