Guild Wars 2

Just a simple suggestion. The daily which requires you to win as a certain class, it should be awarded to anyone who was on a winning team at any point during the match. Many of us abhor playing certain classes and want to minimise the time spent doing this daily, it’s infuriating when you are on a team that is the winning team but through spectate/auto balance abuse you can randomly be shuffled to the losing team at the last moment and be forced to miss out on your daily win.

In the past players were awarded with win “glory” if at any point during the match they were on the winning team. This should be the case now for the daily achievement.

you still get win reward if you get autobalanced to the losing team
actually it gives you a safe free win reward so it is always worth volunteering to go to the losing team

I should note, you need to volunteer for the autobalance to get the free win. If you don’t volunteer for it and get autobalanced anyway, you won’t get the credit.

So always volunteer.

This is exactly what’s wrong with the current hotjoin system. It punishes you randomly, so it’s best to simply leave the match if you get auto-balanced. There is no incentive to stay and keep playing for the losing team knowing that ANET just took away your win.

Auto-balance also takes too long. By the time it kicks in, there’s usually a 200-300 point lead and a 3-cap, which cannot be recovered from by evenly balanced teams. So, if you get forced onto the losing team, it’s a guaranteed loss.

All of this simply perpetuates the problem of uneven teams and landslide wins/losses. This is not a good entry point for new PvP players.
