Guild Wars 2

So, while they AFK at spawn, we lose and I’ve had my time wasted and my progress – slow as it may be – affected. Reported the player, but what is the repercussion for that player? And, if it’s already spelled out somewhere, could someone link that for me?

Cause, if someone impedes my ability to watch a movie, they get thrown out of the theater. If someone’s obnoxious at a concert, they’re escorted out. But, in pvp we have to put up with them being AFK AND we get to be penalized, too. Really, ANet?

As far as I know because it happens so frequently, you don’t lose any points for losing with a dc in your team.

The other sort of people who do afk in base and wait it out, best you can do is report them for match manipulation/idle player across the 4 games you get them and hope for the best.

Not a dc being talked about here. It is an active player not playing actively – AFK, standing at spawn. Or, one that yells at whole team and then goes and stands at spawn. Done to punish the whole team they believe are deserving of this one player’s punishment. And ANet, by the way they have this designed is culpable.

As for DC, had a player out for 2 minutes and returned to game with an apology rather than just staying Dc’d and saving the rest of us a loss of points. Nope – selfishly protected himself from dishonor but cost the 4 of us our points.
