Guild Wars 2

Its a very simple request. When counting down to the match starting, if not all players are connected then abort the match, freeze the clock, anything. Just don’t start a 4v5 or worse match.

Its a free win for the 5 and an unfair loss to the 4 or less. The match is pretty much already over and decided as soon as it starts, you just wait for the bitter end.

I just lost 2 ticks on my tier due to such a game that started as 4v5. That game should not have started.

Either abort the match or… If not everyone are connected then freeze the clock and say “waiting for players” until everyone are present. Give it 2 minutes from that point until aborting the match entirely. Either way abort is required.

Once aborted disconnected players will get a strike. On 3 such strikes they’l get dishonored.

You are never losing a match so badly that you cannot win until the enemy has 400+ points.

Even then I’ve played 4v5 and it looked like we were going to lose…. the enemy had 350+ pts and we had 60 something then had our 5th reconnect and we pulled through and won the match.

I don’t think that is going to be the case every time…. but if you put the abandon system into the game, you remove the chance that it could happen entirely.

If you all agree to throw the match, you can just let the enemy triple cap, and feed them kills without attacking back.

The loss will come soon enough.
