I don’t PvP a lot, in fact i mostly do PvP to get dailies done.
However, i’ve seen a few issues that i would like to give some feedback on and maybe get some information because i am not sure on what has been/will be done to prevent them.
Here a sum up list:
-1. Players leaving a game (mostly when losing)
This is annoying to others obviously, because you could end up losing instead of turning the tides.
- Solution: give players who leave the game a 15 minute penalty, so that they cannot join a game.
-2. Players pick the winning side/ switch to the winning side.
-Solution: Remove the side switching option.
-3. Glory farming
Solution: I can’t fill this one in, I have no idea why there are custom arena’s in the first place. (please fill me in)
What i do know about it, is that it yields more glory per hour then any form of “regular” gaming does, and with the Dec 10th update where it’s possible to spend glory on gifts, these guys became “rewarded” and are now among the richest people in the game (assuming they kept most of their glory)
So i guess that’s it for now. I feel there is so much more potential to PvP. I think the reason i don’t like doing PvP is because i suck at it. And because i feel like the game is really unbalanced by these issues mentioned above.
I am unaware of any upcomming changes or past changes that i might have missed.
For instance, i don’t even know what happens if you leave a game prematurely. I never tried, simply because i don’t want to let my team down. Any information regarding these issues is very much welcome. And i am open for a civilized debate
