  • About Battleground Leecher Reporting
  •  

Battleground Leecher Reporting will assist with reporting those players who are AFKing/Leeching in a battleground. When you hit the "Check Leechers" button you'll be provided with a list of (5 at a time) current suspected leechers who you can then choose to report or "ignore".

Reported players are instantly reported using the new PVP AFK reporting feature in 2.2. Ignored players are removed from the list until the next leecher check.

The addon obviously cannot be fully tested until 2.2 is released, but if you want to give it a whirl on the test servers and report bugs so that it's ready for patch day then go ahead!

Enjoy :)

    What is the command to get the window back up? it's gone and will not come back up.

    Played another AV weekend this weekend and got a bit sick of reporting 1 by 1 myself soo, so I'll get stuck into another version soon that autoreports all the 0/0 people and gives a list of the "undecided" ones for you to work on yourself.

    Lost count of how many times I reported myself because I joined a BG after it started and hadn't made it to the battlefront yet. lol

    Here's a list of the other mods for this category in alphabetically order that I have found:

    BATTLEGROUND LEECHER REPORTING gathers data of possible afk'ers and lets you decide who to report. - http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/9026/

    BG REPORTER seems to do the same as the above - http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/9510/

    CATTLEPROD auto-reports afk'ers instead of manually selecting from a generated list. It has different modes for the various BGs. -
    http://www.wowinterface.com/download...682-1.2.1.html

    CAVE DEFENDERS - Reports "cave defenders" in the battlegrounds. The interesting thing about this one is that it tells you how many on both factions. -
    http://www.wowinterface.com/download...Defenders.html

    SNITCH is one of the older mods based on ticket reporting. It hasn't been updated since the new report feature but bears mentioning in case the author ever decides to update it. - http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/7252/

    I have this and use it in WSG and AB.

    For AV, I use Cattleprod because it reports them automatically. http://code.google.com/p/cattleprod/downloads/list

    Not sure which I'm going to use for EoTS. Nice to see many authors working on these types of mods!

    Works a treat XD thank you for this, it's just the kind of addon that anyone who's doing battlegrounds should get. The "Anti-AFK" patch was all well and good.... but unfortunately the systems only as good as the people who use it and most imo have gotten sick of reporting AFKers :( certainly gonna recommend this addon to my guild, like I said a must for PvPers.

    Thanks again.

    Sitanel.

    Why even bother worrying if they are really AFK...once they move or do something, it removes the AFK debuff. My own personal opinion would be EVERYONE starts a BG as AFK, and if you are idle for 3 min (or 5 or whatever it is( or no damage/healing is done)) the debuff automatically re-applies. Maybe Blizz can setup a penalty system for those that are busted for too many AFK's and locked out of that BG for a week. For those that move and hide somewhere so they are not readily noticable as AFKers

  • Oct. 1, 2007, 11:41PM (9 months, 1 week ago)

    Are people actually getting reported for AFK with the addon? I can report somebody who I know is AFKing, but they never get the debuff even after I call out the AFKer to the /bg channel. If I do this through the map or the raid listing, it works, though. Maybe it's just me?

    The idea behind it is great, though, but it could easily handle a couple more features, like: 1. Reporting all AFKers with one click. 2. Reporting known AFKers after the first minute or two of battle rather than waiting 5 (which would mean storing their names and the ability to edit the list). 3. The ability to move the button around a little easier. There is like 1 pixel's width to grab, LOL 4. Announcing to the battleground the names of AFK people and which group number and/or location to make it easier for other players to report.

    I have noticed one bug, though. Sometimes after you click the button and the list comes up, after you close it, the button is no longer viewable. I'm sure you could issue the /bglr command, but I never tried.

    As for the design and layout, I think you've done a great job. Well done!

    Opens when I go in arenas, and doesn't scale / do all the pretty things that ace addons generally do. Works well though, looking forward to a new version that has more options.

  • Sept. 29, 2007, 07:35AM (9 months, 1 week ago)

    Tarz;

    TY VERY MUCH.

    Looking forward to "a button to auto-report all the 0/0 people".

    Thanks again for your work here,

    Pel

  • Sept. 27, 2007, 01:03PM (9 months, 1 week ago)

    Hey,

    Very nice ty much for this.

    Do we have a 'REPORT ALL' feature?

    It seems that may be helpful.

    Maybe just 5 at a time or whatever you decide is appropriate.

    Thanks again!

  • Sept. 27, 2007, 09:54PM (9 months, 1 week ago)

    Now I've seen how the function works in the real world (Ie, they didn't change it for final release) I can add a button to auto-report all the 0/0 people. I don't think I'll add autoreporting on the others since it sometimes takes a bit of personal judgement to see if they're leeching or not.

    /bglr doesn't work anymore - you're right on that. I'll clean up the interface a touch and release a final 1.0 as soon as I can get around to it. Got a sister in law that's ready to drop my first niece so bit of a hectic schedule atm ;)

  • Sept. 27, 2007, 08:46AM (9 months, 1 week ago)

    Command /bglr doesnt work and there are no players in the frame even if there are some leecher in BG!!!

    HELP!!! and answers

    I'm using Beta 0.2 Possible beacause of using a German Version of WoW???

  • Sept. 26, 2007, 10:28PM (9 months, 1 week ago)

    Glad to hear it's working for you guys - was a bit of a worry that patch day would roll along and it'd go to hell! lol

    You can move the "Check Leechers" button by dragging JUST outside of the button - the frame (although invisible) is about 5 pixels extended past the button itself. Gonna make that a bit friendlier in a future version (and give some way to "close" the button - you don't need it in every BG every time :o). I'll possibly look into how to code "yet another" minimap button and get it on there instead - I feel that'd be a more appropriate home rather than taking up valuable screen real estate.

    I'd love to put a scrollbar on the leecher report window, but I have to confess I wouldn't have the foggiest how to go about it. I never mastered dynamic lists with scrollbars :( As it stands now, when you report or ignore those 5 you see on the list they're replaced with the next batch. Any you "ignore" are re-added next time you check for leechers.

  • Sept. 26, 2007, 05:50PM (9 months, 1 week ago)

    Some observations I made while using this mod today in AV

    Listing 5 people in the BGLR window is too few. Maybe list more and put in scroll bars or an option to only show ppl that have done zero dmg and healing.

    Future feature request. BGLR can monitor player dmg and healing and notify you if someone has not done any dmg or healing in say 5 minutes. This needs to take into consideration if someone just joined the BG. Cahnces he will spend at least 5 min running to the battle.

    Other than that, the mod works well. Thanks for writin it :)

  • Sept. 25, 2007, 10:06PM (9 months, 1 week ago)

    love it! works good, too.

    only two things: - how do i move the check leechers button?`it's stuck in the middle of the screen for me. the opened window when i click on it it movable.

    - in 3 AV the button disappeared after some time, no idea why and how i could get it back.

    great add on though, keep going!

  • Sept. 16, 2007, 02:12PM (9 months, 3 weeks ago)

    lots of AV take less than 20 min and end with 400-500 honor. unless you purposely hang back on defense you WILL NOT see any opposition players to kill, just the npcs. Also, lvl 61s+ can enter, with correspondingly less damage.

    if you think everyone with less than 40,000 (or 20,000 after just the first few min when SH/IB are hit) is a "leecher" you need you head examined.

  • Sept. 16, 2007, 02:39PM (9 months, 3 weeks ago)

    Well lets say you are right, which i doubt. WoW's new anti-leatch system only puts a debuff on the person so they don't get honor, but once they engage in a real fight that debuff will be removed, so worse case is if some one (in your straw man) was reported x number of times and got the debuff and they were in fight, then the debuff would instanly be removed, so no harm done, the only ones it really would get are the cave farmers.

  • Sept. 16, 2007, 01:23AM (9 months, 3 weeks ago)

    I tend to add variables into my second releases once testing is out the way - the leech "line" is definately something I want to be configurable because otherwise leechers will get used to where people draw their lines and sit right on it ;p

    You'll notice in the screenies I'm a paladin - normally tankadin but when I PvP I respec holy. Of course I wouldn't forget the healers :D

  • Sept. 15, 2007, 12:53AM (9 months, 3 weeks ago)

    I like how you added healing done. I have been accused of leatching because some one looked only at damage done, and since I am a healer, my damage done was at 0 but my healing done was over 100K. Thanks for remembering there are us healers out here. Also maybe you could make that constant (100) a configurable paramater, would think 50 is good, but that is just my thoughts.

  • Sept. 5, 2007, 09:26PM (10 months ago)

    Hi, I couldn't test your addon but I look at your code.

    Five minute before allowing report -------> good


    Healing+Dmg > Bonus Honor * 100 -----> good, almost fullproof you have to kill a lot of wolf to keep up so can't afk.

    For me 100x is a good choice...maybe a little higher (need a little of testing). but when you play for real it's very easy to attain that.

    so far great job. :)

    edit : did some more test and the BonusHonor * 100 was very easy to keep up playing for real.  :)
