Guild Wars 2

If a teammate dc’s due to a server crash, their a kitten, or whatever, you will lose a pip no matter what. Even if you win. Our team had a player dc due to the issue that was patched 30min later and we all lost a point, even after we won the game. Why was this the decision? Is this the case if they’re a pug? There is no logical reason why we should ever lose a pip for winning a match. Sure the dc’d player can lose a pip that’s not so bad, but this isn’t good, not getting a pip would be better. This is a pretty bad design choice and needs to be rectified. I can’t think of a worse implementation than this.

If someone on your team dc’s you always lose a pip even in pug groups

That is incredibly stupid.

Well it’s one aspect of many that are incredibly stupid about this system. The most annoying is the unbalance of Elite Specs to non… Players still determined to run their old pre-HoT meta pvp build thinking it’s great and matchmaking for solo queue players not taking into account Elite Spec meta when forming team comp.

It’s just bad design all around.

Bad balance is something most pvp games suffering from and has to be tested. This is just spectacular though, some one had to have said “if they have a leaver the enemy team deserves to be punished” and then the rest of the staff had to say “yeah that’s fair, even if they play well and win despite being at a disadvantage, they should still get screwed over.” If someone dc’s right now at any time they may as well just end the game and give the enemy point a pip because there is literally no reason not to.

You should feel proud. That’s basicly ANet saying “You are to good to even have 1 pip..u need a handicap!”……
