Please make it easier to vote AFK

[Bassman]

<p>People like Screamo who go into a x4, fly to the tower, and sit on the side of the tower AFK the entire match need to be voted AFK.  As it is right now, people can't just right click on them and vote AFK, they have to actually be within range of them to do it.  So unless the vote AFK is a zone based click, people like Screamo will continue to waste their teams time in BGs while he sits afk and get his free tokens for all his toons. </p><p>Can we please have it changed so we can vote someone afk from across the zone?</p>

<p>I had not needed to use the Vote AFK option until a couple days ago, and I will agree that having to be in close proximity to the person is rather difficult when they park themselves in out-of-the-way locations.</p>

<p>Having never been voted AFK I assume they get a message they can respond to that allows them to remain in the match.That won't help with lazy players or ones that are simply quitting because they think the match is hopeless assuming they do in fact remain at the keyboard. I'm all for a better system than we have now but I do not want to see a system that can be used to boot people for arbitrary reasons. Like crap gear, not playing to someone elses standards, etc. A system like that can be used to grief other players. Even the zonewide version of the AFK vote could easily be spammed until the target can do nothing but respond or quit in frustration. Just like real life sometimes you have to consider what bad people can do with a tool designed with good intentions. Would you like being spammed with an AFK vote because someone just feels like messing with you?</p>
