Hello, first I want to say that I am new to the game so please bear with me.

My concern/question is the negative effects of PVP dishonor system and what i can do (if anything) to deal with my situation (which is random internet disconnection problems).

For the most I can enjoy most of the game, but when it comes to PVP (which is the aspect I enjoy the most and would like to do more) it becomes very frustrating since no matter how short (as 1 minute) the disconnection can be or even if my team is winning (by far), I get desertion.

It would not be much of a problem if the waiting time is just a few minutes but since is a random disconnection problem and it can happen multiple times I end up with long waiting (desertion/dishonor) times.

Is there a way the system can identify the people that is actually active in games so it knows that is not just afking for rewards/exp or leaving losing matches.

As the system currently is, no it cannot.
It is sad because it penalize any player no matter the reason of that disconnection, and even the team itself whereas it is not inherently their fault if the player disconnected.

We can only hope that Anet will bother to do something about their faulty system they try to shove down our throat, in the meanwhile my only (if rather poor) advice would be to avoid ranked because of the current toxicity. You will not be welcomed with a shabby internet that can cause random disconnect and it may turn you off from a gamemode that do have incredibly high potential.

I see. And yes, I don’t have tried ranked for that very same reason.

Thank you for the replay.

It’s been rather rare that I’ve found a team that can win a 4 v 5. While a disconnect may actually prevent you from playing ranked. Perhaps take a second to think how it may actually impact the other players on your team. I can understand that you don’t like getting punished for something that is out of your own control, however, expecting other players to be okay with your disconnect is unfair as well.

If you’re disconnecting this frequently, I’d advise you to try and figure out the cause of your faulty internet rather than trying to ask anet to remove the dishonour. Sounds like you need to troubleshoot your internet.
