Apparently, some people reported me for leeching during an Alliance Battle yesterday.

I had died and got resurrected, but then sneezed, and you know the kind of sneezes where your hand gets covered in snot... well, that happened to me.

I got up, went to grab a tissue, and when I came back, three people had listed me as leeching when very well they knew I was actually fighting/capping shrines not even a minute ago.

I'm just curious to know if anyone else has had anything similar to what happened with me.

It's happened to me before, but I had to rescue a rabbit from a dog.

Was in an AB match and a rabbit got out of a cage. Went and put it back in, maybe two minutes, came back and got reported by like 4 people. :3

I guess some people just don't get that life>video game.

This is one of the best thread titles I've ever seen.

Well, it does seem a little unfair but IMHO you should have said that you were going to brb.

Stuff like that happens to me alot, it bugs me.

Yea its happened to me i was abing on my ele solo capping and my nose started bleeding and i dont think anyone say me start in the beginning and then they reported me

You can't see me · Feb 20, 2008, 11:00 PM // 23:00

I'm sure you'll be fine.

Has it happened to me? No, not personally, but I've seen people do it to others. I personally don't mash the report function every time I see someone stand still because there's something called real life, but I guess not everyone remembers that all the time.

By the way- no need to make a post every time someone reports/cusses at/calls you a noob. There's not much discussion to it.

Yeah, it did happen to me actually in Fort Aspenwood. I was on my monk bonding gates, and guess what? We had three rits, two bonders, two paras, and a lone ele lol. They didn't make it past a single gate and we were actually on offense kinda (if you call slowly walking forwards taking no damage but dealing none offense). So It's like 1 minute till the game finishes, and I tell my Aspenwood team that I'm gonna brb and that they already have the game won. I come back 45 seconds later 3 people reported me, the other 4 were telling them not to lol.

Shiing! · Feb 20, 2008, 11:03 PM // 23:03

Yeah, happened to me before when I needed the loo. Oh well. you only have to wait like 10 minutes anyway or whatever it is.

My pc usually lags at the start of AB games. I can see other people moving or talking, I move, but I don't move on the severs, only on my own screen. So after 45s I get 3 reports, and some other people reported the for false reporting, and report wars started.

Leeching should be a title. So If you happen to get reported, your one step closer towards the top.

(1) Away
(2) AFK'er
(3) Bot

one time there was a leecher in ab, i stand right next to him for 1 min just to make sure he's leeching before i report, next thing, me and him both got reported, rofl, best time ever

don't ab.

wanmoke · Feb 20, 2008, 11:56 PM // 23:56

On topic, people think that this game is the most important thing and the flaws with the report system allow this kind of crap. Sorry to hear about it though.

Quick_Prodigy · Feb 21, 2008, 12:19 AM // 00:19

This has happened to me a few times like...

"Hey the taco is back"
or
"Dog just pooped gotta clean it up"
or
"Wow what a awesome movie..."

Tyla · Feb 21, 2008, 12:56 AM // 00:56

I get more poop talkers than reports in ab.

AB needs more of them, it gets funnier every time!

**cosyfiep** · Feb 21, 2008, 12:57 AM // 00:57

have a lagggy connection, this is why I dont do those areas----

yes lag happens. report doesnt.

Biostem · Feb 21, 2008, 01:02 AM // 01:02

Here's the scenario from everyone else's perspective:

You join a match.

Sometime during the match, you stop answering in chat or doing anything.

Others see this and report you as leeching.

Unless you actually convey that you need to go afk, even if just to get a tissue, then how is everyone else to know?

Eldin · Feb 21, 2008, 01:05 AM // 01:05

This happened to be once, because I use one of those desks with the keyboard on that slide-out board, and the board fell off the track. I had to sit there and hold it with my hands else it'd fall and rip the wire right out of the computer!

Yeah, some people find the stupidest excuses to report others.

Maybe use that one snot-free pinky or your foot, and type "sorry guys brb real quick" will make at least one of the people not report you. Sometimes announcing you're gonna be away really helps. But then again, in PvP, I don't know. We all know how the mindsets of PvPers are.
