Reset inactivity timer when an attack is blocked

[Malong]

Has it actually happened to you or someone in your game since 1.0.2?  Given those conditions that you have listed there?  Or does it just happen to people who don't want to move all game? 

Yes, it has happened since 1.0.2, these scenarios are not all hypothetical.

I have not seen a single wave go on for the amount of time for the AFK timer, without having to tome multiple times because of nearly wiping, in over a year.

Well, the AFK timer hasn't been in place for over a year...

And if it is to dangerous and long for you to try and kill the ranged as a shield wall,  WHY are you not repairing your shields after the wave.  I repair my shields after any wave that has cracked them in the slightest.

Nobody typed that it's dangerous for players to kill ranged as the shield wall. If you want to use a proof by contradiction, you have to use a point that someone has actually stated. Anyways, yes, shields are repaired when they're cracked, there are still waves where the shield is not cracked at all, so no repair is necessary and thus, during the next wave, the players in the shield wall will be considered inactive if they did not have the opportunity to kill remaining ranged bots, which is quite frequent considering everyone goes out at the end of waves. Are we to say "don't help them, save those bots or they'll be inactive?" Are we to then presume that everyone would coordinate and follow these directives?

Again, the root issue is players being considered inactive even when they contribute to the success of a game. And nobody has disputed that overzealously dealing with hypothetical AFK players has a high potential of excluding honest players from rewards, and/or encouraging players that play necessary classes from no longer performing those functions.
