Interesting is one word for it. I'd also call it infuriating.

Reporting AFKers sounds good to me. I realize that we all go ARK occasionally--Life Happens, the Internet is an imperfect beast, and sometimes the moron roommate resets the modem while you're playing and sadly the law doesn't consider that justification for homicide--but frequent offenders need to be flagged somehow. I'd also like to see a 10 minute surrender option if you've got an AFKer OR you're down 2:1 or more in kills (maybe 3:1?). Also, in addition to a "friend"...

I can certainly complain about AFKers! I don't really care what you can do (or not…and I'm not pointing out that you're a douche for telling me what I can or can't do, aren't you proud of me?), in most cases AFKers wreck the game for the other two people playing. It's not about the karma, it's about the game. Also, recently I've been having an AFKer about every other game, and some days it's 2 of 3. It's especially annoying when it's a Guest account. I'm Karma level 18--why...

I'm not sure that an AFKer would have enough gold to matter, but it's an interesting idea to play around with. I'm also skeptical that all the gold in the world would matter much in a 1 on 3 match unless the 3 were truly inept. Of course, there are lots of the inept out there, I seem to have a gift for finding them. :(

Done! I feel your pain about AFKers. Hopefully the new changes will help that.

Hey, Avocat! Montgomery is a bit far to just pop down, but I'll certainly add you and look for you.

Karma level 16, 146 wins looking for people in the Birmingham area for same-room play. Hopefully, we can find a site(s) with good internet (and preferably good snacks--slaughter is thirsty work) where we can all yell across the table, without having to ping the PUGtards (Pick Up Group retards). Also, I'm getting sick and tired of AFKers dragging me down and wasting my time, and hope that same-room play will cut down on this. I generally play Adagio (support/hybrid), Skaarf or Krul, but...

lol I feel your pain, KingManny31! You're not alone in being sick unto death of the PUGtards (Pick Up Group retards). Lately it seems like 2 out of 3 games I play wind up with either a complete idiot with NO conception of "teamwork" or an AFKer. That's hard on your skill level, as you can imagine. I'm in the NA region (Alabama, USA), and generally play Adagio (support/hybrid role), Skaarf or Krul. I'm not a creep thief like some; as far as I'm concerned, as long as they die...
