Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Thought this could be something to do with the AB exploit but wasn’t sure. Recently I’ve seen times where people do the meta events right up to the octovine and then disappear or go afk.

Does this have to do with the multimapping stuff? Though would the multimapping crowd want to beat the octovine then do their map switching stuff?

Or is it that people figure there aren’t enough to beat the event to they just wp or go afk?

Just find it strange, but can understand if there aren’t enough people. You can do the metas and in the end have no chance to beat the octo. Happens in SW too.

They could have went AFK while waiting for the Octovine to start and then lost track of time. There have been occasions where I hop onto a map and then surf the Internet instead of waiting with the game on screen for 15 minutes.

I’ve never done the multi-map nonsense as I personally consider it an exploit and won’t abuse something like that (personal morals and all that). But I could totally see that being at least part of the cause for a couple of reasons, if I understand the way the method works.

People leaving right at the start could be the multi-map squad consolidating their forces into one instance in order to finish that one as fast as possible. Of course, one person from each other instance needs to stay behind to keep the way open for others, but everyone else could just cram into one for maximum speed.

And even if they don’t cram into one instance initially to finish one map ASAP and just stay spread out, as soon as one instance finishes everyone would flock to that instance to gather the chests, so that could lead to people disappearing mid-Octovine (especially if it looks like its already going to succeed).

It could also just be basic taxiing to other instances and not necessarily related to the multi-map, though. If people don’t see a lot of planning or a lot of people at the Tarir entrances, they might just go to LFG to find a “better” instance.

Most likely they are just LFGing into more active maps. Its a double edged sword. It allows people to easily get into active maps, however it also leaves a lot of maps mostly empty.

Hmm, all could be a possibility, thank you for the insight. I like the event because it can be pretty suspenseful at the end. At least you can get a good idea at the beginning if there is a good setup (numbers in the map, how much chatter, commander tag or not, etc.), so you don’t have to waste your time :/

Multiloot is over and people you have disappear is cause PVP they went into a PVP match.
