Please ban active participants in GAC, from GAC! They make it harder for me to make it to Kyber, and I don't like that they play the game that way.

They're not active if they AFK auto-deploy. The only active thing they do is selfishly press the "join" button, and then forget it exists for a week. It's the definition of passive...

And yes, it's the job of game developers to consider, plan and balance for players committing toxic behaviour like the auto-deployers. It's a flaw in the game's design, hence why I'm posting in the feedback forum.

Typically you plan development around preventing toxic behaviour - although this auto-deployer issue is something that has only grown more recently as people seem to become apathetic towards GAC, especially with the recent frequent 3v3 seasons. They can get away with it, so it's the responsibility of the developers to ensure their game is played as intended (*active* participation).

But hey, if you join and let your account auto-deploy for the #8 rewards, I guess this thread would scare you.

Also if you've played for 5 years and spend money on the game, I doubt it's much of an issue for your wide roster of high relics. Good for you.

That does not mean CG shouldn't take action.
Nor just it justify apathy towards your fellow players for whom it's a problem.

Also I'm rather surprised that people in these forums don't care about the player experience.

If the players want to take part in GAC, they should actually take part in GAC. Auto-deploying is not taking part, no one with any common sense or severity will argue that.

*woooosh*

I was talking about actual active players, not auto-deployers. But now that I've had to explain that, it is no longer as entertaining to me, which makes me a little sad.

But for real-I don't understand why you're trying to police other players actions, or how they engage with the game, especially when they're pretty much giving you a guaranteed win. If more and more people are growing apathetic towards the game mode, maybe ask CG to make the mode more entertaining and engaging for the playerbase, so people actually enjoy playing it? Or maybe asking them to up the rewards so it seems worth the effort for the vast majority of the playerbase? Or some of the more player friendly solutions that have been proposed that would make an auto-deploy defense work differently? Seems better than asking to ban people who play the game in a way you don't like.

But hey, you do you.
