Its getting crazy, EVERY game 1 or 2 people are not playing, I know they are just joining a match to get the credits. aka credit farming.

Dev's PLEASE do something about these guys, talk about totally ruining a game.

Maybe a few suggestions:

If they are AFK for 2 minutes in a match then take money away from them like 100,000 credits, that would be good negative reinforcement to not credit farm.
If they are AFK for 2 games in a row then disconnect them from the server so any automated scripts they use to join games stops running, then use captcha when logging in.
I know captcha can be hacked but it will stop a lot of the script kiddies.

I know we are beta but wow, this is a total waste of time when you can never get a fair match. Not much of a reason to continue in beta unless this can be fixed.

Good point, I tend to focus on what pissed me off most but you present a valid case.

Just dropped and was crashed to desk top prior to entering the game. Maybe the AFK are still just this.

I think the high occurence of AFKers means more than random crashes. It looks like a trend or behavior, not accidents.

I'm seeing 3 disconnects a match now ... always one side is man down.

It's been bad this weekend. Never noticed if they are getting XP- could they be farming the double XP weekend?

Same here, had the problem a few minutes ago.

You get no money while being afk. Not even the 25.000 CB fix bonus.

I thought it was in hardware cause he thought we'd know which was the best baseball bat to leg these scollywag AFKrs with or something.

I'm moving this to jettisoned, as the whole thread seems to be about comical answers.

For the OP:
If you believe they do it intentional, note them and write a report to support@mwomercs.com or, if it still isn't working, to support@mwo.zendesk.com
