Guild Wars 2

Been getting more 4v5s and they are never fun. I heard A-net tried to fix this ridiculous problem but obviously it isn’t working. There should be much harsher punishments for people who aren’t present for majority of the game. It ruins people’s win-loss ratios and makes the game unplayable. So why hasn’t this been fixed? In a recent post there was talk about how there is much love for this game but this has been a persistent problem since the beginning so can we get a patch for this.

Pictures of a game where my team has 4 people against people of higher rank as well.

If you care about solo q you could care about the arctic monkeys too

Your right. It sucks. Hence why it has taken a decline is popularity. The match making issues, wait times and auto start with incomplete team for me, and others has resulted in I’d rather look for 5 vs 5 spvp matches. If you own most the Tpvp gear there is little to play for. As for leaderboards, I’m still uncertain of how they can have a ‘top’ soloQ player when it is a team pvp match.

Too many 4v5 these days, but it tends to be about players attitude too. I noticed each time there are 1-2 people loading at the end of the timer, and one is afk during at least 5mn ( this happens 50% of the time, and i’m not exaggerating)..

Timers are short( usually 10mn at worse, and that’s at top ranks..), so if people can’t even wait a few minutes…

4v5 ? pfff i say go 2v5 or go home

I don’t understand why anet doesn’t have a feature where if everyone doesn’t click ready before the game actually starts to make sure all 10 players are actually there. The game should not start at all if all 10 players are not present from the start it makes no sense. This would solve over half the 4v5/afker/etc issue

Well the current deserter buff has no effect whatsoever. Amazing how many people have “dcs” in spvp as opposed to about any other area of the game, isn’t it? My suggestion:

- If someone leaves before a game ends, they take the full hit to their rating upon loss, rest of the team keeps their old rating or gets a small loss at most. No gain upon win for the leaver.
- Leavers get a leaver count. And above a certain amount subsequently get teamed with other leavers against other leaver teams, regardless of rank.
- Leaver count only increases if leaving a game which your side is currently worse of point-wise. That should take care of about half of the real dcs already, as those tend to not depend on the points of your team (big surprise)
- Leaver count only diminishes if you stay until the end of a game you are losing

Finally, give people an indication that they have a leaver count going on. Maybe not the exact number, but make them aware of its existence and effects.
