I need to have some clarification on what specifically are the rules on being AFK in the game...I am wondering if someone goes AFK and decides to taunt in the spawn while say smoking a cigarette, to not get kicked, but then soon after begins to participate in the match after being AFK...would this be considered AFK Farming? Also if this is considered AFK farming then what would be the best course of action to take without being reported..should someone be AFK in spawn and let the automatic kick remove the person...or if someone is planning on being AFK should that person to avoid getting falsely reported just simply leave the match and take a penalty...
It seems to me that the developers need to specifically define the rules on being AFK in the game as to avoid being banned from the game...

AFK farming is a very deliberate practice where a player will manipulate the controls of the game to spam attacks or movements in a nonsensical way in order to farm XP and steel without needing to play.
Any reports sent to the support team about AFK farming are looked into thoroughly, so they will be able to decide whether the actions being reported were deliberate or coincidental.

i just want a straight answer because i was banned for 3 days for suspected AFK farming...what i was doing is i had to step away from the computer or i was at the computer smoking while taunting in spawn as to avoid a kick...what i want to know is what should i do as to avoid getting banned again...should i leave the match when i am going to AFK and take a penalty, or should i just sit in spawn and not move and let that auto kick happen...??????????????

I would suggest finishing your cigarette before you start a play session or wait after you finished the match. Being AFK to have a cigarette is not fair on those who are actually participating so being kicked out of the match for it is justified. Why would you smoke and play online games at the same time?i just want a straight answer because i was banned for 3 days for suspected AFK farming...what i was doing is i had to step away from the computer or i was at the computer smoking while taunting in spawn as to avoid a kick...what i want to know is what should i do as to avoid getting banned again...should i leave the match when i am going to AFK and take a penalty, or should i just sit in spawn and not move and let that auto kick happen...??????????????

i have logically come to the conclusion with god reason that if i am to go AFK for any reason that leaving the match is the best option because if i were to go AFK in the middle of a match and stay AFK without moving and get auto kicked that players will complain and possibly report me for throwing the match...but if i leave the moment i go AFK then at least someone will be put into the match thus not hindering the match for everyone...thank you for your help and advice this thread can be closed...
