Report as AFK (BG) Macro

[Ualaa]

Long term, this macro probably won't help the success of your side in battlegrounds, as it will force your team to engage in combat with opposing players rather then rush to or defend strategic positions which will win the game.

Short term, it can be a very sweet form of revenge. If the dorks decide to report you as AFK in a BG, just as it is starting. Or are otherwise idiots because you are a boxer. Hit your hotkey for this macro (and have your entire team do it).

The macro will report every player in the BG as AFK. This includes your own toons, which means you will need to engage in combat shortly or be booted from the battle. With a full 5-man team, and everyone running the macro, there will be enough reports on every player for them to all receive the AFK Debuff.

The macro:
/run for i=1,GetNumRaidMembers()-1 do local unit = "raid"..i local name,realm = UnitName(unit) if(realm) then ReportPlayerIsPVPAFK(name.."-"..realm) else ReportPlayerIsPVPAFK(name) end end

The macro was made by Valkry, not me.
I'm just cross posting it to this site.

Not sure I'd really use that.
But it is an option.

I do get pissed off when reported as AFK, by 5+ players, while not AFK.. for the crime of boxing in a BG.

Sending in tickets to GM's, basically stating that I've been AFK reported, while actively participating in the BG has not really done anything. But the squeeky wheel gets the grease; maybe if they have several hundred people complaining of being AFK flagged while not AFK that will change the system some.

I wouldn't just spam that for the hell of it, in a given BG. But anytime I'm not AFK and am actively participating and trying to win, and am still flagged as AFK... I will be pressing the macro to give others the same medicine. In a WSG, where its only 10 toons and all five of the others have reported you, I won't feel the slightest bit bad for having my five do the same to them. AB/EotS are 15-man BG's, so half of the remaining field have flagged you while half have not. And then AV is a 40 man, so the majority of players are not flagging you, while the macro retaliates against everyone.

To bad you cannot tell which toons have flagged you.
