Guild Wars 2

I’m wondering why after so many years there is no report feature to appropriately punish regular quitters in PvP. There’s really no excuse for this. These players who stand in the base moving from time to time to avoid the “if you do not move in 50 seconds you will be kicked” message after losing the first engagement or being down a couple hundred points deplete the competitive atmosphere right out of your game. New players will see other players do this and follow the trend or simply be discouraged from PvP’ing. They will never know the 300 point comebacks that Temple provides, the lord rush at the last moment for the win over the dominant team in Foefire, or the solo thief carrying his team to infinity and beyond on Forest with boss kills and steals. Why is there no feature to let players know that it hurts this game to be a sour puss quitter? I guess there’s some grand reason for not adding a “quitter” report system to competitive PvP. I remember in GW1, when players would quit or purposely throw games, how even the enemy team would report them. Then they’d have dishonorable status for an X amount of time depending on their recent offense count. But hey, that sounds too convenient.

I suspect the basic reason quitters aren’t punished is that it would need a human monitor. That would be an expensive full time employee.

Suppose there was a dominant player/class as in the last seasonal tournament.

Dishonor could be abused to keep that person or class out of matches. This is the same reason I don’t support being able to blacklist specific players from being matched with you.

Dishonorable became a problem for a little while there. I got it once because I was DC ing through no fault of my own.

That really kittened me off.

I do agree that regular quitting should be punished. One player in particular quits without fail in every match he participates in, unless his team is clearly dominant. He’ll then go on map chat and claim the team isn’t good enough for him.
