AFK PvP versus Non-AFK PvP

edited May 2013 in General Discussion (PC)
So i got fed up with GF being useless at lvl 60 and decided to roll out CW.
Thought PvP would be fastest way to level up i went into the game.

Lost the fight with only like 80 point difference and was 1st in my team score.
I got 1300XP and 25 Glory.
Fight lasted almost 15min

Next round i tested staying AFK, doing absolutely nothing at all
I got 1400XP and 28 glory.
Two other people were missing so fight lasted like 5-6min.


Question is, why should i even bother trying when i get rewarded more by staying AFK?

    The problem is for the system to consider what is really afk or not, and there will always be people who bypass the "check".
    Constructive feedback is what they need!

    You shouldn't, if you wanna AFK, do it. Nothing can really be done(unless vote kick is implemented), especially if you have leader.

    Half a level for afking? Nope, I can't see anything wrong with that. Playing the game only slows you down!

    Well, I don't know about you but when I start up a game it is usually to play that bad boy. So maybe,just maybe you should try because you want to play, Key word ,play, the game.

    Currently the game is basically Diablo3.

    Grind, get loot, sell it.
    The game is setup for AD and Zen, those are the rewards in the end.
    Not sure what else you're supposed to do once you have run all the content and got all yer gear.
    You need those to play the game, well atleast take part in the overall game, because it is a large part of the game.

    Foundry is a daily, you dont run those unless you were keen on the story, or doing the daily, because the rewards are bad now.

    Dungeons are repetitive with the same mechanics, that most people use to get gear then sell it.

    PVP is all about the killing each other for the glory, and not just the currency, but the win and to be pinned on the broken scoreboard.

    So if you could be more specific about what part of the game you were talking about, because the OP was clearly talking about PVP specifically, and the rewards with the current system in place.
    If purely playing the game is a reward for you, then i understand where you are coming from, but he is not.

    But if you were to play the game, and the game didnt let you, or didnt play back.. what would you do?
