Battleground AFK'ers to be Banned

In our continued efforts to support fair gameplay in World of Warcraft and to provide a positive experience for players, we are currently taking steps to ensure fair and enjoyable competition in the Battlegrounds. Starting immediately, we will be issuing warnings and penalties, including suspensions and the removal of Honor points and recently acquired Honor rewards, for non-participation in Battleground games.

We are taking action against thousands of accounts immediately, and will continue to monitor these situations and regularly take action against violators. If you encounter a player in a Battleground who is intentionally not participating in the battle for an extended period of time, please help us track the situation and report the player as AFK. For information on how to complete an in-game AFK report, please go here: (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/battlegrounds/info.html). All reports will be thoroughly investigated, and corrective action will only be taken if the violation is confirmed.

A Deeper Analysis on AFK'ers

Here's a very interesting analysis on AFK'ers and reporting them, much more deeper than normal, what do you think:

AFKers have a set amount of honor they are looking to gather. Once they hit that number they will stop, because what's the point of farming honor beyond that. So by reporting them you are ensuring more AFKers in your games. Instead of them completing their honor grind in 500 games, it takes them 750 because they were idled 250 times. Now imagine this on a widescale and you'll see the amount of AFKers per game scale up with the amount of people you idle per game.

Blizz too Soft on AFK'ers?

Do you think Blizzard is too soft on AFK'ers? I have to admit it's pretty easy to do! Well a lot of people have some suggestions on how we can better take care of them in the BGs.

The Worst Reason for Going AFK?

What's the worst reason you've ever heard for someone going AFK? By worst I don't mean the most BS, I mean the worst... eg:

Was in the middle of clearin Kara trash when i had to AFK pretty quickly when the California Bay Area got hit with a 5.6 earthquake last night. I think it was the biggest one we've had in quite a few years. My guild thought it was frickin hilarious.

How Many Votes to Get the AV Debuff?

How many people reporting a player that as AFK'ed in AV will it take to get them a debuff? No one knows...

It does not require 30 people to trigger the AFK buff... I don't know where people are getting this idea.
