There are many times I see someone afk without logging off in game. It doesn't matter in MV but in scenario, it sucks.
Personally, I would suggest an afk player (doing nothing, no chat, in both game and lobby) will automatically log off from game after a period of time. Perhaps 30 mins.
Of course the one who's afk in an open location will be punished. But for some case, another player figure out then switch faction and kill. It's exploitation, but hard to trace. However, prevention is better than punishment, I believe.
After all, automatically log-off after a period of time is a good, not only for the players, but also for server.

Players should log-off if they're going to go afk. Takes two clicks.

I personally love going afk sitting next to Michelle in the MV quite confident that i'll probably be alive when I get back lol
But yeah, it is easy to log off if you're going afk. If you don't then you can suffer the penalties of dying while afk.

the issue he is talking about is in the Scenario servers. It is a issue because if you have say 2 people on ur team go afk... that is less people you get to have on your side. it hurts you factions ability to win the scenario severely especially if its a high ranked player that goes afk..sense the balance system is based on Total players prestige and not count. I think its a good idea for the scenario server
