AFK players remain a problem

I just finished playing 2 matches of ops.

There was one player who never played, but didn’t get kicked, because he had the jump and fire button on auto press mode. I will be reporting the player tomorrow.

    The only real time when AFK players are not annoying is when your team has more players. They should reduce the time before AFK players get picked, or maybe implement a system where if a player does the same thing for too long, like stand there and shoot but not move, they will get kicked as well. Don’t know how this would work though.

  • At least Ops is easy. 🙌

    Seriously though, I have seen AFK players around the place, but not too often. I find that in modes such as Battle Arena, this really is not helpful as you are much more likely to lose, but in modes like Turf Takeover and Ops, it does not matter as much. Still, very annoying.

    I remember those players in GW2 that used to AFK in the Mystery Portal so they could get free Rainbow Stars. Now, that was just cheesy, or scummy. You tell me.

    @TheSprinter85 Such a system would have prevented me for being a bit mad yesterday. We managed to win the first match, but lost the second one. The AFK guy was playing as Nightcap and the other player and I were playing as Sunflowers. All enemies spawned at once, so we had no chance of winning (mechs, scientists, heal zombie ai).

    @benn1nat0r I think some people AFK because they want to try and gain rewards for free, if they are really desperate to do that, they should just do it in PvE or Private Play modes.
  • Well to solve the problem AFKs could introduce the vote kicking system from gw2 would be introduced in multiplayer ops and in battle arena (when it returns) So that so players can kick out the AFKs would be a good idea right?
