Just switch sides when one side gets too many botters/leechers.

There are bots and leechers on both sides! Besides, this idea wouldn't be too useful for the people that have already maxed one of the titles.

I get just as frustrated as the rest of you when I see leechers in my group, but I don't think removing all their faction is the best way to handle the situation. The risk of abuse is way too high.

I suppose so, but one side is never as bad as the other...

Ahh, But sometimes it takes adversity to breed inspiration!

1. Many people don't report leechers because they think it's a waste of time since there isn't much of a penalty involved for leeching. With a more severe penalty (Zero faction awarded for confirmed leecher during a match + dishonorable), there's more incentive for people to report.

2. Lots of honest people don't report because they don't want to get slapped with dishonorable for false reporting. The more incentive there is to report leechers, the more reporting will be done, reducing the chances of getting dinged for "false reporting."

As for abuse, the leechers are abusing the hell out of the current system. The problem needs addressed because of this & the fact that it ruins the enjoyment of people who actually play the game. So which is more prone to abuse? A system where abuse is easily carried out by one person who can leech to his heart's content without the support of others and with little fear of reprisal, OR a system where abuse can only be done by co-operative efforts of a group of friends who happened to miraculously (yeah, right) entered the battle at the same time?

I would agree if the system itself knew which one is leeching or not...

I will be completely honest.
I am a troll.I go to ToA and anoy people,i have my limits tho (no i wont try to scam,no i wont spam on All chat,no i wont join an uw/fow team then leave)just things like following people,opening trade and closing,etc.98% of the time people laugh or go to storage,get a sugary thing and do it to you.To the point,i will admit that if they do this i could go with my friends about 2 times a year to JQ to report people randomly so they lose faction.If i would do it,ANYONE will.

SO,i think this would help as a solution for a while (note:for a while)

IF you get reported 8 times for leeching (be it in one game or several) in under 24 hours,you will get dishonorable for that area for 12ish hours.And another random hex that makes it so if you get reported 2 times in another pvp area in under 3 hours,while the previous area's dishonorable is in effect,you will get dishonorable for the 2nd area for 3ish hours.

Problem with my solution:It may overkill whats already been dead for years.PVP.but as i said is a temporary one...

Also please make the system check if when a person leaves a PVP game,he wouldv lost in about 2 mins anyways,so no DH pts will be added...
