It has been going on a while but it’s been worse this season. I had a guy tell me in a match last night that he cant be bothered to play, he watches anime while he racks up pips for the ascended loot. Couldn’t care less if we won or not, not interested. It’s just something we have to live with. Oh and I’d edit his name out, you will get into more trouble posting his id than he will for afking.

Yeah that dude’s been doing this for a while. Honestly not surprised he’s not banned, as reports seem to mean nothing

It would be cool if ANet could come up with a fair way to measure participation in a match. If the game didn’t feel as if you participated then you get no pips and always lose rating. But I doubt it would be easy, or even feasible, to implement such a thing. And even if it was implemented they would need a way to make sure that someone didn’t just go out and cap home and stay there for the rest of the match to “participate”

And this here is the reason it is a bad idea to reward pips for losing.

Sad thing is, you can have your post deleted if someone even feels slightly offended by it, even receive infractions, but stuff like this goes on in game unpunished.

OP, you’re gonna want to black out the name in your picture or else this thread will be deleted. Either way, Anet isn’t going to do anything to that guy.

It seems like if there’s hard proof against someone, action should be taken, no?

You must be new here. Only thing that’ll happen is the OP gets infracted for posting names :^)

No. There is no problem with rewarding pips for losing. The entire point of separating pips and divisions was so that your rewards weren’t tied to winning games. The only problem is that currently ANet has no way of not awarding pips to players who didn’t do anything at all
