Possibly the only way to realistically stop bots/afkers

Firstly, I realize PWE/Cryptic is not going to ban these people. I think those cynical like me will understand why. Its not cost effective.

Having said that, the most cost effective way to get rid of bot/afkers in pvp is to nerf the xp. Why the heck is it so high, anyways? Up the xp in dungeons, so people will actually queue for those while leveling up and gain real experience in dealing with the mechanics of PvE.

Also, I might suggest having no one with enough power to boot people in a randomly generated PuG. Have a voting system like Rift does.

PvP in this game is fun, but some minor details are adding up to make it a real PITA.

    totally agree on the XP part it is way to high in pvp. Doing a 30 min dungeon that only awards like 4 barsegments of xp is just not worth it when 1 pvp match can give like 5 bar segments in under what 15 mins?

    And replenish the teams when people are kicked fighting 2 vs 4 after bot booting is not fun eighter.

    LOL, I just myself wrote about this. Though instead of Rift I reference TERA

    .

    Maybe we should get rid of PVP altogether? I sure love solutions that ruin it even more than the current issue for those who actually play the game.

    I would rather see bots in pvp with no nerf to the xp, instead of else where; other mmo's bots.
