Really, people are still AFKing BGs?

I kinda understand why this happened last season. But why now?

If anything it seems by allowing/tolerating/encouraging people to do this to get their Realm Event points last season this yet another nonsense thing has been introduced to the BGs experience.

Yay, free win… but at the expense of wasting my time and sucking any and all adrenaline out of the experience.

Oh it’s even more fun when you get a succubus pauser as an opponent too.

BGs already has enough problems with AI, **** competitive rewards, modders, etc.

Don’t be a time sucking black hole, have some courtesy for others time and experience.

    Being a choice that’s not a rule break doesn’t mean it’s not a trashy thing to do.

    You know sometimes you think you have time to a BG round and something comes up then suddenly you don't have the time.
    I Once thought I had a time for a match and got a call I had to answer, realized I had a BG match about 3 hours later.

    Sounds a bit gatekeepy, people can play how they wish, so long as it’s allowed
    Sorry I guess when people queue up to play a game, silly me expects them to play the game. Totally a gatekeepy thing on my part… 🙄

    Naw, that's what you want to do.

    If we can log in and collect rewards, then others can match and read the funnies 5x and collect those rewards, and return to BGs when another carrot is dangled.

    If the game wanted actual competition for rewards, it's pretty easy to require rudimentary swipes to qualify as a match "attempt." I'd bring that up as a suggestion for someone who demands "competition."

    Definitely not a comment about QoL stuff. It’s about “strategists” that think QoL items are ok to abuse.

    I had a match against someone that put all 2*'s on their roster for some reason [Platinum 2]. It was so bizarre. Someone giving away wins

    Playing to get 3 matches in. Makes them go faster.

    Lord I’ve seen what you do for others🥲🙏🏼

    In all seriousness I wish I’d match the AFK players. Could farm up milestones easy off of them

    Where are these AFK matches you speak of and how come I never get matched with them🤣

    Oh sorry. Do you want to choose my roster now? Should I also give my password? Since you want to control how people play the game

    When my ftp gets paired against an account larger than my main I'm tempted to go afk. But I generally still play. I just don't make any decisions because the 3 7* it has WILL get banned and my 5* roster can't compete with a full 7* roster no matter how long I've played. Maybe if they didn't ban the only 3 7*s then it'd be a Lil more competitive haha

    Explain to me the action of playing that is happening here. Because I’d love to see these mental gymnastics that make afk playing a game.

    Let's end this conversation here, it is clearly going nowhere.
