Guild Wars 2

The best thing to do is to capture close then afk there. In terms of effort per reward

Presumably the reason to not AFK every match is because you’re playing the game to have fun rather than fill out icons in your bank/wardrobe.

A few reasons. One you ruin the experience for your fellow gamers. And if you any self respect as a human being youl see why that should be avoided.

Two. This is a game. Not work. This isn’t like wasting time at work playing solitaire waiting for your shift to end. This is supposed to be what your doing to waste time. And again. Other people are also trying to enjoy the time there wasting. You copping out cause things aren’t going well kittens that up for everyone else. In this case if your not enjoying simply don’t reque for awhile until your in the mood to pvp.

Three. It sounds like your not used ot using your build in the new meta. Keep at it and you find your niche. I hear thief is in a rough place atm but if you give up now you probably won’t preform well when it gets buffed (relative to other profs) ANYWAY.

Four. The dishonor system will be coming with leagues. If your first impulse is to have a hissy fit and afk every time you don’t get your wah wah your gonna do it later and kitten yourself and anyone you happen to be in a party with att over.

First of all, thanks for your reply.

Let’s assume I don’t care what the PvP community thinks about me. That takes care of point one.

Second, if I can read a book or do something else while afk, it doesn’t really affect me one way or the other. Not sure I understand your work/play argument, as I can do something I enjoy while afk and still accrue points.

Third, I’m not a good player. I don’t think I ever will be at this point. I’ve done marginally better with other classes/builds (fighters, engis, etc) but not significantly better. I’ve been playing PvP in a pretty dedicated fashion for a while now and my win ratio is not getting better. With my chosen build, there IS no adapting to the new meta. Everything melts me. I’ll keep trying to get better though, at least for awhile.

Fourth, IF and when the dishonor system comes, that will be a reason to not afk. Yes.

Also, this is not an emotional point I’m making. I’m an average-to-bad player (blame on my skills, blame it on my build, doesn’t matter) and probably always will be. I’m fine with that. I don’t throw hissy fits when my team is losing, I always play to the end unless the score is something ridiculous like 300-10.

I just want to know, logically, if I’m working on a certain reward track and can get points by just going afk, why not? As a bad player I mean.

Point one is not “handled” unless you agree that you have no self-respect as a human being.
