I'm guessing you have never encountered one of those guys, where when you say everyone move back lets kill him because he's idling, he instantly leaves.
I've had to deal with this too many times and I constantly watch ppl's actions.
I've had one guy that joined my game, leaves after 30 seconds? because he sees hes way above the host's level. We remake, he joins again. and goes afk after 20 actions for a good 20mins.
What do you do?
I've had too many of these guys that leech games on purpose. I don't care if people that are bming others in ls play the game or not. I view situations like this the same way I do real life. The agressor makes the rules, if they bm you, bm(not really bm imo) them back. Same as when I was in the Marine Corps...if they shoot at you...shoot back. I don't heal afkers and don't have a problem at all if they die, I usually hope they do. They usually have no prof to lose and are taking a gamble by afking.
I've had too many people that the group has pretty much begged to stop leeching and start clicking. I've gotten too many excuses like "I'm chatting on MSN...chill out" or "I'm doing the dishes". If you have to afk, don't join the game to begin with. If you have to afk for some emergency, click the exit button...you can do that while you are getting up to take care of the emergency. There are some people with lag issues, they usually say they have lag issues and struggle to keep their actions up. If they are trying then I would keep them alive. If they don't try, I don't.
I find the people in here that are attempting to brow beat people like me into taking "the high road" despicable. Ignoring someones bad behavior is the same as condoning it. Taking "the high road" requires you to do something about it, not pat yourself on the back because you are so nice. If they can leech their way to 71 without killing anything, you are doing them a disservice and the rest of the ls community by allowing it and not actively pursuading such behavior to stop.
