Guild Wars 2

To combat Skyhammer farming, anet decided to reward rank points only when you finish the match. While I appreciate the late effort, Anet is still going about this all wrong.

Hotjoin used to rewarded you for your time, now you have to stay to the end or you won’t get a single point. So when the solo q pops midway through the match, I won’t be rewarded at all.

I like to hotjoin while I wait for my solo q. Everyone does, that’s what make a hotjoin a hotjoin. Now I’m being punished because of something those skyhammer abusers did while they already got away free with 50 ranks.

Anet, please fix this.

When did this happen? I believe I still currently get glory as I get it…not at the end of a match.

I don’t understand why they can’t just ban these people.

Go to any hotjoin, look at your bar, kill someone cap something, look at bar again. If you notice it, nothing will have moved. This happened in the last living story update.

Who cares? it’s hotjoin…
I personally don’t

Just because you don’t care does not mean that almost every dedicated pvper is affected by this. The people who pvped the right way are getting screwed for something they didn’t do. Instead of fixing the problem, they created another problem.

Let me remind everybody that original anet staff members highest rank is 41, minus the gw2 players they hired. That tells me they haven’t played the game long enough to really understand the dedication some players worked towards getting rank 50+. They are too busy working on actual game stuff instead of focusing on player experience, because lets be honest, they don’t really have any.

I really don’t like this thread. But I will point out that this quote can probably be found in EVERY thread asking for a fix to skyhammer farmers. They didn’t like that noobs were farming rank so quickly when others dedicated themselves to getting theirs through normal gameplay.

Whats done is done, the farmers get away with it. There is nothing we can do that will change that. But what the hell am I supposed to do for 7-12 minutes while waiting for a solo q?

I duel on duel servers while I wait…you could play cookie clicker, it’ll never gyp you out of internet points like gw2 is doing now… I dunno..
