Idle PvP players ruining the game

edited May 2010 in PvP Gameplay
I recently have witnessed an increasing number of players that join a pvp game but never participate.
All they do is remain at respawn and wait until the game is over.Today I saw a player joining with a Runabout vessel :eek:...and remaining idle all during the battle.
Obviously they queue for pvp in order to gain access to "Marks of Honor" (RA lvl) even though i cant see what they would want to do with them anyway.
Such attitude is anti-social and anti-teamplay.It creates an inbalance in the game making the inherent pvp bugs ( stuck in buildings,unequal team numbers,exploiting TSS stacking etc) even worse.
Unfortunately -unlikely to other games- u cannot shoot your own teamate.Makes u want to do exactly that :mad:

    I saw a Fed couple of days ago just go on run after run to the Klingon base. Never did any damage, and just popped RSP to get through any Klingons that targeted him.

    Should have layed him out him with a Target engines and lined him up for the Ram. ;)

    Heh, I was busy with the rest of the Fed team. They see my carrier and it's like there's a big target painted on the side. :)

    Just raise a ticket, firstly it lets the GMs know that the player enagages in anti-social behaviour and secondly it lets the devs know there is a problem with the game. They then might implement a mechanism similar to the system in WoW for reporting afk players in battlegrounds.
