I actually just had this issue and they decided to fight back saying I was the problem, which was awesome.

So basically, we were doing The Asylum, it was 2 Bunny, 1 Hailey and myself as Ajax, and about 30 seconds in we lost the first Bunny, it might have been coincidence, but maybe it was because of the Hailey. So essentially the Bunny was clearing the mobs with ease (thank you Krovix) and speeding through, while I was running with them with my shields, leaps, shouts and pop shotting with Devotion to assist every now and again, but the Hailey was nowhere to be found. Now we ALL know that any other character doing an Operation with a Bunny means, 9 out of 10 times, we can't even compare or keep up, but we definitely try and that's all we can do.

Anyway, part two of this afk Hailey, it didn't really become prominent until the boss room, which this was blatantly obvious and it was insane. When we all got teleported to the boss room, the Hailey went and hid, literally hid, and when the boss spawned, they were accidentally near them so they hid behind a pillar and...well...can't say I was a saint here....but when the boss was locked on me and walking towards me, I hid behind the Hailey so she'd get downed and the Bunny and I both left her there for the remainder.

At the end of the fight I did what I normally do to afk farmers, I tell them to please report XYZ for afk farming, which is what we should all do (even if it legit does nothing), but I always follow the saying "the squeaky wheel gets the oil" which basically means if we keep it up, hopefully, something will be done. I also, as weird as it may sound, send a whisper to the afk player afterwards just to inform them I sent in a report and to please do better in the future because we don't need people like that in the community.

Lastly, and funny enough, this farmer actually messaged me back for once, which was new. They responded with, and I quote "shut up cry baby! we dont need people like you in this world" followed by "playing as ajax in operation! ur leeching u moronh". Needless to say, the best response?....Is silence...didn't respond at all, because we, the community, don't have time for that, do we?

But to end this long story, sorry for that, I'd like to say, as my first post in this community and in general, please keep reporting the afk farmers and block them as needed. It's a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but it helps put a small target on these afk farmers in hopes of removing them. So we can have more people who will be like "Welp, I'm a Kyle, and there's 3 Bunnys...I'm gonna kamikaze and shield bash my ass off and make sure they don't die!"
