Hi,
I don't know whats going on but its getting to the point were almost every match I'm in has somebody going afk. It's really annoying because it looks like most of the time we would have won the match. I'm not even sure if anything can be done about it, but it's really irritating.

that is why that quest should be removed or reworked
You are just unlucky to have that much of a problem. I only see afk people once the match is over and we all know we cant win (which is fine to me). I dont see this problem in the light you are painting this picture.
Domination -match, queue + match normally takes hour or you get roflstomped, so there is no meaning to play them any more, "win or lose" -situation... is it worth for 1hour(for me it is not so I do GG for fun)?
REmoving -quest as DOM, well I think there is better way to kill players interest to dominantion and pvp.
Reworking queue -system and rewards will make difference also fixing attitude against newcomers helps too,
ps. Domination/PvP -problem is that there is not enough players for them...
Last night I queued for 8 matches in GG. Before each of those matches I waited a minimum of 20 minutes and a maximum of 45. Once I got there I lost each and every match. Each of those matches took 20 to 25 minutes. Each of those contained at least 2 premades. Not one of those matches had people going AFK... though I have experienced a HAMSTER ton of quitters.
I used GG to get the gear for my TR and my GF.
It is not the same experience NOW. Now... since people have abandoned Dom due to the incredibly long queue times and extreme matches... over an hour or under 5 minutes in just game time. Now PvP guilds are using it instead of Dom.
The solution that a few of us have come up with is the OfficialPuGPvP channel... as of now we have 15 members (in only 3 days time). It was created to alleviate the painful process of learning how to PvP, getting gear and balancing matches. Send me a PM if you anyone interested
Thanks for the PuG Plug... though I am not sure if you are serious. Any press is good press.
When folks stop AFKing
It is rude
It is not that hard to play
People win, People lose
AFK is a statement on the AFKer
I understand when the score hits 900+ for Domination but before that... go out and try

Please keep the pee out of PvE and PvP. Use the bathroom beforehand, not AFK.

The only way to fix this problem is to remove the AD daily quest for pvp. Many pve players who could CARE LESS about pvping want the easy AD. They don't have ANY desire to pvp but they do want that AD and so they go afk cause it is easier to stomach then being someones bi*tch...
You see this is a pve vs pvp issue as most people who pvp and like to pvp never go afk unless the other teams just rolls them (which I will even go afk if there is no way to win)..
However you take that AD out of pvp, pvp ques will go sky high at least now they are tolerable, you make sure the pve fanbase don't pvp and you will be waiting for 30+ minutes to do 1 pvp match.
Set a timer
after 1or 2 min afk auto kick
Then they get nothing

Again, my suggestion is to give awards based on the MEDIAN score, not the best score. Require matches to be competitive or else no one gets anything at all. If your team wins by more than 50%, none of the stats you earned count, for example, because the match wasn't competitive. Only competitive matches earn anyone any rewards (dailies included).

This wont do a thing, bc they get kicked after some time AFK, as it is. They are not AFK as in 'away from the keyboard', but just doing something else and not fighting.
We would need:
1. Better matchmaking (not happening with the low number of players)
2. Seperated ques for PuG and premade (not likely).
3. A reasonable way for low IL players to get a fighting chance against BIS ppl, like 3k+ IL (not likely).
4. A kick from the base after 1 min or a surrender option (not likely).
I once had a AFK GWF in my team, spending his time insulting our teammates and me. The omly time I applauded the abuse of the kick bug.
If the game is lost, I write 'GG' and stop fighting. Most of the times fighting 3k+ IL semi-/premades with 1.xk IL players without PvP gear. I sometimes wonder if they get the irony, when they run with 4 ppl to the home node and tell someone who farmed full PvP gear with their PvE low IL chars 'to put in some effort' or complain with 1k PvE chars about 'overgeared PTW 2k+ players'.
My suggestion may be simplistic but something should be done.
A agree with your first two points... not sure about the others
Still I believe the first 2 will make a big diff
In the end it is about people
There is no reason to stand around unless all or most agree it is the right thing to do
Good luck with that. YOU cant ban a fleck of dust. PW does not like ppl to discuss their moderating decisions, but lets say it that way.
I have been insulted by players in a way, that they flagged my ticket bc of the quoted language. I have asked bug users to stop it, warned them reported them, reported bots etc. Guess what happened.
I formed hundreds of dwarf king GREED runs. I searched asking for GREED run. I told ppl at the beginning of the run, that it is a greed run. Once or twice a week we had a joker who needed on bossloot and I kicked him. I was reported dozends of times. They never even asked me to proof, that greed run was aggreed upon.

DK was the GG T2 dungeon dropping random T2 gear. There were 2 sets in high demand, selling for up to 1.5 million AD for some pices, avatar of war and high vizir. Add HR royal guard for a few month.
For some modules you needed a 'runner' for speedruns, TR or GWF. GF and DC, depending on the module CW or GWF stacking. If all roll 'need' TR, DC and GF were screwed with their armor selling for 100k AD, the (compared to other classes) useless HR had a chance for a jackpot and the class 'OP' in the module (GWF or CW) would be screwed compared to the other due to stacking.
Everyone contributed so everyone should have an equal chance to get the big ticket items.
BTW this were speedruns with near BIS players. Everybody had full sets, nobody needed their class set, exept to sell it for AD in the AH.
Better balance, better matching, etc. and the problem would go away.
Sure there is
If you know it is wrong you should not do it.... even if a loop hole allows it
