MW3 players tired of “grindy” Battle Pass turn to AFK farming
Not too long to go before the April 3 release of MW3 Season 3, and this means more players will be hopping into the shooter to tie up some loose ends of Season 2. This, of course, means players will attempt to level up the Battle Pass as much as they can.
But you can’t breeze past all the sectors without investing a certain amount of time in MW3, and this has led to players AFK farming their way, and it is ruining experiences for some.
Reddit user ‘Pretend_River9959’ pointed this out in the ModernWarfareIII subreddit, asking devs to do “something about macro abuse XP Farm.”
While many are visibly frustrated, they believe Activision are also to blame, as their design choices for Battle Pass are promoting this behavior: “What happens when devs make the battle pass system based on time played and not kills.”
Another user said, “It’s what happens when you lock content behind game time. I don’t begrudge someone trying to get the stuff out of the battle pass that they’ve paid for.”
If you’re inactive for too long, MW3 usually boots you out, however, if you put in some input, like going back and forth, you’ll not be kicked and will gain all the participation XP. To make it easier, some use Macros, which will basically press the menial inputs for you.
Players claim these are rampant in infected mode, as the OP commented, “It’s getting ridiculous in infected game mode. Almost always, 10% of the lobby is just AFK macro-abusing…” But many argued that they aren’t the problem, if anything needs re-evaluation, it is Battle Pass, “I’d rather not want them to do anything about this. It’s a solid way to farm the Battlepass which is f**king grindy anyway.”

fun fact doing this will get you banned,
also the battlepass doesnt even take much to level up, i finished mine within the first week of the release of the recent one.
if you have to cheat just to level up a pointless thing that adds nothing of value, not a single soul i know likes the black cell garbage,
and the whole battlepass system is pointless.
i should know that this gets you banned because people report and they take reporting seriously,
as i gotten banned 2x automatic voice ai, and once doing the away from controller(afc) which got me a longer ban then i expected.
so yeah just play the fking game instead of letting your team down,
if youre not going to play the game then you shouldnt have turned it on and looked for a match then.
