Declined [TF2] Allow players to opt out of auto-AFK

[herrshaun]

I don't know how hard this would be to implement, but I would like an option to opt out of automatically being controlled by an AFK bot, and simply being booted after X seconds instead. I don't know how popular this would be but there is definitely a niche for it.

 

[Drezki]

Please. I hate the auto AFK bots.

You either AFK Bot or be kicked for being AFK in the server

That's what I mean - I would rather be booted right away when the AFK bot system would normally kick in.

I'm surprised. Why do you prefer to be kicked than being bot-controlled?

I actually care about my stats, the bots are horrendous. I can easily get a 50/10 or something K/D ratio, then take a phone call or something and come back to a 51/60 K/D ratio. I'd also rather be kicked.

I'd prefer kicking to be the default and make the bot opt-in.

Our current bots are pretty dumb-- if anything they can be more harmful than Friendlies in certain situations, i.e. being able to initiate an engagement as Kunai+DB Spy with an easy backstab.

Ah that's interesting. I didn't realise there were stats. Valid point.

Not just the K/D ratio, but by taking control of you they also level your stranges for you, which I dislike.

Just disconnect if you don't like it.

With the support this has, why would you decline this?

It's not that much support, only 8 people from the entire player base. But I hate AFK bots, they aren't team players and their melee just seems brutal to me.
