<p>Do something more about the people who constantly go AFK in Battlegrounds.</p><p>The current system, which requires players to chase down people who are AFK and vote them AFK is not enough.  It was a good start, but there needs to be something more.</p><p>Now, people just find the most secuded, hard-to-reach spot they can find, and AFK there, making the rest of their team hunt them down to vote them AFK.</p><p>Its gimping the teams of the people who want to play.  Do something more.</p>

<p>I still believe a good way to implement the AFK voting was to allow the group/raid to just vote via the raid/group window regardless of how close they are to the AFK'r. Yes you can Vote AFK from the windows now but you still have to be within range of the AFK'r. And given the fact they are finding more secluded hard to reach places its difficult getting enough people to chase them the AFKr down because they are actually competeing in the match. And now i have noticed some people will go afk but still watch chat. Moment you start mentioning in chat to vote them afk they do just enough to become active and then go back to being afk.</p>
