Guild Wars 2

I am pretty sure we had that one person in the team typing ‘afk we lose this anyway’, while you are 100 point behind. I was wondering if the developers are going to do anything about this. For people who are actually trying to win the game this can be very frustrating.

Anyone else sharing the same opinion?

The only solution is to punish them, which could lead to them not playing anymore.
Maybe thats good or maybe its bad.
I know most on here want to punish them but I also know that the devs are hesitant to because losing players can equal lost revenue.

Not punishing them will lead to people who will play a whole match quitting. Would you rather keep the players that behave poorly or the ones that behave well? There are other game modes for them.

It is very frustrating. I can’t stand that kind of behavior, especially because you can often come from behind in a match. I’ve been down by as much as 200+ and won. Just because you’re losing doesnt always mean the other team is more talented. Often, it’s just because of bad strategy or rotations, and if you’re team wisens up, they can rally from behind.

Plus I’m competitive and I dont like to just quit. I know it can be frustrating if you’re losing bad, but you can still develop as a player by persisting.
