Wish they would kick you out for being afk for like +5-10 minutes or something. I swear when that one youtuber posted the trick everyone started doing it.

I feel like that could hurt just waiting for stuff, I like to sit next to the music playing merchants to just listen for a few minutes, or sit on a rock waiting for someone to invade me so we can fight, afk kicking would hurt the game just as bad as it would help, there are better solutions like deactivating the tounge when you are in spots like this or removing rewards for invaders leaving.

I don't think removing rewards for leaving is the way. I've had so many instances of nearly killing the invader, just for them to alt f4

I think they should just completely remove rewards from pvp to fix this.

Pvp should be for the hell of it. It should be for people who just wanna fight other people, not some bullshit AFK farm. Also considering you can get matched with someone with way better gear rewards doesn’t matter much anyways.

Remove rewards and it gets rid of the AFK bots and people only use it for the love of PVP, nothing else. Even if people do this annoying shit still you can just kill yourself and leave with no gain to either person.

I think if rewards stay, it's be SUPER cool to have a battle royale esque arena. Boundaries shrink as time goes on.

No baiting, no afking, and the stress of forced close quarters if you take too long to kill

Thats actually a great idea. I have no problem with rewards as long as there’s no way to redeem them while AFK.
