I feel like idlers/afkers are getting out of hand this season. I realize that it’s going to happen, and that it’s inevitable. However, when I meet the same people who ruin the rest of our time over and over it starts to get infuriating.

I have this one player who, no joke, been placed in the same team over 10 teams since the start of the new season. Everytime, when the first fight mid fails he just says “afk noobs” and sits in spawn spouting insults in either broken English or in Spanish. We’ve all reported him, and yet he still continues to ruin our night. It’s gotten so bad that I’ve had to add him on my friend’s list so I can que dodge him. It doesn’t work sometimes, as I got him AGAIN tonight and he did the same thing.

The kicker? This kid got the title for top 250 pvpers from last season. It’s mind boggling.

I understand people will spam the report on those they dont like, which makes it difficult. But from what I’ve seen the system isn’t automated, so what’s taking so long? Or is this truly what the state of sPvP has become?

No wonder a lot of the good players just won’t participate this season.

Funny, I think I met the guy you’re talking about. At the start of the game, we lost the skirmish for mid, leading to the guy just standing at spawn and calling us all “Trolls”. We lost the match in the high two hundreds in what ended up being a 4v5 – leading one to question, who was the real troll?

People quitting an ongoing match, however hopeless, shouldn’t be acceptable in ranked play.

Had a few games where ppl simply “left” just after the match started as never came back. Too common to be d/cs. Been reporting every single one but yeah….

Feels like the whole “report” option just goes to some “spam” folder.

Wouldn’t surprise me, he’s pretty active and has played 180+ games according to my leaderboard.

Worst part is I can’t call him out on the forums, because it’s against the rules and the mods are (thankfully) pretty active here. I’ve already seen a dude show a screencap of his own version of my guy in the act, but the poster is the one that gets his comments deleted. The actual offender? Still going strong.

I guess I’m just bitter, because with no statement from Arenanet and this clearly having done this for multiple seasons in a row it seems like a lost cause. Which is a shame, because this is (was?) my favorite gamemode.

That’s definitely the feeling I’m getting as well.

Players are allowed to troll the game, but not the forums.

Goofy Anet logic.
