Guild Wars 2

I know this has been brought up many times, but seriously what is going to be done about the times when you q up and enter a tournament only to find (for what seems like the 100000th time) that its your team 4 vs their team 5. It happens way to often (at least for me, and I’m sure for many others).

If the devs even play pvp at all, they’d know how totally unfair 4 v 5 is in a TEAM ORIENTATED PVP system. This game isn’t designed for 1 pro player who can take on the likes of 2-3 decent/good players and give them a somewhat fair fight. The lost of even one person practically changes the course of the outcome before the match even starts. This also goes both ways, if its your team 5 vs 4 its practically a free win.

Anyway what I really to know is anything going to be done to fix this? Theres a window of 2 minutes before the match even starts, there are many things you can do to prevent uneven team fights. I’ll give some examples of the top of my head

- After 1 minute if the other person is not in, replace with someone else who has queued up. Maybe add a little checkbox in the quick tournament menu that lets them know that they only have 1 minute to accept the invite and that they need to have it checked and if they check it they are available to replace other people who don’t show up. Or even make this automatic for everyone.

- After 30 seconds or so (or even if the game starts) and it stays 4v5 and the other person is not even logged in, why not just abandon the game and put everyone back in queue? Nobody wants to play 4 v 5 unless maybe they are a premade of 4.

So hopefully something is done, because to say it doesn’t happen is to say you will never fix it.

I’ve spot one of the cause of 4v5. It happened several times to me:

when I try to whisper the missing random member in the roster to push him to join, I find out that he’s actually in the opposite team, so probably that missing member has come up in two different random roster.

Got 4 in our team 3x in a row. We won 2 tho.

I had four 4on5 , and 1 3on5 matchs today in a row. two where people who quit during the course of the match.

Tehy really need to level a 1 hour tourny ban on ppl who quit or afk out of matchs.
