Alterac Valley 5/19/08

I fought in 8 more AV's tonight on Wranngar, 3 wins and 5 losses. The major problem tonight was the amount of AFK in the battleground. In the last battle I was in more than 1/4 of our team was AFK. It is time for Blizzard to step up to the plate and take some kind of action to deter this. I think a first offense should be a week ban from battlegrounds, second offense, within a certain timeframe, a one month ban from battlegrounds and loss of any accumulated honor, third offense, within a certain timeframe, banned from battlegrounds for life and loss of all honor rewards and honor. I am sick of losing battles because so many people are AFK, they are taking a slot from someone who could be fighting. I get pretty aggravated by repeat AFK offenders and tend to go for harsh penalties, but something really needs to be done about the problem. Whatever is being done now does not seem to be deterring the same people from going AFK day after day.
