Stop nudging teammates, stop kicking them, stop running into a big melee clusterfuck and stop hitting around like a crazy guy and you will not "make" people report you for zero dmg. I wasn't reported once since that changed (and rarely before).
Learn to play carefully, there must not be 10 guys going for 2 attackers in a siege defense near a gate.
There was a reason why this was added and changed. There MUST be a reason why you get reported for up to 5 times and get kicked after that, you obviously deserve it. If a teammate reports you for a nudge/kick/teamhit that cause 0 dmg and which was actually not aimed at him, back up, fight somewhere else. Don't be so ignorant to create a thread like this.
It's also obviously the right of a guy to report you if you hit him. How can you do that up to 5 times to get kicked. If it's less, it doesn't even matter.
I do not report for that in a fight of course, but if you run up to me and randomly nudge me and I do not even know you, it's a report. And yes, I can do that. Teamhits deserve to be reported (not banned for).
This is effectively stupid for those times where its a narrow hallway and people try to overhead and bounce off the guy hugging their ass.
I understand why they put this in, but this really was not thought out too well if you ask me.
True enough though, but for every problem there's a solution, e.g. back up in a narrow hallway, just join another fight.
