Auto-balancer should not change you to a different team while you’re in combat. It’s extremely frustrating to be punished just because other people decided to quit mid-match. Even more frustrating, this has happened to me several times while carrying the orb.

Thing is people join winning team on purpose, its glory farming. The people leaving are people trying out pvp. Its old news that people stack team to farm other people for glory. The developers didn’t want hotjoins to be newb friendly hence why they added you chose your team in hotjoins. If your smart you’ll pick the team the rank 67 guy is on, or the team that has people with 300+ glory.

You guys need to realize thakittens going to be harder to get glory. Its insanely easy to get now, hence why several people are higher ranks than the top 10 in NA and top 10 EU. The highest rank people don’t play tpvp because you cant farm newbs in tpvp, tpvp glory reward is a joke compared to how you can get it by farming newbs…. 400 glory + booster is like what 600+ glory a game. OR you can get 150 glory avg a tpvp game with glory booster making it 225 glory plus 200 glory reward making it 425 glory a game, plus that wait time makes it so you get hotjoin glory twice before you get the tpvp glory, so its like 1200+ glory hotjoin in amount of time to get tpvp 425 glory. No wonder people on top 10 leaderboards are still in there 50s while hotjoiners are in the 60s.

As always I enjoy posting this img, I’d post a new one but I just haven’t been playing GW2 as much lately… I should farm glory though before they put some limit on glory in hotjoins.

But yeah, there shouldn’t be a autobalance, because we don’t want to make this game newb friendly, we want to have 0 growth and make newbs not welcomed as in stacking teams and DOMINATING there kitten.

A rank 1 shouldn’t be playing in hotjoin, its not friendly to you. Go play some tournaments instead. Learn how game works in tournament play, than when you figure it out come to hotjoin and farm dumb rank 1s that think hotjoin is for them.

Team stacking is a huge problem in hotjoins. I see people switch to the winning team every single match. I also see people camping spectator mode to see which team comes out ahead in the first few minutes and joining that team.

It’d be nice if we got GW1’s random arenas as an option for hotjoin. Random team, random map, no team stacking. The dishonor system from GW1 would also be nice: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dishonor

It’s surprising that so many of these features are missing from GW2.

I agree, very disappointing how Gw1 had perfectly made features and Gw2 doesn’t even bother with them.

Wow people actually switch teams to try to win a hotjoin? That’s really sad…

I’m usually the one volunteering myself to go to the losing team. What’s life without a challenge?

Exactly. GW1 had 1-click random arenas. Theres nothing like that in GW2.

Someone actually started a thread about that specific issue here.

It is sad indeed. Let’s hope Anet can solve this issue.

I think it’s a little late for them to start worrying about how to get people into sPvP. They’ve made numerous decisions that seem designed specifically to chase people out of it.

I would have liked to get good at the sPvP side of the game, but currently there’s no solo-queue option that gives me space to learn. I use auto-join, have fun for a minute or two, then get steamrolled as the teams instantly fill up with Champions or empty out because one side is losing. Occasionally my team is the lucky one that gets all the Champs that are obviously coordinating in Mumble, but who wants to get carried by 3-4 people while learning nothing?

So, I don’t do sPvP anymore. And I won’t. Because it isn’t fun, and getting farmed isn’t what I want to do with my spare time.

I only bother to write this message because I know this forum is likely frequented by people already invested in the sPvP side and I thought they might want to know why there are so few new people bothering with it.
