Something needs to be done about AFK's ASAP. I am losing patience with this game very fast. I spent about 3 hours today playing. Every fight had an AFK.
There are not that many emergencies in the world. Or oddly enough emergencies for people who just happen to be playing this game.
Yes I know stuff happens, bad connections, slow comps etc... But it is not fair to the people who have to take a lose and time wait for their problems.
I am going to give this game until the end of the week. If afk's keep up the way they are now I am done. I can have a better time doing many other things that arent related to having someone screw people over, because they are losing or just want to be jerks.
There have been plenty of reasonable suggestions on how to fix AFks or penalize them, something needs to be done asap. |
| Do something else while you play this game. It slows down the battles even more but its the only way you can cope with this. |

| Doing something else while playing the game is what causes most AFKs in the first place. I'm with the original poster. Harsher penalties are definitely needed. -2 Luck isn't really much of a deterrent. It just means the next team the player is on now has to deal with someone who goes AFK _and_ has bad luck. |
Do what I do. I got a little notebook and if I get into combat where someone goes afk on either side I write the name down.
If I see that name again in group battle I now know there is a possibility that they could go afk. If I get 3 ticks next to a name I know never to join a battle with them. |

Publish your notebook, I hate AFKers as well |
i was tempted to start a new thread, because this idea has just occured to me, and i havent read it before...
it is easy to implement. not unfair at all. and perhaps a very strong initial tool in the anti AFK war.
in a player's profile, it keeps track of their AFKs automatically. each time they AFK, their AFK number goes up...
this should be split into
"EVER"
and
"IN THE LAST MONTH"
thus if someone was bad a long time ago, but have been good for a few weeks, they arent held to account for actions which may well have little bearing on their current ASK nature.
so easy, so useful. maybe not a standalone tool, but certainly worthy of note. |

That's been suggested. However, given the amount of ideas that have led to actual changes, I suspect the suggestion forum is designed simply to keep people busy while traversing the map. |

lol xD
But your right, few ideas are ever implemented. My idea is to implement the good ideas. |
