Can we please increase the AFK timeout value just a bit for AV only? I agree 5 minutes is fine for WSG and AB, but with some AV matches running 4 to 7 hours, 5 minutes is a little too low when you need to have a bio break. It sucks to get the 15 minute penalty plus wait another 10+ minutes to get back in AV. Even if it's not the full 10 minutes, 8 minutes would be nice for the occasional potty break.

The time to set the AFK flag on a player is a global value. Reworking it only for AV doesn't seem plausible and it can still be dodged since people use third party programs (and hardware) to reset the idle time. This just allows more room for error on detecting who is truly AFK honor/rep farming inside a BG too.
A literal suggestion to you that I have taken into effect for raids since retail release of ZG: time your break. If you go over X minutes, stop pissing, shitting, fapping, etc and resume playing. Splitting up how much you piss is extremely hard and a very enduring test while you're drinking heavily.
