LFM PvP AFK????

How long is Cryptic going to allow PvP to be this broken? I mean it's bad enough how crazy unbalanced the classes are for pvp, or the fact there is only 1 PvP mode, but everyday I see the zone chat filled with people saying "LF2M PvP AFK"

Entire AFK groups are being formed to exploit the heck out of this game. How difficult is it to just add a timer at spawn point that kicks players? Five people I know have already completely quit the game because of how terrible the PvP is. Honestly if I didn't spend the $200 already I would question to play this too. Luckily I enjoy the pve enough, but even doing the daily PvP for AD sucks and I dread it (even though I win most games, it's still boring to wait to win against afkers)

I'm sure no one will read this far and still comment about how "It's still in beta".. Honestly this is a soft launch not beta. Even closed beta wasn't really beta because you mostly had to pay to get in. At this point if they can't fix this afk exploit in pvp soon than they should shut it down to avoid more exploiters.

    The pvp in this game is terrible with all that going on and more.
    The pve in this game was good, but with exploits and bugs it is now terrible as well.

    Your fault for forking out $200 on meaningless junk that they would even have the nerve to promote as being worth up to $500+ value when in fact you are paying $200 and getting like $100 worth of items in the game...

    All the crying about people afk farming glory are worse than the people afk farming.

    How about you mind your own business and stop worrying about others? Or at the very least just report them and move along without the QQ.

    don`t know if reporting helps because it`s not realy an exploit to go afk.
    it`s just a huge design flaw.

    i understand the madness because some are making at least 2 million AD each day now, with 5 acoounts. that includes 8 hours sleep. otherwise it would go easy over 3 million.

    I know reporting wont do anything but if it makes people like the OP feel better then so be it.

    I dont know or care if afk farming is "bad" or not but ill never understand why so many people have the urge to tell on others when the game allows it. Basically, if cryptic doesnt want it in their game they will fix it, no need for the **** storm in zone chat anytime someone types afk.

    Yeah i can instantly tell that you are one of those. Doing this is essentially like hopping into a dungeon and staying at spawn letting your team kill all mobs and you need on everything. This is laziness, heck, I'll say its cheating. You are just standing in spawn doing absolutely nothing to help your team. You are letting them do all the work and IMO there should be a PvP ban for people who do this.

    Let me be clear since I guess I wasnt before. Im talking about an afk team not a single person going afk. I agree that one or two people going afk on a team is a bad move.

    You can instantly tell, huh? Ive played maybe half a dozen PvP maps and contributed in every one. If I get the rare urge to play PvP I actually play PvP.

    I just dont get why people care so much about how others play, or not play in this case.

    They're going to fix it tomorrow. ...... Well, until someone finds another way around it. They say stuff like bots are in ongoing issue in afk that they're working to eliminate.

    People already posted in that thread how to get around it: by simply pressing jump every few seconds. Hell you don't even have to do that, just messing with the interface like Escape twice will prevent the AFK mechanism from kicking in. Most people already do this so this solves nothing and is largely being done to appease people with no real effect. They even already said they don't have a fix for that new counter lol...

    Yeah you're right i don't see why people are mad that they join a game with teammates who do nothing or no enemies to play against. Yeah no problems here

    Well, it's quite annoying to go play a PvP game when half the time there is no game at all. And can't play dungeons either, as the queue is longer than my gaming time and if I happen to get in, I will be kicked because of playing GWF. Before the run even starts ofcourse, so no chance to prove my worth or not.

    Hard to enjoy the game, no matter how good or bad it is supposed to be.

    And I can jump on walls and then to their spawn site, but that gets old quite fast too. Some afker's rage disconnect warm heart little bit, but not enough.

    Aye, if you que for PvP you should play and not sit in spawn.

    everyone here is completely missing the point... whether its an entire afk team ruining the fun for the other 5 players... the pvp in this game right now is to the point where it is EXTREMELY difficult to win a 4v5 or 3v5 due to simple mechanics. in a 5v5 that 1 afk player makes a huge difference... Theres a reason that LoL has so many anti afk systems and punishments in place. I don't care how other play, but when it affects the entertainment value of the game for myself and the other 9 players in the pvp match its a bit much.

    Mind our own business? Unfortunately, the decision of any player to go AFK in a team-based area of the game affects the other 9 players who are in the match, and therefore it is very much "our business".

    It's Wednesday and I've still got people AFK-expoliting. GG PW, have fun watching the in-game economy go to ****, along with your player-base.

    To be honest, the package isn't a bad deal. As a long time fan of the forgotten realms and the neverwinter series I thought the pack would be worth it. Honestly it would be worth it if there was anything to do at the end of the game. I can live past the bugs and exploits, but now that I'm level 60 and the only thing I can do is stand still waiting for a queue to pop (for a group with no heals most likely) I'm not so sure I would have spent my money.

    They have basically said they're not planning on balancing classes anytime soon and I've heard no mention of giving solo content for level 60's. I mean seriously we can't even a have a daily foundry quest to kill some time? Bad move Cryptic, very bad.

    Report and move on. If you're dedicated, send them a tell so you have their @handle, get a screenshot, and mail it to one of the devs (sominator is the community manager, effreet/ melanderi is the lead gm).
