Guild Wars 2

If some elitist jerk quits your team and you lose, do you get penalized the same as if you had lost without him quitting or does the system take that into account and cushion the loss due to it being out of your control because someone decided to be vindictive?

Not to mention countless time a dc happens, like in my case this morning. No one’s at fault, but a dc is a dc.

I’m pretty sure you don’t lose any points if your match ends and you lose with only 4 on your team. I do think that on the leaderboards it still counts as a loss in your “Losses” column, and it really shouldn’t.

If he is in your ‘party’ you loose full points. If he is not, you do not loose any. The loss will show on the leader boards but you will not loose rank points (only your W/L ratio will go down).

That would be nice Evan because some of us care about our win/loss ratio too, not just points/spot on the leaderboard. I don’t think a loss when you only have 4 people (as a solo player) should show up in your loss column when realistically you had no chance of winning.

Good to know. That sounds a lot more fair given that it’s not fair for that one person to potentially ruin everyone’s point score by being a kitten, though I do agree that W/L shouldn’t be affected either and hope that is taken into consideration in the future.

Dear Anet, you should finally penalize quitting from matches. In ranked and unranked. If someone quits, ban him from spvp for an hour, if he quits another match within a day, ban him from spvp for a day, if he quits a third match in a week, ban him for a week.

There are no legitimate reasons to quit a match which happen twice in a normal gamers life.

this isn’t true at all. it is absolutely possible to win a 4v5. of course it’s more difficult, but there isn’t “no chance” of winning one.

And what if player disconnect and come back in one minute? One day I dced and game loading time for some reasons took like 5 minutes, it was 50-200 and we won after I joined game. Did I deserve a penalty?
