Apparently, some people reported me for leeching during an Alliance Battle yesterday.
I had died and got resurrected, but then sneezed, and you know the kind of sneezes where your hand gets covered in snot... well, that happened to me.
I got up, went to grab a tissue, and when I came back, three people had listed me as leeching when very well they knew I was actually fighting/capping shrines not even a minute ago.
I'm just curious to know if anyone else has had anything similar to what happened with me.
I Sneeze, Therefore I Leech?

It's happened to me before, but I had to rescue a rabbit from a dog.
Was in an AB match and a rabbit got out of a cage. Went and put it back in, maybe two minutes, came back and got reported by like 4 people. :3
I guess some people just don't get that life>video game.

This is one of the best thread titles I've ever seen.
Well, it does seem a little unfair but IMHO you should have said that you were going to brb.

Yea its happened to me i was abing on my ele solo capping and my nose started bleeding and i dont think anyone say me start in the beginning and then they reported me
You can't see me
I'm sure you'll be fine.
Has it happened to me? No, not personally, but I've seen people do it to others. I personally don't mash the report function every time I see someone stand still because there's something called real life, but I guess not everyone remembers that all the time.
By the way- no need to make a post every time someone reports/cusses at/calls you a noob. There's not much discussion to it.

Yeah, it did happen to me actually in Fort Aspenwood. I was on my monk bonding gates, and guess what? We had three rits, two bonders, two paras, and a lone ele lol. They didn't make it past a single gate and we were actually on offense kinda (if you call slowly walking forwards taking no damage but dealing none offense). So It's like 1 minute till the game finishes, and I tell my Aspenwood team that I'm gonna brb and that they already have the game won. I come back 45 seconds later 3 people reported me, the other 4 were telling them not to lol.
Shiing!
Yeah, happened to me before when I needed the loo. Oh well. you only have to wait like 10 minutes anyway or whatever it is.

My pc usually lags at the start of AB games. I can see other people moving or talking, I move, but I don't move on the severs, only on my own screen. So after 45s I get 3 reports, and some other people reported the for false reporting, and report wars started.

Leeching should be a title. So If you happen to get reported, your one step closer towards the top.
(1) Away
(2) AFK'er
(3) Bot

On topic, people think that this game is the most important thing and the flaws with the report system allow this kind of crap. Sorry to hear about it though.

This has happened to me a few times like...
"Hey the taco is back"
or
"Dog just pooped gotta clean it up"
or
"Wow what a awesome movie..."

I get more poop talkers than reports in ab.
AB needs more of them, it gets funnier every time!

Here's the scenario from everyone else's perspective:
You join a match.
Sometime during the match, you stop answering in chat or doing anything.
Others see this and report you as leeching.
Unless you actually convey that you need to go afk, even if just to get a tissue, then how is everyone else to know?

This happened to be once, because I use one of those desks with the keyboard on that slide-out board, and the board fell off the track. I had to sit there and hold it with my hands else it'd fall and rip the wire right out of the computer!
Yeah, some people find the stupidest excuses to report others.
Maybe use that one snot-free pinky or your foot, and type "sorry guys brb real quick" will make at least one of the people not report you. Sometimes announcing you're gonna be away really helps. But then again, in PvP, I don't know. We all know how the mindsets of PvPers are.

And that's why you need to be reported a LOT before there are serious consequences.

So everyone doesn't hit the toilet, grab a dink, turn off phone and have all esential items within arms reach before starting an AB match?

So? Here's your lesson. Always have tissues with you/next to you.

Next time, take one finger, press "Enter". Type: "brb". Press "Enter" again.

*nods*
How are they supposed to know you'll be right back, if you don't say so? For all they know you could have went out for a walk while they finish. Granted, people should't be quite so quick to hit /report. But that quote^ says enough.

hey its not that bad......
i once got reported for.. farming. i was farming for my monks fissure before the mystic regen nurf, so i would run out of bergens, kill everything, in 10 mins i would be back in bergens running out of the door. after i few runs i would move to gates of kryta, then to another place (secret :P ) and then back to bergens.
so as i run out i get a report for botting.... i PM the guy asking wtf he reported me without even trying to make sure im a bot.... like PMing with a comment or question or idk.
and besides that, bots usually wear the tyrian armor undyed, and dont wear kurzik armor dyed white.........
lol

How can you come back when you were dead/eaten?
Me thinkz the lawz o phisix ar not here.
Kula
That's why there should be a feature or command that lets a player's character become a "hero" for the time that they just have to be afk at that moment. When they come back, they can regain control of their character again.
Need to afk? Let the AI take over until you come back. I bet there are drawbacks to this idea but I can't think of one atm.
Edit:
Wouldn't work if you were soloing, obviously, it was meant to be used for when you have to temporarily leave other players for "real life". Afk for more than 3 minutes, and AI stops automatically and can't be used again like rez signet or use again after half-hour.
3 minutes is enough to take a piss, right? (As well as wipe the green gunk off the Op's nose.)

/agree - sometimes people are trigger happy when it comes to reporting. Giving people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to loading into a map is no bad thing. Personally, I give them about 2 minutes. If they haven't moved by then, I'm guessing they're leeching.
If they've been fighting along for a while and stop, I assume that RL happened. Ususally, the person starts up again within a minute or so, anyway.

People will either report you at the drop of a hat (or sneeze), but they will not report farming bots or gold spammers. Is there some warm fuzzy that goes with reporting real people who you know are actually there? It is quite annoying to me that you have to hit people with the CAPSLOCK sledgehammer to explain to them that the person who has been standing in your base for the last 10 minutes is a LEECH! and then people who pop out for 2 seconds get the leech label faster than you can say "pve"
Curse You
Keep tissues at hand. Also if you don't have tissues, sneeze into your arm/sleeve, so that even if it is messy, you can still type.
Very unnecessary.

People get pretty anal about it. It happens.
But there's also a pretty big difference between getting reported and getting banned for it : \ ANet has logs, so I wouldn't worry. They're also human beings, as well: Shit happens.

When I have to take a break away, unless it's a guild team I simply move my cursor to the top-right corner of the screen and click the X. That way I feel free to take my time and not be rushed. If it's with a guild team I give them a quick explanation and leave.
