Should ZOS implement an "auto-accept" setting for Dungeons/BGs?

JamuThatsWho

I know there's an addon for it, but should it be made into a proper in-game toggleable setting? After all, there's an auto-decline duel option.

Yes

there is an addon that already does it.

I mentioned that.

Yes

took them 4+ years to make their own AwesomeGuildStore in to the game...I think for that option alone we need at least 2 years.

I'd go the opposite route and just remove the ready check. The ready check causes way more problems than it solves (looking at you, Undaunted event with infinite ready check loop). If you queue for it, it drags you in when you're good to go. By definition, I should be ready if I'm in the queue.

No, it would defeat the purpose of having the Ready Check which ensures people are paying attention and actually.... ready.

That doesn't mean the Ready Check doesn't have bugs, but those can be ironed out without them removing it. Personally, I'd rather have it bugs and all, then have to worry about vote-kicking AFK players.

Sounds like you want people to get an afk in their battlegrounds.
I wouldn't mind autoaccept for Cyrodiil to be honest. It sucks when you are #114 in queue and start doing other stuff only to lose track of the queue and leave the room just at the wrong moment. Dungeons I could live with, since people can be kicked from those.
But for Battlegrounds? Please no!

Yes

For dungeons, yes. Why even queue if you're not ready??

And yet so many people do. I was wondering how I kept getting stuck with them. Reading here, now I know it's from some add-on letting people bypass the Ready Check.

So you're saying you want a feature that automatically accepts a queue regardless if you're actually there or not? Doesn't that sound stupid to you? So what you want is a feature that say, I go afk for 30 minutes but got a queue within those 30 min, that me and everyone else would be teleported to the dungeon? But wait, I got the queue 5 min in, so you mean to tell me you want a feature that literally accepts queues for all AFK people so that you have to kick those same AFKers and wait in the dungeon instead for a new member to join that could also be AFK?

And you don't see a problem with that? Smh...

Just because you queue up doesn't mean you are "ready" when the queue happens, especially true the longer the queue wait time is. I don't know of anyone that waits for a queue while doing literally nothing else.

The only time an auto accept feature would be applicable is if you are actively paying attention to the alerts and playing, in which case you can take the 1 second out of your day to click a button that says you're ready.

If it fails to group you, it's because someone else was not ready and if it constantly fails that just goes to show how frequent you would have an AFKer in your group with an auto accept function. Count me down for a solid No lol

Edit: I didn't see the part of it being toggleable, but my point still stands. I don't see a point to this at all

Something to keep in mind is the Ready Check was released Q1 2017 with the Homestead patch. It was listed under the header New Features/Big Changes and was specifically implemented because the player base was begging for a fix for the large amount of players queueing for a dungeon but then going AFK.

So this is a feature that ZOS made for us, because we asked them to in order to fix a common problem. It was considered one of the big QOL features of that quarter much like the Guild Trader upgrades that are coming this year. It is highly doubtful they would take two steps backwards by adding an option to allow players to bypass it.

This was my thought exactly. Someone queues for a BGpr a dungeon, goes afk for whatever reason, queue pops, auto accept aceepts and now the grouo is stuck with one afk person who may or may not return. Honestly, that addon shouldn't exist either.

rumple9

Yes

Which add-on does this ?

Yes

BTW
there is an addon that gives you auto accept option for BG/Cyro queue

Well, if you are a tank or healer, you get a queue pretty quickly, but if you are a DPS, you could be in a queue for a while.

Now imagine that while you are waiting, you are doing something, like questing or gathering, and you're right in the middle of a fight or opening a chest when you get pulled into a dungeon.

Or you've been in the queue for half an hour and you need to use the washroom or your kid wants something or the dog needs to go out and you go afk without leaving the queue and your team is left with an afk person when they could have timed out and just got the next one instead.

I mean, sure, ideally, if you queue, you should be ready, but life happens.
