Guild Wars 2

I am new to the game. I was playing PvP and twice it happened that I got auto-transferred to the loosing team. I am just clueless as how that can happen! Feeling confused and frustrated.

Please help me avoid such situations if I am doing anything incorrect.

That’s how it works. It’s called auto balancing. There are criteria on who will be picked but it’s normally the one with least to somewhat high contribution to the team. The lower time you spend on the team also increases your chance of getting picked. If you’re in the team for just one or two mins, you will almost always get picked.

So unchecking auto-balancing can help avoid this?

You can’t avoid it when playing in Hot join or play now matches, at least not the ranked ones. If you want to avoid auto-balance you have to play “Real” pvp in either Unranked or Ranked matches.

You were in hotjoin, the last one to join the winning team. When it said, “volunteer” you didn’t.

Since they needed to even the teams and you were the last one to join, you got kicked to the other team.

So if you were the last one to join, just press volunteer. It still counts as a win and gives you winner’s rewards.

Thanks I got the idea. I didnt got any notification of volunteer but suddenly got transferred. Anyways I will try to avoid Hotjoin here on. Thanks.
