Horde losing on purpose in ab

by gankmeister » Tue May 19, 2015 11:01 pm

is it ok that ppl in ab just let alliance win without even fighting back?

Just joined an ab, and because we were against premade half of the horde players just ran to the water on the right from spawn, and afked until we lost...

This is from when we were pushed back to spawn, and camped there. The guys in the water were there from the start and just afk basicly:

Is this behavior ok?

Against premades, people go to hidden places just to don't let the opposite team farm HK, as they go camp the graveyard. Also, a random group against a premade has remote chances to win, for well know reasons. I do not see problem with it. Failure is inevitable, so why delay?

This is not an excuse. You have joined the BG to play and maybe win.
Because you are afraid that you will lose the game, that does not give you the right to make it a nightmare for your team mates.
BG, in this example AB is a 15 players game. Even if you lose, you will still learn something about the game, the PvP and how you should behave.

From my point of view, people going afk for the reason "not to be killed", is considered lack of respect towards other players. You don't like it, leave and join another BG (I do not care about the 30 min Desertor debuff)

If someone will feel offended by the statement above, than I am sorry for him, but the game is a team game, not single player game.
For single players there is World PvP.


Anyway, coming back to your "question" no action will be submitted against those players. it is just un-ethical but GM and Staff team cannot do anything about it.

You have the right to do anything you please apart from AFK, I can dance on the flag while the enemy caps it if I so choose. In fact you are wrong in every way shape and form by definition it would be unethical for you to do anything when vsing a premade with a pug.

Greetings.

AFK in BG's are not allowed according to the ToU.
If you see any player going AFK within the BG, take a screen shot and report the player.
Best Regards
GM. Team
