"Patch Notes NW.1.20130416a.23

PvP

Players will now be removed from PvP for being AFK."

Is not Working. I did PvP from lvl 20 - 29 but everytime i got an invite to PvP Dominion there where 1 or 2 ppl standing in Base and just standing there. The PvP detecting System ist rly bad... PLS give us a Tool to kickvote those afk leechers ...

    I pvp several times a day on one of my three characters, two beings 60s and one being in the 20s. TBH I noticed the afk much less. For some reason I'm Party Leader more often then not and if someone doesn't move for 30sec-1min i'll asking Party Chat if they are afk, give then another 1min and if no response I will kick. In the last few days I have not had to do this. Everytime I pvp no one AFKs.

    My 5 man pvp group won a match 1000-34 last night because only one player from the other team was playing.

    I'm not sure it's the AFK bug. I play a lot of PVP, and there's another issue. It seems that I can be on a PVP team, but NOT ported to the PVP area. If you're fast enough, the team leader can kick the player and you can get another one, but it doesn't always work.

    It's happening way too much, although it makes for interesting combat. We had a 3 vs 3 yesterday, and we actually won a 4 vs 5 (although most of the time it's a beating).

    The problem is that they are often not afk, they just sit in the pvp arena and do not fight. Sometimes they move off the spawn point and hide somewhere, or spam chat. They do it to level quickly or for the daily AD quest basically.

    Yea well I can see endless spamming in the zone chat of people saying "CREATING GROUP FOR LOSING PVP!" people don't need to afk, they simply join pvp and just hang out until they lose for faster xp.

    Simple fix really, but it will never be done.
    No sense beating a dead horse.
    You make more ADs, more XP, more glory going AFK or just sitting in spawn than fighting. Kid of a no brainer as to why it is a problem.

    You can afk in pvp.
    So much so, sites like D2jsp, people actually post asking for to make afk groups still to level.
    http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=67461607&f=213 (see that post)
    The other thing, why am I never the leader of a pvp group? so I can kick afk players.
    Also, when I get 50% of the time the porting bug, so I don't teleport to the pvp zone, I can't leave unless the leader kicks me, which in most cases they don't, as they are afk leaching.
    I like pvp when it's working and people aren't just being afk to gain levels.
    Please please fix this, also ban those people in that link that are actively starting afk groups.

    If you don't get ported in, whether it's a dungeon or pvp map, you should be able to zone to another map then hit the return to instance button.
