Pokémon UNITE: Serious AFK Issues and Unfair Penalty System
Spragels criticizes Pokémon UNITE's weak penalty system for AFK (away from keyboard) players, pointing it out as a major problem that harms the game's fairness and enjoyment. He emphasizes that the penalties for AFK behavior are too weak, do not prevent malicious play, and rather penalize normal players.
1. 🎮 Problems with AFK issues and the reporting system in the game
- ✅ Two players in the game went AFK.
- ⚠️ Points out the problem that players who leave the game are not immediately processed even if reported.
- ⚠️ In the past, there was a confirmation message for report submissions, but it has now disappeared.
- ✅ A situation occurred where points were not deducted despite losing due to AFK.
- ✅ It seems that only the penalty for short-term AFK has been changed, but he points out the problem that all AFKs are currently treated as short-term.

2. 😡 Weak penalties for AFK and potential for abuse
- 😡 Strongly criticizes the fact that the penalty for AFK is only a deduction of '2 fair play points'.
- ✅ If the fair play points drop below 89, you will not be able to receive daily rewards, but even if you AFK multiple times, you will not be immediately banned from ranked games.
- ✅ Points out that sanctions against intentional griefing are insufficient, and that you are rarely punished for ruining the game.
- ✅ Some users use methods to avoid AFK by moving in the spawn area.
| Fair Play Points | Sanctions |
|---|---|
| 89 points or less | Suspension of daily fair play point rewards (20 coins) |
| 79 points or less | Cannot participate in ranked games |
