So maybe PvP is not the focus of this game, but players that refuse to participate while in a group also plague PvE dungeons and skirmishes. I had a Control Wizard in a recent run that refused to attack anything. The player was not AFK, yet would refuse to talk in chat or attack anything.
Maybe OP was too hot headed and went off on a rant about PvP, but this problem can occur in PvE as well and needs to be addressed. The free to play model is great but has downsides, one being that any troll can create an account for the sole purpose of ruining other players experiences with no real punishment. For example, League of Legends has trouble with "toxic" players creating "smurph" accounts that are used to troll other players. Without some type of punishment for ruining people's experience in game, look out for trolls in matchmaking.

The group leader can kick, but when you are going up against another team of premade afkers there is nothing you can do.
