Guild Wars 2

The amount of leaver/AFKer in pvp are so many and so anti fun, so I thought of a solution to afk/leaver.
When ever you do not engage combat for 5/3 mins, it counts as leave the game. You receive a 1 hour ban, if the player leave again in the following 10 matches the ban time double to 2 hours, if they leave again the amount is 4 hours. Every time they leave also receive a 2-5% reward track speed debuff, the debuff is stackable, if the player leave frequently (5 out of 10 matches) the debuff become permanent. That means if the player leave 5 out of their 10 matches they will receive a 2%x5=10% perm reward track debuff.
*This only apply to ranked matches.

Bit harsh, as sometimes people really do need to afk.

If something serious happened and i needed to immediately be away from the computer, the last thing i’d be thinking of is “oh, better leave the game first.”

Well, base on this punishment system if you just afk once or twice , its not a big deal.

What do you mean by a debuff to the reward track? That they lose progress or they gain progress slower?

So, permanent is permanent? Forever? That’s kind of harsh.

Generally you don’t want to hand out permanent, irreversible punishment unless you are completely done with them. Punishment with increasing severity, yes. But a permanent debuff with no way to work it off if you change your behavior is more likely to cause people to quit rather than reform.

Let’s face it, the people who afk/leave games often will not change, also this system only have big impact if you afk very often, it is their choice to ruin other’s experience and receive punishment , it’s not like someone is forcing them.

Also you only receive debuff if you afk/leave 5/10 games, the play have to TRY to achieve that perm debuff in order for it become possible.
