Hello,

My internet sometimes disconnects, but I am able to join back fairly quickly. It just happened in 3 games but we still won them.

Arenanet has decided to give me 3 losses instead of wins?

I have also seen another post, where if a team member disconnects/leaves the match – the players that are still in the match get a loss..

I’ve only just realized this, therefore I wonder how many free loses I received..

Whats the point of me playing PvP now..

To answer question #1. Yes they decided to give you a loss because you ‘deserted’ the match. You say “fairly quickly” but the reality is you were gone for over a minute. That is not quickly.

To answer question #2. To have fun. If the only reason you were playing is to get high on the LB’s for a mini Llama, then there is nothing left for you.

You do not get deserter status for a team member disconnecting. You get it for a party member disconnecting. This, only if they are gone for more than 60 seconds. If you are solo Q’ing, you only ever have to worry about yourself.
