Guild Wars 2

Hello, I think that the dishonor system needs a complete and total revamp.

I just played a match where my internet hiccuped and disconnected for 2 minutes. I come back ASAP, and continue playing and it helps us win the game.

I had higher score than anyone on my team. I contributed a lot to winning. I apologized when I came back and said “Sorry, my internet hiccuped” and my teammates said it was no problem stuff happens, just keep trying to win! My teammates thanked me for coming back asap and said I did an excellent job and helped secure the win. I helped win, I was only not there for 2 minutes due to a internet hiccup, and I get 10 minutes of disonor and lose a pip.

That isn’t fair. Your team should be able to vote on if you lose a pip or not – it should not be automatically determined by the game. Maybe my team feels it’s ok that I disconnected because – stuff happens, maybe I’m queueing as a full premade and we don’t want to screw one of our teammates over.

It should not be an automatic system. There’s too many factors for the game to automatically decide things like this.

If abusing it is a problem, then if the person is DCed at the end of the match make it automatic dishonor no matter what for them.

Does anyone else feel like this system is really unfair? I don’t feel like I did anything dishonorable – my internet simply hiccuped because internet will be internet. I don’t have internet problems and this is the first time it’s ever happened, but sometimes your internet just hiccups once in a few months and when you lose out on pips from a win AND get dishonor for 10 minutes it leaves a really bad taste in your mouth.

I’ve never played a game where I can win a match and lose something AND be given a penalty while actively still in the match for over 80% of it.
