AFK in PVP - with a twist - Guild Wars Forums

Today in Fort Aspenwood some idiot decided to leech. Every few minutes they would move around a little, always staying in a safe zone and doing nothing. What I was wondering is whether moving around every once in a while would stop the game from recognising the player as a leecher once they have been reported or if our reports were not in vain

If there are enough reports, I highly doubt that moving is going to stop anet from noticing

Yes, there will always be leechers, but the report feature is your friend.

As long as multiple people report them, the game doesn't care if they move around

Afaik, they dont get reported to anet anyway, they just get more dishounor?

Solus Spartan · Dec 28, 2007, 04:18 AM // 04:18

No, they get reported to A-net.

Leeching = Anet reported + Dishon
Leaving = Dishon

Oh good thanks

Just checking that it doesn't use moving as some verification to check whether the reporters are lying lol.

They might even be botting from what I gather. I've seen people doing that before, but they were clearly not there, and always moved in the same pattern.

If players actively /report, Anet hears about it. Dishonor is automated though, no report necessary if you're a leaver.
