I saw 15 AFKs in a single AV last weekend. It's basically back to where it was before. More people seem to be reporting them though, so they adapt. Some move out of the tunnel to "hide" elsewhere. Some stand still for 15 minutes until they get flagged as inactive, then they run midfield to get in combat, and then go afk again till they get flagged again, rinse and repeat. The amount of effort people are willing to put into not playing amazes me.

I think the BG tokens are part of the problem. People are being forced to play a BG they don't like just to get tokens, which may lead some to AFKing. Unpopular BGs should be looked at to make them more attractive to players, people shouldn't be forced into them.

I also think kill honor in AV should be looked at. If you would get 4-5 honor per kill no matter how many other players were nearby, it would reward actively participating far more than it does now. Towers are actually worth fighting over now so even defenders will get something out of it.
