Yeah, lots of players even from retail just log in to afk in PvP instances when they don't have time for actual battles to grab some easy AP/medals. When Neverwind Canyon was added, they put in a kick option, but you could apply whenever you felt like it. Players afk in PvP and it's all too common. Nobody really cares about it on retail since it’s the norm if you’re using solo or quick entry.

Also, there's a way to boot afk or undesirable players, it's forming your own group.
I’ve been having a way better experience on Aion Riftshade. It's set to launch in Q1 2026 and honestly, the server is a huge step up. They have active GMs and devs on Discord and features like a server-side anticheat. No more dealing with AFK players ruining the fun! I can’t wait for it to go live.
