Guild Wars 2

Since Team Q and solo Q were merged and now it is ranked/unranked, in both arenas new “trolls” have been spotted, constantly throwing games and playing with “I play however I want” attitude. It is becoming really difficult to play a decent game without having full premade teams to prevent such trolling. These people do everything the opposite of the pvp game mode stands for.

From not capturing points to purposely throwing SR/mass invisibility while capturing an empty node to simply running around the map without killing or fighting at all. They either block chat or repeat “I paid to have fun” types of sentences and lose the match on purpose. And there is no way to report them since they are not botting or selling golds. Shouldn’t there be penalty for those behaviors? Soon we might even have people that team up on purpose to troll people unless compensated otherwise.

People are stupid, selfish and inconsiderate. It will never change, and it’s not a difficult problem to realise. So why isn’t something like this a standard feature for PvP games? Because it’s complex, difficult to visualise without fault and implement, and therefore risks doing wrong for people who are not actually guilty of such acts. This is why - as ANet also push for - we should queue with premades. Unfortunately not everyone can, and not everyone wants to. Unranked and ranked matches are a move to address this, and it’s likely that’s all we’re going to see for a time.

My suggestion: find an active PvP guild and form the best part of a premade when you PvP.

I never experienced that, but I’ve had my share of ragequiters who just wander round if they are discontent for whatever reason. What do you want to do? They are still playing, you can always report them, but what more would you suggest? A ban system would be worse: these poor new players who are just bad but willing to do well will soon be discouraged to queue. You have to accept that you are playing with and against other people, and that some people are just bad sports! What I usually do is I start queuing solo and when I find people I like, I ask them to join my party, and after a few games, voilà! Full premade.

Punish the rank farmers even more!
