Yea, one does not need to be an absolute jerk in order to notice the very obvious afkers after 30+ minutes, especially as door knocking lessens. The occasional person going afk and stating it in chat is one thing (though there is a limit to this as with all group content in any game), but leeching is pathetic, no matter what benefit their mere presence may have on the event itself. Simply does not change the nature of the choice being made.
Also, if you are leading a league and trying to balance teams while keeping people relatively 'happy'; leechers make that a whole lot more difficult than it needs to be. It is a huge reason why consistency is so wildly different throughout the day. The most rewarding and action packed groups I have been in, had leaders who would privately message people to start participating, but kick them if they continued doing nothing. I see nothing wrong with that at all.
