Guild Wars 2

Post here if you’re a member! This time should be remembered in history for how lame it is for a game to hand out autobans!

I got mine in Skyhammer! 2.5 days!

Whee!

Seconded. Ironically, after being disconnected from a hotjoin match in Temple of the Silent Storm, dishonorable debuff for a little over a day. Sigh.

pretty sure the the hotjoin system and dishonorable are mutually exclusive.

I might have been in a waiting queue for solo arena during that, but if I was, I was disconnected without ever entering the solo arena and unable to reconnect until well after it was over. In any case, whatever automated system is responsible for this contrived debuff didn’t care either way.

Yep, the forced queue system led you right into the jaws of the autoban!

Same as if you had disconnected from your ISP while in queue! Or went to the door for pizza, or if your grandmother had caught fire and needed to be put out! Or alt tabbed to type in a forum instead of excitedly watching a queue timer tick for up to 10 minutes! The queue system needs to be changed just as much as the autoban!

2 days 17 hours on mine, good thing the AA beta weekend starts tomorrow.

I personally like the dishonorable ban…it sucks for people who get disconnected frequently..it really does.. but that said, at least my odds of being on a handicap team went waay down..

I’m sitting at 2 stacks. Alt+f4 when Skyhammer popped up twice in 3 queues.

Going to team arena for the next 3 days :p

I’m a little confused here. You joined a queue, then got disconnected and are now banned for 2 days?
Hmm.. But you need 3 stacks to get banned.. Let me see.
Oh, you already abandoned 2 matches within 72 hours?
Please. Tell me more about how unfair your ban is.

(If all of your stacks are from disconnects, then you should probably fix your connection before joining matches. No matter the cause, it sucks for those who have to play 4v5)
