Seriously needs to be a quicker way to report these pieces of filth. I've tried to initiate a vote kick on someone who was stood at the top doing nothing, but it's too hectic to go through the process as you have to type a reason for the kick, in between waves you have mobs on top of you before you can fire it off, then everyone else is knee deep when you do manage to fire it off, so it goes ignored.
I hate people who do this, it's lazy, costs everyone else their time, and it would HAMSTER me off no end if they got the mount at the end for doing nothing.

That's my problem with it.
I knew I wouldn't die but it took FOREVER for me to finally kill everything. It would have felt like an accomplishment if that chest had given me the wolf - but alas, no wolf for me.

One thing I will state though, I have yet to see a shadow wolf drop for me or my guild mate. We ran the event 2 straight hours each night and neither one of us got a shadow wolf. Yet I hear others are averaging a shadow wolf once an hour or so.
Then don't be in the game.
Simple really.
If it's habitual, then yeah....they are joining new lobbies & leaching. That's not very cool.
If it's an instance or two with contribution in a random pub, then yeah....stuff comes up.
My family has & always will come first, & if I get a call concerning my job....yep, I will be afk
Should you not like the random events of life happening & inconviencing your play time I suggest keep pubs far off & work in guilds or at the very least stay in the random CTA group that does play the objective earnestly.
At the very least try to start a dialog if you can, just don't throw out blocks willy nilly when someone is afk unless it's habitual.
You want features to ban the leaches...that's going to be pretty hard to do in an inclusive free to play game where everyone's buy in is zero
You can block them however; it's just my hope you use it judiciously
Over the weekend during the CTA I was getting bad mouthed by some fella for not reviving him; I suspect he thought I didn't have my mic on. Thing of it was I was trying but getting no prompts or recognition for button hitting. I then spoke up & called him on it. To his credit he tripped over himself apologizing
Shortly after the event the team he was with left, leaving only him & I. I followed suit as to avoid further accusations should I try to pick him up again & it not work or show commands. I didn't block him though. My worry was more over his connection & what impression he'd get from me if our revive issue continued.
I certainly wasn't a guy obsessing over DPS; (the other topic I saw with torches & pitchforks) as I was a ranger with a noob build content to just mildly contribute. In fact I just standing over him doing nothing in close proximity to a mob mini boss with my bow drawn to give him that fox dodge should I get him up- which I was trying like heck to do but game issues didn't even give me the option!
It's a game over the Internet played by imperfect people with imperfect connections. With that in mind, their is a big difference between being a victim of circumstance & defining a circumstance to victimize & take advantage of others.
I don't like true leaches either, that said I have a life outside of gaming that takes priority over my hobby. I'm not about to quit either & if you block me....your loss; I'm a pretty nice guy, lol.
god guys is it such a difficult concept? so what if others can carry you. you are there to play. not afk and get rewards..
they need to fix vtk SO bad.
For that matter something more mundane like my sister calls, not logging out. I'll play & talk & be horrible... but hey it is what it is. Why should I log out because I cant go at it every second in hardcore mode; sorry too old for that plus my hardcore is more try hard than anything anymore. That said at least I do try....Maybe I'll be replaced by a true leach & then what of a random lobby that actually tries to converse & stick together?
Or.... Maybe I played a good deal as a "non leach" or am carrying a lobby....so suddenly my contributions don't matter?
It's not like all phone calls happen at the events start, lol.
At any rate I hate to disappoint but as a guy with a busy life who still enjoys his hobby; you obviously don't get where I am coming from nor do I get you & your Pov
I'm not wasting my limited free time logging in & out evertime something goes sideways as not to be inconviencing to others, especially when I am contributing to the best of my ability....
This game is for casuals as much as its for hardcore types who can afford to dedicate everything to their gaming. It's a big pool, pick where you swim.
I'll tell you right now though the pubs & devs are never going to make it a mandatory Olympic sized pool that demands performance or exile; that's not reality & it's a failing business model. Plus the nere do wells will just find a work around.
I dont' care about your excuses. play the game if you are in game. if you are not playing the game then QUIT. no excuses.
It's not the afk at the end, or hell, even in the middle.
It's the ones that at launch, never come down.
Not 10 seconds before you accepted the queue.
So you're there, but not moving?
Those are the ones I have an issue with.
And maybe it's just me, but with a two year old running around I've learned, even with this game in a couple weeks, how to drop out as I'm dropping the controller.
Now, if he's bleeding, on fire, screaming in pain, etc am I going to take the time to drop out? Nope.
As was said, family does come first. Always.
Thing is, it's EVERY match I has someone was sitting out top
Every single one.
Without exception.
Some would come down when called out.
And of those, most would then just stand there.
I even had one reply to me telling me to f off.
So is there a legitimate reason for being afk, darn right
Two things.
Even with a crazy two year old running around, I've not had a single time where I had to go afk in the two seconds between accepting the queue and the instance launching.
Second, a few rotten apples spoil the barrel.
Especially when every time, there's at least one that has to be called out.
