after around 5 mins of holding a spot, shooting targets through scoped mode, i get this message saying im being kicked for idle-ing.

kinda bad if youre in the middle of a battle, covering your team mates then suddenly getting kicked.

shooting through scope, and killing 3 enemies should'nt cause the system toi detect that you're idle.

Interesting, Does this happen if you move around even  a bit? i have yet to see this happen to me, However i always get other players after me.
This is basically a guy, and there's 3 humans here, basically trying to make a warning, you know, saying "I kill 3 humans, watch out for me."

never seen this, normally it shouldn't trigger the system to kick you, did you move whilst firing or did you stay stationary, thare may be a bug tying the trigger to movemet

This happened to someone else, somewhere on the forum, when they sat in one spot and sniped. They were shooting frequently, but didn't move from their spot.

I prefer to play with Sharpshooter and this never happened to me. It is true that I do not just stand in one position during camping.

Camper kicking. I love it. Can this be a feature please and not a bug?

I have a level 20 Sharpshooter and I have never resorted to camping in one spot an entire match, as a result, I've never been kicked for idling either.

Ooh, a mouse. I wonder how tiny and clever it is.

With games like this, you're either really clever, have really terrible aim, or have a really bad connection to have no reason to move. If you're stationary for five minutes, I think that's more than enough time to warrant an autokick.

And it's a good thing, too. If you end up getting called off to, say, wash some dishes and you can't just leave, the autokick will save your stats from getting too horribly mangled.

Think about it.

I agree with Inny, I like this "bug". It keeps things going.

That's really interesting! Guess I'll stop trying to sneak up on Snipers with my Berserker then. Just let them get kicked out, haha!
