Players AFK in the Crucible for two reasons: 1. To get loot 2. To deliberately tank their rating Yes, to tank their rating. This is how the coolest kids (normally Diamond ranked) can now be matched up against absolute noobs, utterly destroy them, and feel good about themselves. And, players of course are now AFK'ing in a way that defeats whatever pathetic safeguards Bungie has in place. These players stand still, never get auto-kicked, and they queue endlessly. Reporting them doesn't work. I've seen the same player AFK for a month. Instead, the system needs a few, very simple, structural changes. [b]HOW TO FIX:[/b] [b]1. If you have 0 damage you do NOT get Crucible loot 2. If you have 0 damage you do NOT get auto re-queued 3. If you have 0 damage your Crucible "ELO" (ranking) does not drop[/b] This is really simple. If you never hit anyone, you're not playing for real. Period. The 3rd point above is vitally important . Why? Because all the coolest kids are now "AFK-cheating" to deliberately tank their rating. Ever been utterly destroyed by a God during a Crucible match and wondered how he's in your match, then looked him up and find absolutely conflicting stats? Yeah. These are the kids. Let's look at world-class cheater #1 and his stats on [url=https://destinytracker.com/d2/profile/pc/DeviousTacts?mbmid=4611686018467349729]destinytracker[/url]. 26 days playing time. Impressive. Some kind of record? Likely. Top 100 in total kills. No surprise. Diamond ranked in EVERY competitive category. But lowly bronze/silver/gold in non-competitive (his ranking here depends on his place in the "play/afk cycle". More on this below). 3.0 efficiency in competitive. 1.8 in non-competitive. Hmm. Must have some really bad luck. But, his "game" really comes into focus when you examine his stats over time (Clash/Supremacy/Control). [url=https://i.imgur.com/7rSlSNk.png]Two weeks ago[/url] (Bronze/Bronze/Silver) Diamond in all competitive. A 986 in Clash. Wow. Just amazingly bad luck to be so good against the best players and absolute trash against utter noobs. [url=https://i.imgur.com/oQXEoew.png]A week later[/url] (Diamond/Platinum/Bronze) Oops. He's now Diamond 1746 in Clash. What a comeback!! I mean just amazing. [url=https://i.imgur.com/4IKmjJL.png]Today[/url] (Gold/Gold/Silver) Oops, he got too good again, and it's no fun to face other try-hards. Time to AFK and repeat the cycle. Yes, this is how world-class cheaters "game the system". He's not alone. There are others. He's just one of the best. tl;dr -- Stop giving any loot or taking away rating for players who do ZERO damage. It's really simple.
