Guild Wars 2

The 10 second count down no longer puts players back to the spawn point if they are in the spawn area. This is leading to a lot of late starts and team mates not realizing the match has started. Some of them are busy goofing off and don’t realize the timer is up, because they are so used to relying on the repositioning. Please revert

That’s sad. Players, if entering a competitive match should be waiting ready and alert. Not Anets fault.

there was also no reason to change it after 3,5 years.

True, but they did.

Ya, as a veteran this caught me by surprise a few times myself. I’ve always managed to make it out before the timer ends, but sometimes by the skin of my teeth. I’ve seen teammates leave the starting area much later, and I agree that it’s silly. Maybe add a sound to countdown starting.
