Guild Wars 2

Match should not start without everybody being present. As of now, the match starts after the 1 min mark and some people don’t even load or dc. This is a big problem, because it puts the team in a 4v5 situation. Something has to be done about this, taking losses before the match starts, because we have a dc is unacceptable. I personally would like to see the MM look for another individual to join the party or restart queue again.

Myself and many others have tried repeatedly to bring this to Anet’s attention. You know what we get for our efforts? Nothing, unless you count trolls. My most recent attempt to address this, and other issues current impacting ranked, is here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Let-s-Fix-Ranked-PVP/6451610

It’s worth remembering that ANet often read, but rarely respond, on the forums.

How often do such things happen to you?

I’ve played nearly 100 matches (silver t3) in this season and so far I had one guy going afk after we lost the first mid fight and 2 people with dc during the match.

this happens to me a lot in silver tier

This is a serious problem, many , many players decide to rerrol 3 secs before game starts, making the rest of the team wipe, and causing a snowball efect.
Alowing the other team to take control of the map.
Players have 2 minutes to rerrol , but often they rerrol, just a few secs before game.
I think the game should be paused and the player that rerroled be giving penalty time towards dishonor, incase was longer than 2 minutes.

In my experience, the only time they respond is to tell you you’ve been “naughty” on the forums.

In mine you sometimes, but rarely, get responses from developers in public. They extremely rarely contact me to tell me I’ve been naughty.

Perhaps you should reexamine the possible causes of your receiving only infractions as a result of your communications, hrm?
