We need a brb/afk message or icon or something. People think im being rude not responding.

You know what would be really cool - if people just left the CTF game BEFORE they go AFK.

LOL - Gotcha!

If you sensed a little frustration in my comment, it is because last night I joined game after game in CTF only to find one or two people on my team either AFK, or chatting with others while my team was being torn apart.

So is he saying that for towns and guild halls have an "Out-of-Office" autoreply? Makes sense I guess. Usually when I go AFK, I log out though - if for no other reason than to save my battery.

I often play on pc and find it annoying to have to reload the whole game, so I just leave it on. And then you do get players annoyed by not replying to them...

Would be great as an emote.

Or a "sit" will do.

I've seen how this turns out in other games/sites. The result is that many players just stay logged in 24/7 with away messages up. It just causes an extra unneeded strain on their servers. That's why you probably won't see this ever.
